Indication Lamp - Makita M3602 Instruction Manual

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.
► Fig.2: 1. Knob
Since excessive cutting may cause
CAUTION:
overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling
the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than
20 mm (13/16") at a pass when cutting grooves.
When you wish to cut grooves more than 20 mm
(13/16") deep, make several passes with progres-
sively deeper router bit settings.
Do not lower the knob too low. The
CAUTION:
router bit will protrude dangerously.
Stopper block
As the stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts
which raise or lower 0.8 mm per turn, you can easily
obtain three different depths of cut without readjusting
the stopper pole.
► Fig.3: 1. Stopper pole 2. Adjusting hex bolt
3. Stopper block
Adjust the lowest adjusting hex bolt to obtain the deep-
est depth of cut, following the method of "Adjusting
depth of cut".
Adjust the two remaining adjusting hex bolts to obtain
shallower depths of cut. The differences in height of
these adjusting hex bolts are equal to the differences in
depths of cut.
To adjust the adjusting hex bolts, turn the adjusting hex
bolts with a screwdriver or wrench. The stopper block is
also convenient for making three passes with progres-
sively deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.
Switch action
Before plugging in the tool, always
CAUTION:
check to see that the tool is switched off.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the shaft lock is
released before the switch is turned on.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I position.
To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O position.

Hold the tool firmly when turning
CAUTION:
off the tool, to overcome the reaction.
Electronic function
The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for
easy operation.

Indication lamp

► Fig.5: 1. Indication lamp
The indication lamp lights up green when the tool is
plugged. If the indication lamp does not light up, the
mains cord or the controller may be defective. The indi-
cation lamp is lit but the tool does not start even if the
tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn
out, or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch
may be defective.
Unintentional restart proof
The tool does not start with the switch lever is in the I
position even when the tool is plugged.
At this time, the indication lamp blinks in red and shows
the unintentional restart proof device is on function.
To cancel the unintentional restart proof, move the
switch lever to the O position.
Soft start feature
Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes
the tool start smoothly.
ASSEMBLY
Always be sure that the tool is
CAUTION:
switched off and unplugged before carrying out
any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the router bit
Insert the router bit all the way into the collet cone.
Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and
use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely. When
using router bits with smaller shank diameter, first insert
the appropriate collet sleeve into the collet cone, then
install the router bit.
To remove the router bit, follow the installation proce-
dure in reverse.

Install the router bit securely.
CAUTION:
Always use only the wrench provided with the
tool. A loose or overtightened router bit can be
dangerous.
NOTICE:
Do not tighten the collet nut without
inserting a router bit or install small shank bits
without using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to
breakage of the collet cone.
