After a cutting operation, raise the back side of the tool
so that the foot comes out of the rear base. This pre-
vents the planer blades to be damaged.

Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Removing or installing planer
blades
CAUTION:
Tighten the blade installation bolts
carefully when attaching the planer blades to
the tool. A loose installation bolt can be dangerous.
Always check to see they are tightened securely.
CAUTION:
Handle the planer blades very
carefully. Use gloves or rags to protect your fin-
gers or hands when removing or installing the
blades.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita wrench
provided to remove or install the planer blades.
Failure to do so may result in overtightening or insuf-
ficient tightening of the installation bolts. This could
cause an injury.
For tool with conventional planer
blades
To remove the planer blades on the drum, unscrew the
installation bolts with the hex wrench. The drum cover
comes off together with the blades.

To install the planer blades, do the following procedure.
1.
Clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to
the drum and planer blades.
2. Choose planer blades of the same dimensions
and weight. Otherwise drum oscillation/vibration will
result, causing poor planing action and, eventually, tool
breakdown.
3. Use the blade gauge to set the planer blades cor-
rectly. Put the planer blade on the blade gauge. Apply
the cutting edge of the blade on the inside flank of the
blade gauge.
