Using the Makita 40V Max XGT planer is a breeze. First, charge the 40V max XGT® 4.0Ah battery using the rapid optimum charger. Once the battery is charged, attach it to the planer. You can use the click depth adjustment knob to set the planing depth according to your needs, with an easy - to - read scale from 0' to 5/32'. Start the planer and begin your woodworking project. If you have an AWS - equipped dust extractor and the AWS wireless transmitter (sold separately), connect them to enjoy automatic on - off functionality. When planing, keep the tool moving steadily over the wood surface for an even finish. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like goggles and ear protection. Avoid using the tool in wet or extremely dusty conditions, although it has good dust and water resistance. When not in use, store the tool in a dry place. To maintain the tool, regularly clean the cutter head and blade. You can use a brush to remove dust and debris. Check the battery regularly for any signs of damage. If you need to replace the blade, use the easy blade setting system for a quick change. The precision - machined aluminum base may need occasional cleaning to ensure high planing accuracy. With proper use and maintenance, your Makita planer will serve you well for a long time.
