pletely before adjusting depth of cut.
Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the

Switch action
WARNING:
Before installing the battery car-
tridge into the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to
the "OFF" position when released.
WARNING:
NEVER defeat the lock-off button
by taping down or some other means. A switch with
a negated lock-off button may result in unintentional
operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
NEVER use the tool if it runs when
you simply pull the switch trigger without press-
ing the lock-off button. A switch in need of repair
may result in unintentional operation and serious
personal injury. Return tool to a Makita service center
for proper repairs BEFORE further usage.
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.

NOTICE:
Do not pull the switch trigger hard
without pressing in the lock-off button. This can
cause switch breakage.
Automatic speed change function
This tool has "high speed mode" and "high torque
mode".
The tool automatically changes the operation mode
depending on the work load. When the work load is low,
the tool will run in the "high speed mode" for quicker
cutting operation. When the work load is high, the tool
will run in the "high torque mode" for powerful cutting
operation.
► Fig.6: 1. Mode indicator
The mode indicator lights up in green when the tool is
running in "high torque mode".
If the tool is operated with excessive load, the mode
indicator will blink in green. The mode indicator stops
blinking and then lights up or turns off if you reduce the
load on the tool.

On
Foot
After a cutting operation, raise the backside of the tool
and a foot comes under the level of the rear base. This
prevents the planer blades to be damaged.

Removing or installing planer
blades
CAUTION:
Tighten the blade installation bolts
carefully when attaching the blades to the tool.
Always check to see they are tightened securely.
A loose installation bolt can be dangerous.
CAUTION:
Handle the blades very carefully.
Use gloves or rags to protect your fingers or
hands when removing or installing the blades.
CAUTION:
Use only the Makita wrench pro-
vided to remove or install the blades. Failure to do
so may result in overtightening or insufficient tighten-
ing of the installation bolts. This could cause an injury.
NOTICE:
To install planer blades, clean out all
chips or foreign matter adhering to the drum or
the planer blades. Use planer blades of the same
dimensions and weight, otherwise drum oscilla-
tion/vibration, causing poor planing action, and
tool breakdown will result.
