General power tool safety warnings
GEA010-2

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Planer Safety Warnings GEB167-1
- Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
- Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
-
Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
-
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.
- Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.
- Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation.
- Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
- Keep hands away from rotating parts.
- 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.
- Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
- Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
- Always switch off and wait for the blades to come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
- Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Chute may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean out chips with a stick.
- Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held.
- Always change both blades or covers on the drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause vibration and shorten tool life.
- Use only Makita blades specified in this manual.
- Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are working with.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Soft start
Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes the tool start smoothly.
Foot (Fig. 3)
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
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
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.
For tool with standard planer blades (Fig. 4 - 6)
To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the installation bolts with the socket 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/vibration will result, causing poor planing action and, eventually, tool breakdown.
Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade edge is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the gauge plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on the adjusting plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it.
Tighten all the installation bolts evenly and alternately with the socket wrench.
-
Remove the existing blade, if the tool has been in use, carefully clean the drum surfaces and the drum cover. To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the three installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum cover comes off together with the blades. (Fig. 7)
-
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. (Fig. 8)
-
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.
-
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.
-
Slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the groove of the drum.

(A) (B)- 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. (Fig. 9)
- 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.
- 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.
- Check the three hex flange head bolts for final tightness.
- Repeat procedures 1 - 9 for 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.
Nicks in surface Cause: One or both blades fails to have edge

edges of the blades run perfectly parallel to the rear base surface.
Gouging at start Cause: One or both blade edges fails to

EN0004-1
Change of chip discharge direction (Fig. 10)
Chip discharge direction can be changed to the right or left. To change the direction, pull out the stopper while turning it slightly backward and fit in it in one of two openings on the opposite side of chip discharge so that the recessed part fits to protrusion. (Fig. 11)
Dust bag (accessory) (Fig. 12)
Attach the dust bag onto the chip discharge opening. The chip discharge opening is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the chip discharge opening firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from coming off during operation.
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. (Fig. 13)
NOTE:
- If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 14)
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 chip discharge opening as shown in the figures.
Elbow (optional accessory) (Fig. 15)
Use of elbow allows change of chip discharge direction to perform cleaner work.
Install the elbow (optional accessory) on the tool by just slipping on it. To remove it, just pull it out.
Chip discharge opening cleaning
Clean the chip discharge opening regularly.
Use a compressed air to clean the clogged chip discharge opening.
OPERATION
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the knob and the other hand on the switch handle when performing the tool.
Planing operation (Fig. 16)
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) (Fig. 17)
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the edge fence (guide rule).
Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide (accessory).
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the blade edge with the cutting line. (Fig. 18)
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. (Fig. 19)
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result.
CAUTION:
- The blade edge should be made to protrude outside slightly (0.2 mm - 0.4 mm) for shiplapping. (Fig. 20)
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, and also for attaching an extension guide (optional accessory).
(Fig. 21)
Chamfering (Fig. 22)
To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, align one of three "V" grooves in the front base with the edge of the workpiece and plane it. (Fig. 23)
Use of chamfering rule (optional accessory) assures more tool stability when shiplapping. (Fig. 24)
To install the chamfering rule, remove two screws on both sides of the front of the tool and set the depth of cut to 4 mm. And then install it on the front base of the tool and secure it the screws as shown in the figure.
When doing a great amount of chamfering, place an edge of chamfering rule so that it contacts workpiece and make many passes of planing as shown in the figure. (Fig. 25)
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
- Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, carbon brush inspection and replacement, any other maintenance or adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
Sharpening the planer blades
For standard blades only
Always keep your blades sharp for the best performance possible. Use the sharpening holder to remove nicks and produce a fine edge. (Fig. 26)
First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insert the blades (A) and (B), so that they contact the sides (C) and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts. (Fig. 27)
Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2 or 3 minutes before sharpening. Hold the holder so that the both blades contact the dressing stone for simultaneous sharpening at the same angle. (Fig. 28)
