How To Use - Makita 1805B Instruction Manual

HOW TO USE
1. Planing depth (cutting volume) may be adjusted as desired by simply turning the knob
(front grip) on the front of the power planer.
2. To start the tool, simply pull the trigger.
Release the trigger to stop. For contin-
uous operation, just pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button with your
thumb. To stop the tool from the lock
position, just pull the trigger again and
release it.
3. After you switch on the tool by pulling the trigger, wait until the planer is running a t
top speed before bringing it into contact with the wood. Planing will be easier if you
incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill.
4. Starting & Finishing Planing Work
First, rest the tool front shoe flat upon
the work surface. Switch on, then move
the planer gently forward. Appy pres-
sure on front of tool a t start of planing,
and a t the back a t the end of planing.

For Fine Finishes
The speed and volume of planing determine the kind of finish. The power planer keeps
cutting a t a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the
volume is upped, while for a good finish you should but less and advance the tool
more slowly.
