Edge fence (Guide rule)
003873
Edge fence is useful for minimizing a short run of cut by
cutting in a uniform width. The edge fence (guide rule) is
provided on the side of the tool. Press two pins for the
edge fence (guide rule) so that the edge fence appears.
Move the tool forward while keeping the flat surface of
the edge fence in contact with the side of the workpiece.
To return the edge fence to an original position, push it
upwards from its underside.

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 to be 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
003876
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 planer blades from the drum, loosen the
eight installation bolts by only one full turn with the
socket wrench.
Then push and slide a planer blade sideways from the
belt side using the helm of the socket wrench.
To remove another planer blade, follow the same
procedure as above.
