Install the dust bag on the nozzle of the tool. When
installing it, push the bag's entry port toward the nozzle
as far as it will go to prevent it from coming off during
operation.
For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes
about half full. Remove the dust bag from the tool and
pull out the fastener.
NOTE:
If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be
performed.

OPERATION

Planing operation

First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece
surface without the blades making any contact. Switch
on and wait until the blades attain full speed. Then move
the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool
at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of
planing. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece
in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat
downhill.
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish.
The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not
result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of
cut can be increased, while for a good finish you should
reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more
slowly.
