[. . . ] At this time, remove the battery cartridge from the tool and charge it. 3) Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the knob on the front of the tool so that the pointer points the desired depth of cut. 4) CAUTION: • Before installing the battery cartridge into the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the “OFF” position when released. €¢ Do not pull the switch trigger hard without pressing the lock-off lever. To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off lever is provided. To start the tool, slide the lock-off lever and pull the switch trigger. WARNING: • For your safety, this tool is equipped with lock-off lever which prevents the tool from unintended starting.

Same dimensions and weight, or drum 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. 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. 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 adjusting 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. [. . . ] 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. €¢ The declared vibration emission value has been measured in accordance with the standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. €¢ The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
