Straight Guide (Optional Accessory) - Makita 3612BR Instruction Manual

NOTE :
0
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 i s 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 straight guide or the trimmer guide, be sure to install it on the right side
in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.
Straight guide (Optional accessory)
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 board-jointing 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.
