001605
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.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of the
same dimensions and weight, or drum
oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor planing
action and, eventually, tool breakdown.
