Maintenance - Makita 3707 Instruction Manual

Templet guide
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with templet patterns.
(Fig. 17)
Loosen the screws and remove the base protector. Place the templet guide on the base and replace the base protec-
tor. Then secure the base protector by tightening the screws. (Fig. 18)
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on the templet and move the tool with the templet guide sliding
along the side of the templet. (Fig. 19)
NOTE:
The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X) between the router bit and
the outside of the templet guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using the following equation:
outside diameter of the templet guide – router bit diameter
Distance (X) =
2

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 20)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 21)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized or Factory Service Centres,
always using Makita replacement parts.
