Functional Description - Makita M3600 Instruction Manual

Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
1.
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
2. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
3. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
Router safety warnings
1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, because the cutter may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the
operator.
2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by your hand or against
the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
3. Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
4. Handle the router bits very carefully.
5. Check the router bit carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged bit immediately.
6. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Make sure the router bit is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
10. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate improperly
installed bit.
11. Be careful of the router bit rotating direction
and the feed direction.
12. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
13. Always switch off and wait for the router bit to
come to a complete stop before removing the
tool from workpiece.
14. Do not touch the router bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with
thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may
cause cracks in the tool base.
16. Use router bits of the correct shank diameter
suitable for the speed of the tool.
17. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.

DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before adjusting or
checking function on the tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut
Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and lower
the tool body until the router bit just touches the flat surface.
Press the lock lever down to lock the tool body. While pressing
the fast-feed button, move the stopper pole up or down until the
desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments can
be obtained by turning the stopper pole (1.5 mm (1/16") per turn).

CAUTION:
The depth of cut should not be
more than 20 mm (13/16") at a pass when cutting
grooves. For extra-deep grooving operations,
make two or three passes with progressively
deeper router bit settings.
Nylon nut
For tool without the knob
The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by
turning the nylon nut. Do not lower the nylon nut too low.
The router bit will protrude dangerously.
For tool with the knob
By turning the knob, the upper limit of the tool body can
be adjusted. When the tip of the router bit is retracted
more than required in relation to the base plate surface,
turn the knob to lower the upper limit. Do not lower the
knob too low. The router bit will protrude dangerously.
