Switch action (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
(For tool with lock button)
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull
the switch trigger and then push in the lock button. To
stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trig-
ger fully, then release it.
(For tool with lock-off button)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool,
depress the lock-off button and pull the switch trigger.
Release the switch trigger to stop.
Overload protector (option)
This tool is equipped with an overload protector which
automatically cuts out to break the circuit whenever
heavy work is prolonged. When it cuts out, inspect the
blade for damage or something wrong. After making sure
that there is nothing wrong with the tool, push the restart
button to resume operation.
Edge fence (Guide rule) (Fig. 3)
Edge fence is useful for minimizing a short run of cut by
cutting in a uniform width. The edge fence (guide rule ) is
provided on the side of the tool. Press two pins for the
edge fence (guide rule) so that the edge fence appears.
Move the tool forward while keeping the flat surface of
the edge fence in contact with the side of the workpiece.
To return the edge fence to an original position, push it
upwards from its underside.
Foot (Fig. 4)
After a cutting operation, raise the back side of the tool
and a foot comes under the level of the rear base. This
prevents the tool blades to be damaged.
For the correct planer blade setting
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and securely. The blade must be
mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base.
Below are some examples of proper and improper settings.

(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)

ASSEMBLY
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing planer blades (Fig. 6)
Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attach-
ing 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.
To remove planer blades on the drum, loosen the eight
installation bolts by only one full turn with the hex
wrench.
Then push and slide a planer blade sideways from the
belt side using the helm of the hex wrench.
To remove another planer blade, follow the same proce-
dure as above. (Fig. 7 & 8)
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades.
Insert the blade between the drum and the set plate from
the nozzle extraction side so that the blade will be cen-
tered from both ends of the drum or set plate.
First tighten the eight installation bolts lightly and evenly
shifting from the center bolts to the outward bolts with the
hex wrench.
And then, tighten all of the installation bolts securely.
Install another blade in the same manner as above.
