Additional Safety Rules - Makita RP0910 Instruction Manual

15. Disconnect tools
When not in use, before servicing, and when chang-
ing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
Form the habit of checking to see that keys and
adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before
turning it on.
17. Avoid unintentional starting
Don't carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be
sure switch is off when plugging in.
18. Outdoor use extension cords
When tool is used outdoors, use only extension
cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.

not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment of moving
parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an autho-
rized service center unless otherwise indicated else-
where in this instruction manual. Have defective
switches replaced by an authorized service center.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment other
than recommended in this operating instruction or
the catalog may present a risk of personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by an expert
This electric appliance is in accordance with the rel-
evant safety rules. Repairing of electric appliances
may be carried out only by experts otherwise it may
cause considerable danger for the user.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. Wear hearing protection during extended period
of operation.
3. Handle the bits very carefully.
4. Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
bit immediately.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure the bit is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on.
9. 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.
10. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the
feed direction.
11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
12. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to
a complete stop before removing the tool from
workpiece.
13. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation;
it may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
14. Always lead the power supply cord away from
the tool towards the rear.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing router bit
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the bit.
Loosen the collet nut. Insert the bit all the way into the
collet cone. Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft station-
ary and use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely.
(Fig. 1)
A 8 mm or 1/4" 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 intended
to use. (Fig. 2)
Optional accessories include 6 mm, 8 mm and 1/4" collet
cones.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or the
collet cone will break.
Adjusting the depth of cut (Fig. 3)
Place the tool on a flat surface.
Loosen the lock knob and lower the tool body until the bit
just touches the flat surface. Tighten the lock knob to lock
the tool body.
Turn the stopper pole setting nut counterclockwise.
Lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the
ENB033-1
adjusting bolt. Align the depth pointer with the "0" gradua-
tion. The depth of cut is indicated on the scale by the
depth pointer.
While pressing the fast-feed button, raise the stopper
pole until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Minute
depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the adjust-
ing knob (1 mm per turn.)
By turning the stopper pole setting nut clockwise, you
can fasten the stopper pole firmly.
Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained by
loosening the lock knob and then lowering the tool body
until the stopper pole makes contact with the adjusting
bolt of the stopper block.
Nylon nut (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Do not lower the nylon nut too low or the bit will pro-
trude dangerously.
By turning the nylon nut, the upper limit of the tool body
can be adjusted. When the tip of the bit is retracted more
than required in relation to the base plate surface, turn
the nylon nut to lower the upper limit.
