Oh ok glad I asked before sending it back. Thanks everyone!

I received my impact wrench today and noticed some play at the base where the battery plugs in. I own another impact (screws/home) and a drill and no space or play at the bases. Can any makita impact owners confirm if this is normal or not before I return it? Purchased off of amazon with an...

I just ran into this same issue with an apartment I just remodeled. Had no luck locally but came across this site. https://www.doityourself.com/forum/plumbing-piping/586131-right-angle-fitting-fridge-water-line.html The "special" fitting is what your looking for.

Can you recommend one?

The only thing that was changed was that plug on the planer (pic#2). I just showed that pic for the wiring it self at the end of the cord. As far as I know everything else is original. These are not made anymore and the switch looks just like others online. I'm not the original owner though...

Just a switch I took the cover off for the pics if I understand your question correctly. No attachment plug. So it sounds like I can use a double 20amp with the wiring I already have and be good. No neutral. Also I forgot to mention that the green and red are whats coming from the motor...

Hi guys, I need to wire up an outlet for my planer. I just want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. Whats a little confusing to me is that it has three wires and if a neutral is used. Now do I install a double pole 15amp in the panel and using 10/2 (I had this laying around) attach both black...

I also purchased this one and got it a few days ago. Went to test it out and noticed that the part which screws to the hose has lots of play, doesn't seem right. Is everyones rigid to the machine or has play?

Anyone at least know if I should get a low or high pressure hose?

Hi everyone, I have this construction heater that is missing the hose. What type of hose should I get? Do these require a low pressure regulated hose or high pressure? The fitting thats on there now is 1/4. [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] thanks in advance

Yea makes sense. I do have some WD40 dry lube that I can use and grease the chain and gears in the bottom portion of the planer which is closed off.

Guys thanks again for the replies. I forgot to ask about greasing the posts that adjust the height. I'd like to give everything a good lubing including the chain and sprockets that move everything. Lithium grease in a spray can adequate?

Awesome! Ill try one of the methods mentioned. I know it's a China brand and a copy but I thought I saw replacement parts for this when I did a Google search on the machine? I may have to check again. I don't need anything for it anyway as its in good working order but it would be good to know...

Just bought this planer that has surface rust. Any ideas on the best way of cleaning it up and keeping from rusting? I was thinking of sanding the rust off but don't know what grit to start with. Any help appreciated Some photos [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG]

Haha yes sir. Originally thought of keeping the compressor in the garage but now I think its a good idea in keeping it in the basement where its cooler and pipe the air to the garage.
