SOURCE: planer is not feeding wood through without manual force
I had the same problem...sometimes you have to take the smallest amount off (1/64th) and it might work, otherwise your blades are probably dull. Try to feed the boards through the planer towards the sides, not just the center so they wear evenly across the length of the blades. They wear out very quickly, which makes this planer very frustrating. If you take the top cover off and inspect them, you'll probably see nicks in them and it's time to replace or rotate them. Each blade has two sides you can remove all the screws using the T-handle wrench from the top cover and flip them. Also, as the blades begin to wear, the planer will become louder and louder. That's another way to tell. When you install new blades notice how much quieter it is when you plane boards.

It sounds like your blade holder assy has become misaligned on the blade drive shaft. Try if you can to use a straight edge on 2 planes 90 deg apart and see if there are any gaps in either of the srtaight edges. I suspect that the blade drive holder has become slightly dislodged from the drive collar on one end allowing the blade drive to tilt on the drive shaft. I had the same thing happen on another brand named Planer and it was a matter of reseating the collar to cure the stripes. Sure took a long time to sort out. Good Luck.

Hi. no problem. Here is a free download of the manual you need. http://www.dewaltservicenet.com/Products/DocumentView.aspx?productid=43218&typeId=10079&documentId=29512
With new sharp blades you will find that it feeds as it should.
joe.
4 thumbs up please. ty

The chain needs to be sharpened or replaced. A 4mm round file is normally used for sharpening this size saw chain but check your manual or ask a dealer for details.
