The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard

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.
