Removing or installing planer
blades
CAUTION:
• Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully
when attaching the blades to the tool. A loose
installation bolt can be dangerous. Always
check to see they are tightened securely.
• Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves
or rags to protect your fingers or hands when
removing or installing the blades.
• Use only the Makita wrench provided to remove
or install the blades. Failure to do so may result
in overtightening or insufficient tightening of the
installation bolts. This could cause an injury.
For tools with conventional planer
blades
► Fig.3: 1. Socket wrench 2. Bolts
To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the three
installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum plate
comes off together with the blades.
► Fig.4: 1. Bolts 2. Drum 3. Planer blade 4. Drum
plate 5. Adjusting plate
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of
the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/
vibration will result, causing poor planing action and,
eventually, tool breakdown.

Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade
edge is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the gauge
plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then sim-
ply press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the
back side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on
the adjusting plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting
plate into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on
it. Tighten the three installation bolts evenly and alter-
nately with the socket wrench.
