Operation - Makita 3600BR Instruction Manual

Operation
• Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any contact. Then
turn the toolonand 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. (See the figure below)

Correct bit feed direction
NOTE:
• 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 is advisable to make a sample cut on a
piece of scrap I·umber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you
to check dimensions.
• When using the straight 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.
