Dust bag (accessory) (Fig. 12)

For tool without nozzle

accessory). Attach the dust bag onto the nozzle. The

nozzle is tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it

onto the nozzle firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from

coming off during operation.

tapered. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the

nozzle firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from coming

off during operation. (Fig. 13)

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

adhering 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. 14)

When you wish to perform clean planing operation,

connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Before

connecting the vacuum cleaner, remove the chip cover

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. 16)

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.

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.

Shiplapping (Rabbeting) (Fig. 17)

To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the

edge fence (guide rule) which is obtained as accessory.

(Fig. 18)

Correct setting Although this side view cannot show it, the

edges of the blades run perfectly parallel to

the rear base surface.

Nicks in surface Cause: One or both blades fails to have edge

parallel to rear base line.

Gouging at start Cause: One or both blade edges fails to

protrude enough in relation to rear

base line.

Gouging at end Cause: One or both blade edges protrudes

too far in relation to rear base line.
