Makita 1002BA 4-3/8 Curved Base Planer

Using the Makita 1002BA planer is easy. First, make sure you've got all the included tools like the sharpening holder, blade gauge, wrench, and blade set. Plug in the planer and hold it firmly with both hands using the front and rear grips. Press the lock - on button if you need continuous operation. Start the planer and slowly move it over the wood surface to smooth it or notch out the logs as needed. When using it for notching, adjust the bevel radius according to your project requirements. As for maintenance, keep the blade sharp by using the sharpening holder regularly. After each use, clean the large ejection chute to prevent chip build - up. Also, store the planer in a dry place to avoid damage. Always wear safety goggles and appropriate protective gear when operating the planer to stay safe.
