Makita 1001 Planer User Manual


 
Removing or installing planer blades
WARNING
:
Always be sure that the tool
is
switched off and unplugged before removing or installing
the blades.
To remove the blades on the drum, un-
screw the three 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 and weight, or drum oscilla-
tionhibration will result, causing poor
planing action and, eventually, tool break-
down.
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 the
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 the three in-
stallation bolts evenly and alternately with
the socket wrench.

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.
