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.
ASSEMBLY

•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before carrying
out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing mini 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 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.

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.
