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 (Fig. 4, 5 & 6)
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.
To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the five
installation bolts with the hex 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.
There are two adjusting screws for each blade. When
installing the blade, the notch in the blade should fit over
the head of the adjusting screw. Then fit on the drum
cover and secure the five bolts only finger-tight.
Turn the drum until the blade edge is right in the middle
between the front and rear bases.
Place the triangular rule flat on the rear base and run it
out over and across the blade edge. Turn the two adjust-
ing screws to adjust the blade protrusion. The blade set-
ting should be made so that the protrusion will be uniform
all the way across. Thus the triangular rule should be
flush with the entire width of the blade edge. After adjust-
ing both blades, tighten all the installation bolts evenly
and alternately with the hex wrench.
After tightening the bolts, secure the adjusting screws
fully.
