Installing the blades | Makita 2030S instruction

2.Installing the blades

Provide a flat wood block approx. 150 mm (5-29/32") long and 100 mm (3-15/16") wide. Place the blade and set plate on the wood block so that the blade locating lug of the set plate rests in the groove of the blade. Adjust the set plate so that both ends of the blade do not protrude from the ends of the set plate. Place the two magnetic holders on the set plate and push them until the claw contacts the blade. (Note: Use the correct claw for jointer.)

Lock the drum in the position whereby the blade installation bolts face upward. Place the set plate and blade on the drum so that the heads of the depth adjusting screws in the drum fit into the square holes in the set plate. Remove the magnetic holders while holding the set plate with your hand.

Place the drum plate on the set plate. Install the blade installation bolts and semi-tighen them.
