Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge
fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the blade
edge with the cutting line.

(Fig. 19)

Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the
side of the workpiece, then secure it by tightening the
screw.

(Fig. 20)

When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush
with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing
may result.
Maximum shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 9 mm.

(Fig. 21)

You may wish to add to the length of the fence by
attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes are
provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for
attaching an extension guide (optional accessory).

Chamfering (Fig. 22 & 23)

To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, align the
“V” groove in the front base with the edge of the
workpiece and plane it.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the

battery cartridge is removed before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.

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

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

Sharpening the planer blades

For conventional blades only (Fig. 24)

Always keep your blades sharp for the best performance
possible. Use the sharpening holder (optional accessory)
to remove nicks and produce a fine edge.

(Fig. 25)

First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insert
the blades (A) and (B), so that they contact the sides (C)
and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts.

(Fig. 26)

Immerse the dressing stone in water for 2 or 3 minutes
before sharpening. Hold the holder so that the both blades
contact the dressing stone for simultaneous sharpening at
the same angle.

Replacing carbon brushes (Fig. 27)

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.

(Fig. 28 & 29)

Use a screwdriver to remove the chip cover or nozzle.

(Fig. 30)

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.
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.
