If you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician. If the circuit breaker tripsor the fuse blows regularly, your machine may be operating on a circuit that is close to its amperage draw capacity.BASIC FUNCTIONSThe Magnum Industrial 20" heavy-duty planer is designed for thickness planing of solid wood only.
