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. (Fig. 9)
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.

Dust bag (accessory) (Fig. 10)
For tool without nozzle
Remove the chip cover and install the nozzle (optional
accessory). Attach the dust bag onto the nozzle. The
nozzle is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it
onto the nozzle firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from
coming off during operation.
For tool with nozzle
Attach the dust bag onto the nozzle. The nozzle is
tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the
nozzle firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from coming
off during operation. (Fig. 11)
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag
from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag
of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles
adhering to the insides which might hamper further
collection.

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
tightness.
10. Repeat procedures 1 - 9 for the other blade.
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.
Refer to some examples below for proper and improper
settings.

NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be
performed.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 12)
For tool without nozzle
When you wish to perform clean planing operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Then
connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the nozzle
(optional accessory) as shown in the figures.
For tool with nozzle
When you wish to perform clean planing operation,
connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Then
connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the nozzle as
shown in the figures.
Elbow (optional accessory) (Fig. 13)
Use of elbow allows change of chip discharge direction to
perform cleaner work.
Although this side view cannot show it, the
edges of the blades run perfectly parallel to
the rear base surface.
Cause: One or both blades fails to have edge
parallel to rear base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges fails to
protrude enough in relation to rear
base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges protrudes
too far in relation to rear base line.
