instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.

PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the
tool down. An exposed cutter may engage the
surface leading to possible loss of control and
serious injury.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
5. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very
carefully.
6. Be sure the blade installation bolts are
securely tightened before operation.
7. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
Director
10. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
11. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
12. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
13. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood.
Clean out chips with a stick.
14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
15. Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten tool life.
16. Use only Makita blades specified in this
manual.
17. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are
working with.
