Maintenance - Makita RP0910 Instruction Manual

Straight guide (Fig. 9, 10 & 11)
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
To install the straight guide, insert the guide bars into the
holes in the tool base. Adjust the distance between the
bit and the straight guide. At the desired distance, tighten
the lock screw to secure the straight guide in place.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
If the distance between the side of the workpiece and the
cutting position is too wide for the straight guide, the
straight guide cannot be used. In this case, firmly clamp
a straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide
against the router base.
Templet guide (optional accessory)
(Fig. 12, 13 & 14)
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the router with templet pat-
terns.
To install the templet guide, insert the templet guide into
the tool base and then tighten the screws.
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on
the templet and move the tool with the templet guide slid-
ing along the side of the templet.
Connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust
collector (Fig. 15)
Cleaner operations can be performed by connecting the
router to Makita vacuum cleaner or dust collector.
Insert the nozzle assembly and the dust nozzle assembly
into the router. Also, the dust nozzle assembly can be
inserted into the router base directly in accordance with
the operation.
When connecting to Makita vacuum cleaner (Model 406/
431), an optional hose 28 mm in inner diameter is neces-
sary.
When connecting to Makita dust collector (Model 420S),
the optional hose is not necessary . You can connect the
router directly to the hose of the dust collector.
