This document describes the Makita BKP180 (LXPK01) 18V Cordless Planer, an 82mm (3-1/4") power tool designed for planing applications. It shares the same advantages as the AC power planer Model KP0800.

Function Description:

The Makita BKP180 is a cordless planer primarily used for smoothing and shaping wood surfaces. It operates on an 18V battery system, offering portability and freedom from power cords. The planer is capable of adjusting planing depth and shiplapping, making it versatile for various woodworking tasks. An electric brake is integrated for enhanced safety and control, quickly stopping the blade rotation when the trigger is released.

Dimensions (L x W x H): 333 mm (13-1/8") x 157 mm (6-3/16") x 160 mm (6-5/16")

Available Variations:

The BKP180 is available in several configurations:

*BKP180Z (LXPK01Z)1: Tool only (no charger, battery, or battery cover)
BKP180RF: Includes DC18RA charger, one BL1830 battery, no battery cover
*BKP180RFE (LXPK01)1: Includes DC18RA charger, two BL1830 batteries, and one battery cover

Standard Equipment:

The standard equipment for the BKP180 includes:

Planer blade (re-sharpenable type) or T.C.T. Mini planer blade (disposable type)
Sharpening holder assembly (for countries using re-sharpenable type Planer blade)
Dressing stone (for countries using re-sharpenable type Planer blade)
Blade gauge assembly
Socket wrench 9
Guide rule

Plastic carrying case (except for BKP180Z (LXPK01Z)*1)
Note: Standard equipment may vary by country.

Optional Accessories:

A range of optional accessories enhances the functionality and maintenance of the BKP180:

Chargers: Fast charger DC18RA, Charger DC18SD, Automotive charger DC18SE, Charger DC24SC
Battery: Li-ion battery BL1830
Dust management: Dust bag, Dust nozzle, Elbow
Blades: Planer blade (re-sharpenable type, disposable type)
Measurement/Adjustment: Guide rule, Blade gauge assembly
Maintenance: Dressing stone

Usage Features:

The BKP180 is designed for ease of use and precision. The adjustable planing depth allows users to control the material removal, while the shiplapping capacity enables the creation of rabbets or grooves. The cordless design provides maximum maneuverability, making it suitable for on-site work or areas without immediate power access. The electric brake contributes to user safety by quickly stopping the blade after operation.

Maintenance Features:

The manual provides detailed instructions for disassembly, assembly, lubrication, and necessary repair tools, facilitating maintenance and repair.

Lubrication:

Specific lubrication points are identified to prevent unusual abrasion:

Cam plate: Surface where Knob contacts (Makita grease N No.2)
Front base:
- (a) Threaded portion (VG100)
- (b) Cylindrical portion where Main frame contacts (VG100)
- A small amount of lubricant is recommended for these points.

Disassembly/Assembly Procedures:

The manual outlines step-by-step procedures for disassembling and assembling key components:

Poly V-Belt 4-241: Instructions for removal (cutting if damaged) and assembly (hooking onto V-pulleys and turning counterclockwise to engage grooves).
Motor section: Details on removing carbon brushes, tapping screws, separating the bracket from the main frame, disassembling the armature from the bracket, and removing ball bearings. Specific tools like an impact driver with Phillips bit and bit adapter are mentioned for V-pulley removal.
Yoke unit: Guidance on removing the baffle plate and the yoke unit from the main frame, with assembly instructions emphasizing alignment of notches and ribs.
Drum: Procedures for disassembling the drum from the bracket, removing V-pulley 4-33.5, and removing ball bearings (6000DDW and 608ZZ). Special instructions are given for sharpening 1R269 jaws if the clearance for 608ZZ is too small.
Front Base, Base, Foot: Steps for removing the knob cover, retaining ring S-8, M10 Hex nut, and separating the front base, base (rear), and foot. Assembly involves passing the long pin of the foot through the torsion spring, assembling the foot to the base, and then the front base to the main frame, followed by adjusting the planing depth to zero. This involves turning the knob cover clockwise until surfaces contact and aligning the "0" indication on the knob with the triangle mark on the main frame.

Repairing Tools:

The following specialized tools are necessary for repairs:

1R004 Retaining ring pliers ST-2: For removing/assembling Retaining Ring S-8.
1R291 Retaining ring S & R pliers: For removing/assembling Retaining Ring S-8.
1R263 Baring extractor: For removing Knob cover.
1R269 Baring extractor (small): For removing Ball bearings.

Wiring Diagram:

Detailed circuit and wiring diagrams are provided, illustrating the connections between the controller, switch, motor housing, brush holders, and terminal. It also indicates the color index of lead wires' sheath (Black, Red, White, Yellow) and notes the presence of a "Line filter" which may not be used for some countries. Instructions are given for routing lead wires through holders and between ribs, and for connecting flag connectors to ensure correct polarity.
