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.
(A) Front base (Movable shoe)
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)

Change of chip discharge direction
► Fig.11: 1. Stopper 2. Chip discharge opening
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.

Dust bag (accessory)
► Fig.13: 1. Dust bag 2. Chip discharge opening
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 adher-
ing to the insides which might hamper further collection.

NOTE:
• If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this
tool, more efficient and cleaner operations can
be performed.
Connecting a vacuum cleaner
► Fig.15: 1. Vacuum cleaner
When you wish to perform clean planing operation, connect a
Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Then connect a hose of the vac-
uum cleaner to the chip discharge opening as shown in the figures.

Elbow (optional accessory)
► Fig.16: 1. Elbow
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 dis-
charge 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.17: 1. Start 2. End
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.
9 ENGLISH
Although this side view cannot
show it, the edges of the blades
run perfectly parallel to the rear
base surface.
Cause: One or both blades fails to
have edge parallel to rear
base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
fails to protrude enough in
relation to rear base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
protrudes too far in relation
to rear base line.
