Planing operation (Fig. 8)
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece sur-
face 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 sta-
tionary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat down-
hill. 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.
Chamfering (Fig. 9, 10 & 11)
To make a cut as shown in Fig. 9, align the "V" groove in
the front base with the edge of the workpiece and plane it
as shown in the Fig. 11.
Sharpening the planer blades (Fig. 12, 13 & 14)
Always keep your blades sharp for the best performance
possible. Use the sharpening holder to remove nicks and
produce a fine edge.
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.
Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2 or 3 minutes
before sharpening. Hold the holder so that the blades
both contact the dressing stone for simultaneous sharp-
ening at the same angle.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
For European countries and areas only
(Fig. 15 & 16)
When you wish to perform clean planing operation, con-
nect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Install the
nozzle assembly (standard equipment) on the tool using
the screws provided. Then connect a hose of the vacuum
cleaner to the nozzle assembly as shown in Fig. 16.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, mainte-
nance or adjustment should be carried out by a Makita
Authorized Service Center.
