Electronic Function - Makita KP001G Instruction Manual

Switch action
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 press-
ing 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
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.

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.

Removing and installing planer
blades
CAUTION:
Tighten the blade installation bolts
carefully when attaching the planer blades to
the tool. Always check to see they are tightened
securely. A loose installation bolt can be dangerous.
CAUTION:
Handle the planer blades very
carefully. Use gloves or rags to protect your fin-
gers or hands when removing and installing the
planer blades.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita wrench pro-
vided to remove and install the planer blades.
Failure to do so may result in overtightening or insuf-
ficient tightening of the installation bolts. This could
cause an injury.
NOTICE:
To install planer blades, clean out all
chips or foreign matter adhering to the drum or
the planer blades. Use planer blades of the same
dimensions and weight, otherwise drum oscilla-
tion/vibration, causing poor planing action, and
tool breakdown will result.
For tool with conventional planer
blades
NOTE: A pair of planer blades are assembled in
the drum. Repeat the following procedures for each
planer blade.
Removing conventional planer blades
1. Unscrew the installation bolts from the drum using
the box wrench provided.
2. Disassemble the drum plate and conventional
planer blade (with adjusting plate) from the drum.
