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 tight-
ened securely.
• Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or rags to
protect your fingers or hands when removing or install-
ing the blades.
• Use only the Makita wrench provided to remove or
install the blades. Failure to do so may result in over-
tightening or insufficient tightening of the installation
bolts. This could cause an injury.
For tool with standard planer blades
(Fig. 4, 5 & 6)
To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the installa-
tion bolts with the socket wrench. The drum cover comes
off together with the blades.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of the
same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/vibra-
tion will result, causing poor planing action and, eventu-
ally, tool breakdown.

Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade
edge is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the gauge
plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply
press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back
side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on the
adjusting plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate
into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it.
Tighten the three installation bolts evenly and alternately
with the socket wrench.
For tool with mini planer blades (Fig. 7, 8 & 9)
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.
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 plate to
slide the mini planer blade into position. The blade
will be positioned by the planer blade locating lugs
on the set plate.
7. The blade's lengthwise adjustment will need to be
manually positioned so that the blade ends are clear
and equidistant from the housing on one side and
the metal bracket on the other.
8. Tighten the three hex flange head bolts (with the
socket wrench provided) and rotate the drum to
check clearances between the blade ends and the
tool body.
9. Check the three hex flange head bolts for final tight-
ness.
10. Repeat procedures 1 – 9 for other blade.
