ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
2. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
3. Handle the blades very carefully.
4. Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely
tightened before operation.
5. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
6. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
7. 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.
8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
9. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cut-
ting.

come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
12. Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Chute
may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean out
chips with a stick.
13. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
14. 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.
15. Always change both blades or covers on the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Removing or installing planer blades
(Fig. 1, 2 & 3)
Important:
• Always be sure that tool is switched off and unplugged
before removing or installing the blade.
• Use the following planer blades.
Part Nos. 793186-4
*P-04254
Blades with * mark are available in European countries
only. Consult your dealer or the Makita Service Center
when purchasing blades.
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 the five installation bolts evenly
and alternately with the hex wrench.
After tightening the bolts, secure the adjusting screws
fully.
CAUTION:
Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attach-
ing the blades to the tool. A loose installation bolt can be
dangerous. Always check to see they are tightened
securely.
