blades
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.
For tool with standard planer blades

To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the three
installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum plate
comes off together with the blades.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of
the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/
vibration will result, causing poor planing action and,
eventually, tool breakdown.
