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
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.
Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade
edge is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the gauge
plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply
press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back
side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on the
adjusting plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate
into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it.
Tighten all the installation bolts evenly and alternately
with the socket wrench.
Repeat the above procedures for the other blade.
