Makita 3612C Instruction Manual page 9

The straight guide
is
effectively used for
straight cuts when chamfering or grooving.
Install the straight guide on the guide
holder with the wing bolt (B). Tighten the
wing bolt
(B)
only tight enough to hold
the straight guide temporarily. Then insert
the guide holder into the holes in the tool
base and tighten the wing bolts (A). Adjust
the distance between the bit and the
straight guide by turning the fine adjusting
screw (1.5 mm or about 1/16" per turn).
At the desired distance, tighten the wing
bolt
(B)
to secure the straight guide in
place.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush with the side of the workpiece.
Wider straight guide of desired dimensions
may be made by using the convenient holes
in the guide to bolt on extra pieces of
wood.
When using a large diameter bit, attach
pieces of wood to the straight guide which
have a thickness of more than 15 mm
(5/8")
so
that the bit does not strike the
straight guide.
