I just got my new planer today and used it on 2 boards worked great but

You may have locked the cutter head by raising it up.
I don't have the Makita but my dewalt will lock w/the cover off the blades.

Also you may have a defective unit and maybe the cord was pulled out..

Did you try both outlets... sure you don't have a switched outlet...

Trying all possiblities.
