A nozzle and joint (optional accessories) are necessary
to connect a Makita vacuum cleaner to your tool. Consult
a Makita catalogue or representative on the nozzle and
joint.
Nozzle assembly (optional accessory)

002570
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 tool body is removed. When slipping on the
assembly, fit the pin on it into the rear cover hole. Use the
chip cover screws to fasten it in place.

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 stationary 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.
Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
002580
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the
edge fence (guide rule).
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge
fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the blade
edge with the cutting line.
