Ridgid R4300 Planer: rattling noise from inside when I switch on.

When I turn switch on to use planer there is a rattling noise like something is loose coming from inside. I removed the vacuum port and cover but didn't see anything loose. Was going to remove the switch cover to look inside there so I removed the top screw of the cover and need to know where the bottom screws are because the switch comes out at the top but is hung up at the bottom. Didn't want to try to much because I don't was to damage it. The planer works great and cuts really well just don't want to keep using it in case something got inside of it. I purchased this unit used.

Ridgid R4300 Planer: Why my planer wont raise for a thicker piece

My Rigid planer spent the winter under my shop lean to. When starting it up this spring, the motor will run but the thickness adjustment will not move. I took the sides and bottom off and the chain was slack and had play. The adjustment rods would not turn when I tried to turn them with my fingers.
