Installation; Functional Description - Makita 2012NB Betriebsanleitung

8. Remove nails and clean the workpiece before
cutting. Nail, sand or foreign matter can cause
blade damage.
9. Do not remove chips from the chip chute when
the motor is running. Clean out chips after the
blades come to a complete stop. Always use a
stick etc. when cleaning them out.
10. Do not leave the tool running.
11. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to discon-
nect it from receptacle. Keep cord away from
heat, oil water and sharp edges.
12. The tool should only be used for wood and simi-
lar materials.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruc-
tion manual may cause serious personal injury.

INSTALLATION

Movement and transport of thicknesser (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Watch your step when moving the tool.
Fold the sub-tables. Grasp the carrying handles when
moving the tool.
When transporting it by vehicle, secure with a rope or
other substantial means to prevent tipping or movement.
Positioning the thicknesser (Fig. 2)
Locate the tool in a well lit and level place where you can
maintain good footing and balance. Bolt/screw it to the
workbench or stand (optional accessory) using the bolt
holes provided in the base.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always be sure that the tool
is switched off. The pilot lamp lights up when the tool is
plugged into the power source.
To start the tool, press the ON (I) button. To stop it, press
the OFF (O) button.
Dimensional adjustment (Fig. 4)
Lower the main frame by turning the crank handle coun-
terclockwise until the indicator plate points to the scale
graduation indicating the desired finished dimension.
One full turn of the crank handle moves the main frame
2 mm up or down. The scale has inch graduations on its
right side and metric graduations on its left side.
Adjusting depth of cut
The maximum depth of cut differs depending upon the
width of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. When
you need to remove more than the amount specified in
the table, set the depth of cut shallower than the amount
and make two or more passes.
Width of workpiece
being cut
Less than 150 mm
150 mm – 240 mm
240 mm – 304 mm
To adjust the depth of cut, proceed as follows.
Insert the workpiece flat on the table top. Lower the main
frame by turning the crank handle counterclockwise. The
depth gauge will rise and the amount of gauge rise indi-
cates the depth of cut. (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
• Always lower the main frame when aligning the indica-
tor plate with the graduation indicating the desired fin-
ished dimension. If you raise the main frame into the
desired finished dimension, additional play in the screw
may result. This may cause an undesired finished
dimension.
• Always place the workpiece flat on the table top when
predetermining the depth of cut. Otherwise, the prede-
termined depth of cut will differ from actual depth of cut.
Depth adjusting gauge (Fig. 6)
Use the depth adjusting gauge when you need to prede-
termine the depth of cut more accurately. To do so, pro-
ceed as follows.
1. First, plane the workpiece at the predetermined
depth of cut. Measure the thickness of the planed
piece to know how much more stock you need to
remove.
2. Turn the depth adjusting gauge on the crank handle
until the 0 graduation is aligned with the groove on
the tool.
3. Now turn the crank handle counterclockwise until
the graduation for the desired depth of cut is aligned
with the groove on the tool.
4. When you need to remove more than the amount
specified in the table mentioned in the "Adjusting
depth of cut" section, set the depth of cut shallower
than the amount and make two or more passes.
Stopper (Fig. 7)
Use the stopper when you need to plane many work-
pieces to the same thickness. To do so, proceed as fol-
lows.
1. Turn the crank handle until the indicator plate points
to the scale graduation indicating the desired fin-
ished dimension.
2. Depress the stopper button and lower the stopper
until it just contacts the table top.
3. If you need fine adjustment of the stopper, turn the
stopper knob.
CAUTION:
• When the stopper is not in use, always raise it to the
topmost position. Never force the crank handle when
the stopper is in contact with the table top. This may
cause tool damage.
