Removing or installing planer blades
CAUTION:
Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when
•
attaching the blades to the tool. A loose installation
bolt can be dangerous. Always check to see they
are tightened securely.
Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or
•
rags to protect your fingers or hands when
removing or installing the blades.
Use only the Makita wrench provided to remove or
•
install the blades. Failure to do so may result in
overtightening or insufficient tightening of the

To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the
installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum cover
comes off together with the blades.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign
matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades of the
same dimensions
oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor planing
action and, eventually, tool breakdown.
Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade
edge is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the gauge
plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply
press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back
side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on the
adjusting plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate
into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it.
Tighten all the installation bolts evenly and alternately
with the socket wrench.
For tool with mini planer blades
1. Remove the existing blade, if the tool has been in
use, carefully clean the drum surfaces and the
drum cover. To remove the blades on the drum,
unscrew the three installation bolts with the socket
wrench. The drum cover comes off together with
the blades.
