FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 1)
The depth of cut can be adjusted within a range of 0 –
3.5 mm. Turn the knob on the front of the tool until the
pointer is aligned with the desired cutting depth on the
scale. Set the depth of a cut observing the maximum
depth which is limited by width according to the following
table.
Correlation of width of cut and maximum depth of
cut
Width of cut
0 – 150 mm
150 – 240 mm
240 – 312 mm
Switch action (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
For tool with lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
For tool with lock-off button
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally pulled, a
lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press the
lock-off button and pull the trigger. Release the trigger to
stop.
Overload protector (Option)
This tool is equipped with an overload protector which
automatically cuts out to break the circuit whenever
heavy work is prolonged. When it cuts out, inspect the
blade for damage or something wrong. After making sure
that there is nothing wrong with the tool, push the restart
button to resume operation.
Maximum depth of cut
3.5 mm
2 mm
1.5 mm
Edge fence (Guide rule) (Fig. 3)
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.
Foot (Fig. 4)
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.
Guideline of cutting blade passage (Fig. 5)
Both ends of the front base are a guideline to show the
ends of cutting blades passage.
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 (Fig. 6)
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 tight-
ened securely.
• Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or rags to
protect your fingers or hands when removing or install-
ing the blades.
• Use only the Makita wrench provided to remove or
install the blades. Failure to do so may result in over-
tightening or insufficient tightening of the installation
bolts. This could cause an injury.
To remove planer blades on the drum, loosen the eight
installation bolts by only one full turn with the hex
wrench.
Then push and slide a planer blade sideways from the
belt side using the helm of the hex wrench.
To remove another planer blade, follow the same proce-
dure as above. (Fig. 7 & 8)
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades.
Insert the blade between the drum and the set plate from
the nozzle extraction side so that the blade will be cen-
tered from both ends of the drum or set plate.
First tighten the eight installation bolts lightly and evenly
shifting from the center bolts to the outward bolts with the
hex wrench.
And then, tighten all of the installation bolts securely.
Install another blade in the same manner as above.
