Remove the chip deflector.

Attach the straight guide with the clamp screw (A). Loosen

the wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the distance

between the bit and the straight guide. At the desired

distance, tighten the wing nut securely. (Fig. 11)

When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush

with the side of the workpiece.

Circular work

Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the

straight guide and guide plate as shown in the figures.

(Fig. 12 & Fig. 13)

Min. and max. radius of circles to be cut (distance

between the center of circle and the center of bit) are as

follows:

Min.: 70 mm

Max.: 221 mm

For cutting circles between 70 mm and 121 mm in radius.

For cutting circles between 121 mm and 221 mm in

radius.

NOTE:

• Circles between 172 mm and 186 mm in radius cannot

be cut using this guide.

Align the center hole in the straight guide with the center

of the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6 mm in

diameter into the center hole to secure the straight guide.

Pivot the tool around the nail in clockwise direction. (Fig.

Trimmer guide

Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the like

can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide

roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut. (Fig. 15)

Attach the chip deflector on the groove of the base. Then

install the trimmer guide and guide holder on the tool base

with the clamp screw (A). Loosen the clamp screw (B) and

adjust the distance between the bit and the trimmer guide

by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At the

desired distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to secure

the trimmer guide in place. (Fig. 16)

When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding the

side of the workpiece. (Fig. 17)

Trimmer shoe (Optional accessory)

By attaching the trimmer shoe, you can obtain a

rightangle guide surface for the trimmer base guide. This

enables accurate chamfering and similar edge work.

(Fig. 18)

Remove the trimmer guide from the tool. Install the

trimmer shoe on the tool base with the adjusting screw

and the clamp screw (B). Loosen the clamp screw (B) and

adjust the distance between the bit and the trimmer shoe

by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At the

desired distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to secure

the trimmer shoe in place. When cutting, feed the tool in

the direction of the arrow on the trimmer shoe. (Fig. 19)

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or

maintenance.

• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the

like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.

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

performed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always

using Makita replacement parts.
