6. Loosen 7. Tighten 8. Shaft lock
CAUTION:
• When installing the plate joiner blade, mount
the inner flange with the side marked "22" facing
toward you.
To remove the blade, loosen the clamp screw and open
the blade cover. Push the shaft lock and loosen the lock
nut using the lock nut wrench. To install the blade, first
mount the inner flange.
Then mount the blade and the lock nut. Securely tighten
the lock nut using the lock nut wrench. Close the blade
cover and tighten the clamp screw to secure the blade
cover.
CAUTION:
• Use only Makita lock nut wrench provided to
remove or install the blade.
• Always check the depth of groove after replac-
ing the blade. Reajust it if necessary.
Dust bag
► Fig.10: 1. Dust bag 2. Fastener 3. Dust nozzle
To attach the dust bag, fit it onto the dust nozzle. If the
dust bag becomes an obstacle to your work, turn the
dust nozzle to change the dust bag position.
When the dust bag is about half full, switch off and
unplug the tool. Remove the dust bag from the tool and
pull the bag's fastener out. Empty the dust bag by tap-
ping it lightly to remove as much of the dust as possible.
NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your
plate joiner, more efficient and cleaner opera-
tions can be performed.

To make joints, proceed as follows:
1. Fit the two workpieces together as they will appear
in the finished joint position.
2. Mark the center of the intended biscuit grooves on
the workpiece using a pencil.
NOTE:
• The center of grooves should be at least 50 mm
from the outer edge of the workpieces.
• Allow 100 mm - 150 mm between grooves in
multiple biscuit application.
3. For Corner Joint and T-Butt Joint only
Clamp the vertical workpiece to the
workbench.
For Miter Joint only
Clamp one workpiece to the workbench with
the mitered edge facing up.
For Frame Joint and Edge-To-Edge Joint only
Clamp one workpiece to the workbench.
4. Set the depth of groove according to the size
of biscuit to be used. Refer to the table in the
"Adjusting the depth of groove" section.
5. Adjust the angle guide height so that the blade is
centered in the board thickness.
6. Align the center mark on the base with the pencil
line on the workpiece.
