I have Record power Pt260, functions fine until today. Table for thicknessing (with scale in mm) suddenly stop. The chain (horzontal ) is ok but not possible to lower or raise table. What can it be?

The thicknessing table on a Record Power PT260 could stop moving up and down due to the following reasons:

1. Build-up of shavings or dust on the mechanism – This can cause stiffness and prevent movement. Cleaning and lubricating with a silicone-based lubricant can resolve this issue.
2. Rise and fall chain wrongly adjusted or broken – If the chain is misaligned or damaged, the table may not operate correctly. A suitably qualified person or authorized agent should check and repair the machine if necessary.
