MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
the battery cartridge is removed before attempt-
ing 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.25: 1. Sharpening holder
Always keep your blades sharp for the best perfor-
mance possible. Use the sharpening holder (optional
accessory) to remove nicks and produce a fine edge.
► Fig.26: 1. Wing nut 2. Blade (A) 3. Blade (B) 4. Side
(D) 5. Side (C)
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.27
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.28: 1. Limit mark
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.29: 1. Brush holder cap 2. Screwdriver
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 per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.
