Operation - Makita 3707 Instruction Manual

OPERATION

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the
bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the bit attains full speed. Move the tool forward over
the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.

NOTE:
Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor
•
quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving
the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the
cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size,
the kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before
beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it is
advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look
as well as enable you to check dimensions.
When using the trimmer shoe, the straight guide or
•
the trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right
side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it
flush with the side of the workpiece.

CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
•
motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of
cut should not be more than 3 mm at a pass when
cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves
more than 3 mm deep, make several passes with
progressively deeper bit settings.

Templet guide

The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with templet
patterns.
Loosen the screws and remove the base protector. Place
the templet guide on the base and replace the base
protector. Then secure the base protector by tightening
the screws.

NOTE:
The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size
•
from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the router bit and the outside of the
templet guide. The distance (X) can be calculated
by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide -
router bit diameter) / 2
