FAQs

What type of battery does the DPJ180Z use?

The DPJ180Z uses an 18V Makita LXT Lithium-Ion battery. Note: Battery is not included.

Does the tool come with a charger?

No, the tool is a 'Body Only' machine, meaning the battery and charger are sold separately.

How do I change the blade?

Use the shaft lock to secure the blade and open the blade cover. Use appropriate tools to remove and replace the blade. Ensure the cover is securely closed afterwards.

What biscuit sizes can I use with this jointer?

The jointer has preset cutting depths for #0, #10, and #20 biscuits, which cover most common sizes.

How do I adjust the fence?

Loosen the cam locks to adjust the fence to the desired angle. The fence has positive stops at 0°, 45°, and 90° for precise alignment.

What is the electronic current limiter?

The electronic current limiter prevents the tool from overloading by cutting off power if the current draw is too high. This helps protect the motor.

How do I connect a dust extraction system?

Connect the dust extraction hose to the rotatable dust nozzle located on the tool.

Troubleshooting

Jointer doesn't start.

Check if the battery is correctly inserted and charged. If the tool still does not start, ensure the battery contacts are clean.

Poor cutting performance.

Check the blade for damage or dullness and replace if necessary. Ensure the workpiece is stable during the cutting process.

Dust extraction is not working efficiently.

Check the dust extraction port and hose for blockages. Ensure the dust extraction system is properly connected.

The tool stops unexpectedly.

The electronic current limiter might have activated. Reduce the cutting depth and ensure the tool is not overloaded. Let the tool cool down and try again.
