10OPERATIONHold the tool firmly with one hand on the knob and theother hand on the switch handle when performing the tool.Planing operationFig.16First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiecesurface without the blades making any contact. Switchon and wait until the blades attain full speed. Thenmove the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on thefront of tool at the start of planing, and at the back at theend of planing. Planing will be easier if you incline theworkpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can planesomewhat downhill.The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish.The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will notresult in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depthof cut can be increased, while for a good finish youshould reduce the depth of cut and advance the toolmore slowly.Shiplapping (Rabbeting)Fig.17To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use theedge fence (guide rule).Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide(accessory).Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edgefence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align theblade edge with the cutting line.Fig.18Install the edge fence on the tool and secure it with thewasher and thumb screw (A). Loosen the thumb screw(B) and adjust the edge fence until it comes in contactwith the side of the workpiece. Then tighten the thumbscrew (B) securely.Fig.19When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flushwith the side of the workpiece. Otherwise unevenplaning may result.CAUTION:• The blade edge should be made to protrudeoutside slightly (0.2 mm - 0.4 mm) for shiplapping.Fig.20You may wish to add to the length of the fence byattaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes areprovided in the fence for this purpose, and also forattaching an extension guide (optional accessory).Fig.21ChamferingFig.22To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, alignone of three "V" grooves in the front base with the edgeof the workpiece and plane it.Fig.23Use of chamfering rule (optional accessory) assuresmore tool stability when shiplapping.Fig.24To install the chamfering rule, remove two screws onboth sides of the front of the tool and set the depth ofcut to 4 mm. And then install it on the front base of thetool and secure it the screws as shown in the figure.When doing a great amount of chamfering, place an edgeof chamfering rule so that it contacts workpiece and makemany passes of planing as shown in the figure.Fig.25MAINTENANCECAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before attempting to perform inspectionor maintenance.• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol orthe like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks mayresult.Sharpening the planer bladesFor standard blades onlyAlways keep your blades sharp for the bestperformance possible. Use the sharpening holder toremove nicks and produce a fine edge.Fig.26First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insertthe blades (A) and (B), so that they contact the sides(C) and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts.Fig.27Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2 or 3 minutesbefore sharpening. Hold the holder so that the bothblades contact the dressing stone for simultaneoussharpening at the same angle.Fig.28Replacing carbon brushesFig.29Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keepthe carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the sametime. Use only identical carbon brushes.Use a screwdriver to remove the rear cover.Fig.30Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new onesand secure the rear cover.Fig.31To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,any other maintenance or adjustment should beperformed by Makita Authorized Service Centers,always using Makita replacement parts.
