OPERATION

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury to
persons, do not operate without nozzle or chip
cover in place.
Planing operation
► Fig.9: 1. Start 2. End
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.
Chamfering
To make a cut as shown in the figure, align the ''V''
groove in the front base with the edge of the workpiece
and plane it as shown in the figure.
► Fig.10
► Fig.11: 1. Align the (Y) groove with the edge of the
workpiece

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other
maintenance or adjustment should be performed by
Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
Sharpening the planer blades
► Fig.12: 1. Sharpening holder
Always keep your blades sharp for the best perfor-
mance possible. Use the sharpening holder to remove
nicks and produce a fine edge.
First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insert
the blades (A) and (B), so that they contact the sides
(C) and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts.

(C) 5. Side (D)
Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2 or 3 minutes
before sharpening. Hold the holder so that the both
blades contact the dressing stone for simultaneous
sharpening at the same angle.
