Power supply
The machine should be connected only to a power
supply of the same voltage as indicated on the
nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase
AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance
with European Standard and can, therefore, also be
used from sockets without earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to enclosed Safety
instructions.
These symbols mean:
Read instruction manual.
DOUBLE INSULATION
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
1. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
3. Handle the blades very carefully.
4. Be sure the blade installation bolts are
securely tightened before operation.
5. Hold the machine firmly with both hands.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. Before using the machine on an actual work-
piece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration
or wobbling that could indicate poor installa-
tion or a poorly balanced blade.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
10. Keep at least 200 mm away from the machine
at all times.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
12. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood.
Clean out chips with a stick.
13. Do not leave the machine running. Operate the
machine only when hand-held.
14. When leaving the planer, switch off and set it
with the front base up on a wooden block, so
that the blades do not contact anything.
15. Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten machine life.
16. Wait for complete run-down before putting the
machine aside.
17. Use only Makita blades specified in this
manual.
