1. Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
3. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.
4. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.
5. Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.
9. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
10. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
11. Keep at least 200mm away from the tool at all times.

12. Always switch off and wait for the blades to come to a complete stop before any adjusting.

13. Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Chute may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean out chips with a stick.

14. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
15. When leaving the planer, switch off and set it with the front base up on a wooden block, so that the blades do not contact anything.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing or removing battery cartridge (Fig.1)

• 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.

Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 2 & 3)

The depth of cut can be adjusted in 0.1 mm increments within a range of 0 - 0.5 mm. Turn the knob on the front of the tool until the pointer is aligned with the desired cutting depth on the scale.

CAUTION:

The knob can be turned beyond the 0.5 mm graduation. However, do not operate the tool with a depth of cut more than 0.5 mm. The motor may be burned out or the battery cartridge may be damaged.

Switch action (Fig. 4)

CAUTION:

Before inserting the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.

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.

Planing operation (Fig. 5)

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 which is suitably clamped, 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 ensures that wood chips do not cause the planer to jam. 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.

Edge fence (Guide rule) (Fig. 6)

Use the edge fence when shiplapping (rabbeting) or cutting workpieces nearly 50mm 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.

You may wish to add to the length of the fence by attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes are provided in the fence for this purpose. (Fig.7)

Shiplapping (Rabbeting)

To make a stepped cut as shown in Fig. 8, use the edge fence (guide rule).

Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Align the blade edge with the cutting line. (Fig. 9)

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.

Max. shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 15 mm.

CAUTION:

Before shiplapping, adjust the blade so that the end protrudes slightly from the side of the drum.

Chamfering (Fig. 10, 11 & 12)

To make a cut as shown in Fig. 10, align the "V" groove in the front base with the edge of the workpiece and plane it as shown in Fig. 12. It chamfers up to 5.6 mm in a single pass.

Dust bag (Fig.13 & 14)

Install the dust bag on the nozzle of the tool. When installing it, push the bag's entry port toward the nozzle as far as it will go to prevent it from comming off during operation.

For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes about half full. Remove the dust bag from the tool and pull out the fastener.

NOTE:

If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner Model 406 to this tool, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.

Removing or installing planer blades

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before removing or installing the blades.
• Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or rags to protect your fingers or hands when removing or installing the blades.

To remove the blades, first loosen the two installation bolts one turn counterclockwise with the hex wrench provided. (Fig.15)

Push the blade from the belt side with the hex wrench.

(Fig. 16)

Remove the other blade in the same manner.

To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the drum or blades. Insert the blade between the drum and the drum cover from the side opposite the belt so that the blade end will protrude slightly from the side of the drum. Tighten the two installation bolts securely with the hex wrench provided.

(Fig. 17)

CAUTION:

Use only the Makita hex 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.

Blade height adjustment (Fig. 18)

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.

Hex wrench storage (Fig. 19)

When not in use, the hex wrench can be conveniently stored as shown in Fig. 19.
