RCD tripping when planer turned on? Discussion ThreadRCD tripping when planer turned on? Electrical Advice

Hi, I recently bought a new planer. When I switch it on the RCD in the garage board trips. The machine doesn't try to start, the power trips as soon as the ON button is pressed. It has a 16 amp plug. I plugged it into an existing 16 amp outlet that I use with my welder. The planers info plate says it is 13.5amp.
My other machines that all run fine.
Any ideas what may be causing the problem?
