Makita KP312 12-1/4 Planer, 15 AMP

Using the Makita KP312 planer is easy. First, make sure you've got all the included tools like the wrench, triangular rule, and blade set handy. Adjust the depth setting using the large, conveniently located knob according to your woodworking needs. When you start planing, hold the tool firmly with the rubberized front handle for better control. The front roller will help you move the planer smoothly over rough materials. As you work, the large ejection chute will discharge wood chips efficiently, reducing the risk of clogging. The 33 - ft cord is placed well to avoid getting in the way during long passes. For safety, always keep the spring - loaded stand in place to protect the blades and your workpiece. When it comes to maintenance, check the externally accessible brushes regularly and replace them if needed. The all - ball bearing construction means less wear and tear, but a little lubrication from time to time can keep the tool running smoothly for a long time. And don't forget to use the guide rule for accurate planing.
