After a cutting operation, raise the back side of the tool
and a foot comes under the level of the rear base. This
prevents the tool blades from being damaged.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Removing or installing planer blades
CAUTION:
Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when
•
attaching the blades to the tool. A loose installation
bolt can be dangerous. Always check to see they
are tightened securely.
Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or
•
rags to protect your fingers or hands when
removing or installing the blades.
Use only the Makita wrench provided to remove or
•
install the blades. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the
installation bolts. This could cause an injury.
To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the five
installation bolts with the hex wrench. The drum cover
comes off together with the blades.

To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of the
same dimensions
oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor planing
action and, eventually, tool breakdown.

There are two adjusting screws for each blade. When
installing the blade, the notch in the blade should fit over
the head of the adjusting screw. Then fit on the drum
cover and secure all the installation bolts only
finger-tight.
Turn the drum until the blade edge is right in the middle
between the front and rear bases.
Place the triangular rule flat on the rear base and run it
out over and across the blade edge. Turn the two
adjusting screws to adjust the blade protrusion. The
blade setting should be made so that the protrusion will
be uniform all the way across. Thus the triangular rule
should be flush with the entire width of the blade edge.
After adjusting both blades, tighten all the installation
bolts evenly and alternately with the wrench.

After tightening the bolts, secure the adjusting screws
fully.
