Using the Makita GPK01M1 planer is straightforward. First, make sure the 40V XGT 4.0Ah battery is fully charged and inserted into the tool. Adjust the depth of the planing using the click - depth adjustment knob with the easy - to - read scale. You can set it anywhere from 0” to 5/32”. If you want to use the Auto - Start Wireless System (AWS®), connect the AWS Wireless Transmitter (sold separately) and pair it with your dust extractor via Bluetooth. When you start the planer, the dust extractor will turn on automatically. Start planing by moving the tool steadily over the workpiece. You can direct the chip ejection to either side for your convenience. When you're done, turn off the tool. Remember to store the tool in a dry place. If you notice the blades getting dull, use the easy blade setting system to replace them. Also, clean the tool regularly to keep it in good condition. And don't forget to charge the battery properly using the XGT® Rapid Optimum Charger to ensure long - lasting performance.
