GENERAL SAFETY RULES

(For All Battery Operated Tools)

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work Area

1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

2.Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

4.A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

5.Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Personal Safety

6.Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

7.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

8.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is inthe locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

9.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

10.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

11.Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

3

Tool Use and Care

12.Use clamps or other practical way t o secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

13.Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

14.Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A toot. that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

15.Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

16.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

17.When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns, or a fire.

18.Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

19.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

20.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

Service

21.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

22.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

4

1.Be aware that this tool is always in an operating condition, because it does not have t o be plugged into an electrical outlet.

2.Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.

3.Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation.

4.Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.

5.Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation.

6.Hold the tool firmly with both hands.

7.Keep hands away from rotating parts.

8.Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade.

FUNCTIONALDESCRIPTION

Installingor removingbattery cartridge

*Always switch off the tool before inser- tion or removal of the battery cartridge.

*To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while pressingthe buttons on both sides of the cartridge.

*To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, caus- ing injury to you or someone around you.

*Do not use force when inserting the battely cartridge. If the cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.

Charging

*Your new battery cartridge is not charged. You will need to charge it before use. Use the high capacity battery charger Model DC1411to charge the battery cartridge.

*Plug the high capacity battery charger into the proper A.C. voltage source. The charg- ing light will flash in green color.

*Insert the battely cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battely cartridge are on the same sides as their respective markings on the high capacity battery charger. Insert the cartridge fully

into the port so that it rests on the charger p'Cirt floor.

*When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging.

*When the charging light color changes from red to green, the charging cycle is complete.

*If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the

charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenance charge)" mode which will last approximatel y 24 hours.

*After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.

9

CAUTION:

*The high capacity battery charger Model DC1411 is for charging Makita battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer's batteries.

*When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completelyand recharging a couple of times.

*If you charge a battery cartridge from a just-operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in a locationexposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the high capacity battery charger.

*If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, a problem exists and charg- ing is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.

*If you wish to charge two battery cartridge, allow 15 minutes between charging on the high capacity battery charger.

Trickle charge (Maintenance charge)

If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will switch into its "trickle charge (maintenancecharge)" mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.

Tips for maintaining maximum battery life

1.Charge the battery cartridge before completelydischarged.

Always stop tool operation and charge the battery cartridge when you notice less tool power.

2.Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.

3.Charge the battery cartridge with room temperature at 10??C - 40??C (50??F- 104??F). Let a hot battery cartridge,cooldown before charging it.

4.Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when you do not use it for more than six months.

Shiplapping (Rabbeting)

To make a stepped cut as shown in Fig., use the edge fence (guide rule).

Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Align the blade edge with the cutting line.

Then adjust the edge fence as explained in the "Edge fence" section. When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result. Max. shiplap- ping (rabbeting) depth is 15 mm (9/16").

CAUTION:

Before shiplapping, make sure that the blade end protrudes slightly from the side

of the drum.Blade edge 'ILSide of drum

ASSEMBLY

Dust bag

Installthe dust bag on the nozzle of the tool. When installing it, push the bag's entry port toward the nozzle as far as it will go to prevent it from coming off during operation.

For the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes about half full. Remove the dust bag from the tool and pull out the fastener.

NOTE:

If you connect a Makita vacuum cleaner Model 406 to this tool, more efficient and cleaner operations can be performed.

Removingor installing planer blades

CAUTION:

*Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battety cartridge is removed before removing or installing the blades.

*Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or rags to protect your fingers or hands when removing or installing the blades.

To remove the blades, first loosen the two installation bolts one turn counterclockwise with the hex wrench provide.

Push the blade from the belt side with the hex wrench. Remove the other blade in the same manner.

14

CAUTION:

Use only the Makita hex wrench providedto remove or install the blades. Failure to do so may result in overtightening or insufficient tightening of the installation bolts. This could cause an injury.

Hex wrench storage

When not in use, the hex wrench can be convenientlystored.

15

OPERATION

Planing operation

First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece surface without the blades making any contact. Switch on and wait until the blades attain full speed. Then move the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front

of tool at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of planing. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece in sta- tionary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill. The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish. The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of cut can be increased, while for a good finish you should reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.

To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILIW, repairs, maintenanceor adjustment should be performed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centers, always using Makita replacement parts.
