WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when you
simply pull the switch trigger without pressing the lock-off
button. A switch in need of repair may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury. Return tool to a Makita
service center for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock-off button. This can
cause switch breakage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, the lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress and hold the lock-off button, and then pull the

Foot
The foot springs out of the rear base when you lift the
tool up from work surfaces to avoid the planer blades
touching the workpiece directly. It prevents the planer
blades from accidental damages when not in use.
The foot springs back into the rear base whenever you
place the tool base over work surfaces.
