Operation - Makita RP0910 Instruction Manual

For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or
•
three passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.
Do not lower the nylon nut too low, or the bit will
•
protrude dangerously.
Stopper block
Fig.3
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 using these adjusting hex
bolts without readjusting the stopper pole.
Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of
cut, following the method of "Adjusting depth of cut".
Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallower
depths of cut. The differences in height of these hex
bolts are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the hex bolts, first loosen the hex nuts on the
hex bolts with the wrench and then turn the hex bolts.
After obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nuts
while holding the hex bolts in that desired position. The
stopper block is also convenient for making three passes
with progressively deeper bit settings when cutting deep
grooves.
Switch action
Fig.4
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the
•
switch is turned on.
To start the tool, depress the lock button and pull the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then depress the lock button further. To stop the tool, pull
the switch trigger so that the lock button returns
automatically. Then release the switch trigger.
After releasing the switch trigger, the lock-off function
works to prevent the switch trigger from being pulled.
Speed adjusting dial
For RP1110C
Fig.5
The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 5.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 5. And lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum
material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly
adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the
number settings on the dial and the approximate tool
speed.

CAUTION:
The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as far
•
as 5 and back to 1. Do not force it past 5 or 1, or
the speed adjusting function may no longer work.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing the bit
Fig.6
CAUTION:
Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrench
•
provided with the tool. A loose or overtightened bit
can be dangerous.
Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit.
•
It can lead to breakage of the collet cone.
Insert the 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.
A 8 mm or 6.35 mm collet cone is factory installed on the
tool. When using router bits with other shank diameter,
use the correct size collet cone for the bit which you
intend to use.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Before operation, always make sure that the tool
•
body automatically rises to the upper limit and the
bit does not protrude from the tool base when the
lock knob is loosened.
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. Lower the tool body and
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.
