Maintenance - Makita 1051D Instruction Manual

Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
To make a stepped cut as shown in Fig. 9, use the
edge fence (guide rule). (Fig. 9)
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Align the blade
edge with the cutting line. (Fig. 10)
Then adjust the edge fence as explained in the ''Edge
fence'' section. When planing, move the tool with the
edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece.
Otherwise uneven planing may result.
Max. shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 15 mm.
CAUTION:
Before shiplapping, adjust the blade so that the end
protrudes slightly from the side of the drum.
Chamfering (Fig. 11, 12 & 13)
To make a cut as shown in Fig. 11, align the ''V''
groove in the front base with the edge of the work-
piece and plane it as shown in Fig. 13. It chamfers up
to 5.6 mm in a single pass.
Dust bag (Fig. 14 & 15)
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 comming
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 Model 406 to
this tool, more efficient and cleaner operations can be
performed.
Removing or installing planer blades
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the
battery cartridge is removed before removing or
installing the blades.
• Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or rags
to protect your fingers or hands when removing or
installing the blades.
To remove the blades, first loosen the two installation
bolts one turn counterclockwise with the hex wrench
provided. (Fig. 16)
Push the blade from the belt side with the hex wrench.
(Fig. 17)
Remove the other blade in the same manner.
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 drum cover from the
side opposite the belt so that the blade end will
protrude slightly from the side of the drum. Tighten the
two installation bolts securely with the hex wrench
provided. (Fig. 18)
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita hex wrench provided to remove
or install the blades. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the installa-
tion bolts. This could cause an injury.

Blade height adjustment (Fig. 19)
Blade height adjustment is usually not necessary.
However, if you notice that the blade edge is below
the level of the rear base or protrudes too far from the
rear base, proceed as follows.
Loosen the two installation bolts. Turn the pan head
screws clockwise to retract the blade or counterclock-
wise to protrude it. After adjusting the blade height,
tighten the two installation bolts securely.
Hex wrench storage (Fig. 20)
When not in use, the hex wrench can be conveniently
stored as shown in Fig. 20.
