Battery protection system (Battery
cartridge with a star mark)
► Fig.3: 1. Star mark
The battery cartridge with a star mark is equipped with
the protection system, which automatically cuts off the
output power for its long service life.
The tool stops during operation when the tool and/or
battery are placed under the following situation. This is
caused by the activation of protection system and does
not show the tool trouble.
• When the tool is overloaded:
At this time, release the switch trigger,
remove the battery cartridge and remove
causes of overload and then pull the switch
trigger again to restart.
• When battery cells get hot:
If any operation of the switch trigger, the
motor will remain stopped. At this time, stop
use of the tool and cool or charge the battery
cartridge after removing it from the tool.
• When the remaining battery capacity gets low:
If any operation of the switch trigger, the
motor will remain stopped. At this time,
remove the battery cartridge from the tool
and charge it .
Adjusting depth of cut
► Fig.4: 1. Pointer 2. Knob
Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the
knob on the front of the tool so that the pointer points
the desired depth of cut.
Switch action
► Fig.5: 1. Lock-off lever 2. Switch trigger
CAUTION:
• Before installing the battery cartridge into the
tool, always check to see that the switch trigger
actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
• Do not pull the switch trigger hard without press-
ing the lock-off lever. This can cause switch
breakage.
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, slide
the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. Release the
switch trigger to stop.
WARNING:
• For your safety, this tool is equipped with lock-
off lever which prevents the tool from unin-
tended starting. NEVER use the tool if it runs
when you simply pull the switch trigger without
pressing the lock-off lever. Return tool a MAKITA
service center for proper repairs BEFORE fur-
ther usage.
• NEVER tape down or defeat purpose and func-
tion of lock-off lever.
Foot
► Fig.6: 1. Planer blade 2. Rear base 3. Foot
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
the battery cartridge is removed 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.

To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the instal-
lation 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 sim-
ply 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.
Repeat the above procedures for the other blade.
