User manual MAKITA 1923

[. . . ] 9 kg • Due to the continuing program of research and development, the specifications herein are subject to change without prior notice. €¢ Note: Specifications may differ from country to country. Power supply The machine should be connected only to a power supply of the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are double-insulated in accordance with European Standard and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without earth wire. [. . . ] Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor planing action and, eventually, machine 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 adjust plate on the blade, then simply press in the heel of the adjust plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten two screws on the adjust plate. Now slip the heel of the adjust plate into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it. Tighten the three installation bolts evenly and alternately with the socket wrench. Remove the existing blade, if the machine 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. It is important that the blade sits flush with the inside flank of the gauge plate, the planer blade locating lugs sit in the blade groove and the heel of the adjust plate is flush with the back side of the gauge base. The blade will be positioned by the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate. The blade’s lengthwise adjustment will need to be manually positioned so that the blade ends are clear and equidistant from the housing on one side and the metal bracket on the other. CAUTION: Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attaching the blades to the machine. 15) For the correct planer blade setting Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and securely. The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base. Cause: One or both blades fails to have edge parallel to rear base line. Nicks in surface Gouging at start Cause: One or both blade edges fails to protrude enough in relation to rear base line. Gouging at end Cause: One or both blade edges protrudes too far in relation to rear base line. 8) Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the knob on the front of the machine. Apply pressure on the front of machine at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of planing. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill. The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. [. . . ] To maintain product safety and reliability, repairs, maintenance or adjustment should be carried out by Makita Authorized Service Center. 19 & 20) Use of the special nozzle assembly will minimize chip scatter, making for a cleaner work area. The nozzle assembly may be attached after the chip cover on the machine body is removed. When slipping on the assembly, fit the pin on it into the rear cover hole. [. . . ]
