User manual MAKITA KP0810C

[. . . ] Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation. Power supply ENF002-1 The tool 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. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade. [. . . ] Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. For tool with lock button To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button from either side. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch trigger fully, then release it. For tool with lock-off button To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, depress the lock-off button from either side and pull the switch trigger. To install the blades, loosely attach the adjusting plate to the set plate with the pan head screws and set the mini planer blade on the gauge base so that the cutting edge of the blade is perfectly flush with the inside flank of the gauge plate. Set the adjusting plate/set plate on the gauge base so that the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate rest in the mini planer blade groove, then press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten the pan head screws. 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. Set the drum cover over the adjusting plate/set plate and screw in the three hex flange head bolts so that a gap exists between the drum and the set plate to slide (A) Front base (Movable shoe) (B) Rear base (Stationary shoe) Correct setting 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. Tighten the three hex flange head bolts (with the socket wrench provided) and rotate the drum to check clearances between the blade ends and the tool body. 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. Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the blades run perfectly parallel to the rear base surface. Cause: One or both blade edges fails to protrude enough in relation to rear base line. Cause: One or both blade edges protrudes too far in relation to rear base line. To change the direction, pull out the stopper while turning it slightly backward and fit in it in one of two openings on the opposite side of chip discharge so that the recessed part fits to protrusion. If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to this tool, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed. When attaching the dust bag, push it onto the chip discharge opening firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from coming off during operation. When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove particles 8 When you wish to perform clean planing operation, connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Then connect a hose of the vacuum cleaner to the chip discharge opening as shown in the figures.
