Save all warnings and instruc-
tions 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
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the
1.
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 sur-
2.
faces, 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.
3. 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.
4. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very
6.
carefully.
7. Be sure the blade installation bolts are
securely tightened before operation.
8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. 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
11.
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
12. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
13. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
14. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood.
Clean out chips with a stick.
15. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
16. Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten tool life.
17. Use only Makita blades specified in this manual.
18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.

► Fig.1: 1. Knob 2. Scale plate
The depth of cut can be adjusted within a range of 0 - 3.5
mm. Turn the knob on the front of the tool until the pointer
is aligned with the desired cutting depth on the scale. Set
the depth of a cut observing the maximum depth which is
limited by width according to the following table.
Corelation of width of cut and maximun depth of cut
Width of cut
0 - 150 mm
150 - 240 mm
240 - 312 mm
Switch action
► Fig.2: 1. Switch trigger 2. Lock button / Lock-off

CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
For tool with lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop. For continous operation, pull the trigger
and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from
the locked position, pill the trigger fully, then release it.
For tool with lock-off button
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-
off button is provided. To start the tool, press the lock-off
button and pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop.
Overload protecter (Option)
This tool is equipped with an overload protector which auto-
matically cuts out to break the circuit whenever heavy work is
prolonged. When it cuts out, inspect the blade for damage or
something wrong. After making sure that there is nothing wrong
with the tool, push the restart button to resume operation.
Edge fence (Guide rule)
► Fig.3: 1. Pins 2. Edge fence (Guide rule)
Edge fence is useful for minimizing a short run of cut by
cutting in a uniform width. The edge fence (guide rule )
is provided on the side of the tool. Press two pins for the
edge fence (guide rule) so that the edge fence appears.
Move the tool forward while keeping the flat surface of
the edge fence in contact with the side of the workpiece.
To return the edge fence to an original position, push it
upwards from its underside.
