Using the Makita XPK01Z planer is a breeze. First, make sure the battery is fully charged. Insert the battery into the planer until you hear a click to indicate it's properly installed. Adjust the planing depth using the click depth adjustment knob according to your needs. Place the planer on the workpiece, hold it firmly with the rubberized soft grips on the front and rear handles. Then, turn on the planer and slowly guide it along the surface. When you're done, turn off the planer and remove the battery. For safety, always wear appropriate protective gear like safety glasses and ear protection. Keep your fingers away from the blades. Don't use the planer on wet or damaged workpieces. To maintain your planer, clean the blades regularly with a brush to remove debris. Check the blade set for any signs of wear and replace them if necessary. Store the planer in a dry place and keep the battery in a cool environment when not in use.
