any work on the tool.
Removing or installing the blade
Fig.12
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 replacing
•
the blade. Reajust it if necessary.
Dust bag
Fig.13
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
remove the battery cartridge. Remove the dust bag from
the tool and pull the bag's fastener out. Empty the dust
bag by tapping 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 operations
can be performed.
