becomes poor. Check the tool after every 4 or 5 hours of

use.

If the wheel and base surfaces are not aligned, loosen two

hex socket head bolts securing the base. Turn three hex

socket head bolts on the base clockwise and adjust the

base so as to be level with the wheel surface. Retighten

firmly the hex socket head bolts securing base and then

lightly turn the hex socket head bolts counterclockwise so

that the hex socket head bolts do not come loose during

operation.

Dust cover adjustment (Fig. 8)

Loosen the screw. and adjust the dust cover’s brush level.

The dust cover’s brush should be either flush with the

diamond wheel surface or very slightly above (when tool

is inverted) 0.5 mm. Suction/pickup will be poor if they are

not approximately on the same level. After adjusting, be

sure to tighten the screw firmly.

To adjust the dust cover, grip it on the outside; turn

clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing diamond wheel

(Fig. 9)

To replace a worn diamond wheel with a new one, press

in the shaft lock to hold the shaft steady, then loosen the

lock nut counterclockwise with the lock nut wrench

provided.

Remove the worn diamond wheel.

To install a new one, follow the above removal procedure

in reverse.

When installing a diamond wheel, always make sure to

tighten the lock nut firmly.

NOTE:

• The ordinary diamond wheels on the market have no

exhaust holes, so dust evacuation is poor. Also, if the

installing hole is not of the exact diameter, tool vibration

occurs and accidents can occur. ALWAYS USE A

MAKITA OFFSET DIAMOND WHEEL.

Replacing dust cover’s brush (Fig. 10)

To remove the dust cover’s brush from the dust cover,

grab an end of the dust cover’s brush and take it out

slowly outward. (Fig. 11)

To install a dust cover’s brush, put the outer edge of the

dust cover’s brush in the groove in the dust cover.

(Fig. 12)

And then expand the groove. With the groove being

expanded, insert the inner edge of the dust cover’s brush.

Repeat this action and insert all the remaining part.

Dust bag (Fig. 13)

To install dust bag, slip onto dust port. Always make sure

to slip onto dust port all the way until it stops so that it

does not come off during operation.

Remove dust bag when it begins to touch cutting surface.

This is a sign that it is full. Failure to empty bag will lead to

poor suction/pickup.

Connecting a vacuum cleaner (Fig. 14)

When you wish to perform clean planing operation,

connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool as shown in

the figure.

OPERATION (Fig. 15)

Always use the top grip (auxiliary handle) and firmly hold

the tool by top grip and switch handle during operations.

Planing in corners

For PC5000C

Flush planing of corners is possible after first removing

the dust cover cap.

For PC5001C only (Fig. 16)

Before performing the flush planing of corners, remove

the hex bolt which secures roller holder and base holder

and then take away the whole roller holder.

Next, loosen the hex socket head bolt and take away the

dust cover cap and then adjust the dust cover in a proper

position according to your work. (Fig. 17)

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 18)

Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace

when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep the carbon

brushes clean and free to slip in the holders. Both carbon

brushes should be replaced at the same time. Use only

identical carbon brushes.

Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take

out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and

secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 19)

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,

any other maintenance or adjustment should be

performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
