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 planer blades from the drum, loosen the
eight installation bolts by only one full turn with the
socket wrench.
Then push and slide a planer blade sideways from the
belt side using the helm of the socket wrench.
To remove another planer blade, follow the same proce-
dure as above.
