ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
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.
1. Remove the existing blade, if the tool has been
in use, carefully clean the drum surfaces and the
drum cover. To remove the blades on the drum,
unscrew the three installation bolts with the socket
wrench. The drum cover comes off together with
the blades.
► 1. Socket wrench
2. To install the blades, loosely attach the adjusting
plate to the set plate with the pan head screws
and set the mini planer blade on the gauge base
so that the cutting edge of the blade is perfectly
flush with the inside flank of the gauge plate.

3. Set the adjusting plate/set plate on the gauge base so
that the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate rest
in the mini planer blade groove, then press in the heel
of the adjusting plate flush with the back side of the
gauge base and tighten the pan head screws.
4. It is important that the blade sits flush with the inside
flank of the gauge plate, the planer blade locating lugs
sit in the blade groove and the heel of the adjusting
plate is flush with the back side of the gauge base.
Check this alignment carefully to ensure uniform cutting.
5. Slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the groove
of the drum.
6. Set the drum cover over the adjusting plate/set
plate and screw in the three hex flange head bolts
so that a gap exists between the drum and the set
1
plate to slide the mini planer blade into position.
The blade will be positioned by the planer blade
locating lugs on the set plate.
