Hi,
This is my first post on this forum and I generally trawl through forums looking for info without getting too involved but I am looking for some help if I can get it.
I have a Kity 638 thickness planer that, though it is quite old is in very good working condition. It has separate switches for thicknesser and surface planing modes, which I assume are controlled by internal switches that activate the appropriate switch for the configuration it is in and deactivate the the opposite switch, obviously for safety reasons.
When I last used it I used the surface planer and then converted it to thicknesser and used that. When I converted it back to surface planer the machine would not switch on. I've tried flipping it back to thicknesser and that works but still not in surface planing mode.
I assume that the issue lies with the on/off switch or the micro switches but before I start dismantling everything has anyone experienced issues like this or got any advice?
I'm not a mechanical fool but I'm certainly not an electronics expert so I'm not 100% sure of what I'm looking at and I don't want to damage anything.
Thanks
