costumer didnt tighten up the clamp bolts. #dewalt #mistake #smashed #tools #wrecked #planer #dcp580

This planer came in not running. Totally dead. Costumer had bought a new one, so just wanted to see if it could be fixed so he would have a spare. Problem was the lead going to the motor had simply come loose. A simple fix. I failed to check to the blade the blade clamps before testing it out. Turned out the customer had removed the blades before leaving it in and had only tightened the clamp bolts slightly. Meaning when I tested it, the set plate slid out and smashed the alu base. Always check the bolts are tight before testing, you never know how the customer left it. Instead of a quick cheap repair, this one cost me quite a bit of money. Lesson Learned the hard way.
