??? G'day there, am needing help or advice for my Dewalt Planer, was using it yesterday morning planing down some rimu from 50mm down to 40mm, ran out 20 or so LM, that was all fine, I then wanted to thickness come 25mm Rough sawn Rimu down to 20mm, started winding the adjustment down, then it got very very stiff, I then tried winding the handle back up but it Will not budge at all, have tried winding it back up with a bit of force, but still nothing an dont want to do any serious damage to it. Have blown what I can of the remaining shavings out of  the machine, degreased he 4 steel runners and 2 threaded rods that it screws up and down on, re lubricated them all, and still nothing.

If anyone has had this problem in the past with this or knows how to tackle it could you please leave a post as Itd be much appreciated

P.S searched  googled and have found a few people have had the same problem
 
I would check the cutting head locking mechanism and the chain that turns the posts
