ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
1.
Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
2.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
3.
Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very
carefully.
4.
Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely
tightened before operation.
5.
Hold the tool firmly.
6.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wob-
bling that could indicate poor installation or a
poorly balanced blade.
8.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
9.
Wait until the blade attains full speed before cut-
ting.

10. Keep at least 200 mm away from the tool at all
times.
11. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
12. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean
out chips with a stick.
13. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
14. When leaving the planer, switch off and set it
with the front base up on a wooden block, so
that the blades do not contact anything.
15. Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten tool life.
16. Wait for complete run-down before putting the
tool aside.
17. Use only Makita blades specified in this manual.
