FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

Installing or removing battery cartridge

•  Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge.
•  To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while pressing the buttons on both sides of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

ASSEMBLY

Removing or installing planer blades

• 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 over tightening or insufficient tightening of the installation bolts. This could cause an injury. To remove the blades, first loosen the two installation bolts one turn counterclockwise with the hex wrench.

Blade height adjustment
Blade height adjustment is usually not necessary. However, if you notice that the blade edge is below the level of the rear base or protrudes too far from the rear base, proceed as follows. Loosen the two installation bolts. Turn the pan head screws clockwise to retract the blade or counterclockwise to protrude it. After adjusting the blade height, tighten the two installation bolts securely

Edge fence (Guide rule)
Use the edge fence when shiplapping (rabbeting) or cutting workpieces nearly 50 mm wide. Install the edge fence on the tool and secure it with the washer and thumb screw (A). Loosen the thumb screw (B) and adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the side of the workpiece. Then tighten the thumb screw (B) securely

OPERATION

Planing operation
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece surface without the blades making any contact. Switch on and wait until the blades attain full speed. Then move the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of planing. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill. The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish. The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of cut can be increased, while for a good finish you should reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.

Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the edge fence (guide rule). Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Align the blade edge with the cutting line. Then adjust the edge fence as explained in the “Edge fence” section. When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result. Maximum shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 15 mm.

Chamfering
To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, align the “V” groove in the front base with the edge of the workpiece and plane it. It chamfers up to 5.6 mm in a single pass.
