Makita 2030S instruction manual Beveling, Replacing the Planer Blades

Beveling

To cut a bevel, set the fence a t the required angle and run the workpiece across the blades while keeping it firmly against the fence and tables. Carefully maintain flush, steady con- tact with the fence while making the cut.

REPLACING THE PLANER BLADES

Dull blades can cause a rough finish, an overload of the motor and dangerous kickback of the workpiece. Sharpen or replace dull blades immediately. This tool is equipped with either throw-away blades or standard blades. The method of replacing the blades differs depending upon the type of the blade. Follow the correct method for your tool.

CAUTION :

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

0 Handle the blades very carefully when removing or installing the blades to prevent cuts or injury from the blades and to prevent damage to the blades. They are razor-sharp.

0 Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter adhering to the drum or blades before installing the blades.

0 Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor cutting action and, eventually, tool breakdown.

Replace both blades a t the same time.

.The throw-away blade has a cutting edge on both sides. When one cutting edge becomes dull, you can use the other cutting edge. Always remove resin and dirt sticking to the reverse side of the blade before using the other cutting edge. This blade must not be re- sharpened. When both cutting edges become dull, the blade should be carefully thrown away.
