Using The Optional Accessories; Maintenance And Inspection - Hitachi M12V2 Handling Instructions Manual

English
between the radius of the template guide and the
radius of the bit. The reverse is true when using
the router along the exterior of the template.
(3) Straight guide
Use straight guide for chamfering and groove cutting
along the materials side.
1 Insert the guide bar into the hole in the bar holder,
then lightly tighten the 2 wing bolts (A) on top of
the bar holder.
2 Insert the guide bar into the hole in the base, then
firmly tighten the wing bolt (A).
3 Make minute adjustments of the dimensions between
the bit and the guide surface with the feed screw,
then firmly tighten the 2 wing bolts (A) on top of
the bar holder and the wing bolt (B) that secures
the straight guide.
4 As shown in Fig. 14, securely attach the bottom of
the base to processed surface of the materials. Feed
the router while keeping the guide plane on the
surface of the materials.
(4) Dust guide and Dust guide adapter (Fig. 15)
Your router is equipped with dust guide and a dust
guide adapter.
1 Match the 2 grooves on the base and insert the
2 dust guide tabs in holes located in the base side
from the top. Tighten the dust guide with a screw.
The dust guide diverts cutting debris away from the
operator and directs the discharge in a consistent
direction.
2 By fitting the dust guide adapter into the dust guide
cutting debris discharge vent, the dust extractor can
be attached.
4. Adjusting the rotation speed (Model M12V2 only)
The M12V2 has an electronic control system that
allows stepless rpm changes.
As shown in Fig. 16, dial position "1" is for minimum
speed, and position "6" for maximum speed.
5. Removing the spring
The springs within the column of the router can
be removed. Doing so will eliminate spring
resistance and allows easy adjustment of cutting
depth when attaching the router stand.
(1) Loosen the 4 sub base screws, and remove the sub
base.
(2) Loosen the stopper bolt and remove it, so the
spring can be removed. (Fig. 17)
CAUTION
Remove the stopper bolt with the main unit (router)
fixed at its maximum height.
Removing the stopper bolt with the unit in a
shortened condition may cause the stopper bolt and
spring to be discharged and cause injury.
6. Cutting
CAUTION
Wear eye protection when operating this tool.
Keep your hands, face and other body parts away
from the bits and any other rotating parts, while
operating the tool.
(1) As shown in Fig. 18, remove the bit from the work
pieces and press the switch lever up to the ON
position. Do not start cutting operation until the bit
has reached full rotating speed.
(2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated
on the base). To obtain maximum cutting
effectiveness, feed the router in conformance with
the feed directions shown in Fig. 19.

NOTE
If a worn bit is used to make deep grooves, a high
pitched cutting noise may be produced.
Replacing the worn bit with a new one will eliminate
the high pitched noise.

USING THE OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Trimmer Guide (Fig. 20):
Use the trimmer guide for trimming or chamfering.
Attach the trimmer guide to the bar holder as
shown in Fig. 21.
After aligning the roller to the appropriate position,
tighten the two wing bolts (A) and the other two
wing bolts (B). Use as shown in Fig. 22.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

1. Oiling
To ensure smooth vertical movement of the router,
occasionally apply a few drops of machine oil to
the sliding portions of the columns and end bracket.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of the
screws be loose, retighten them immediately. Failure
to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the
power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
