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.

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
installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum
cover comes off together with the blades.
