Makita 3612 Instruction Manual page 7

The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the wing
bolt (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes in the tool
base and tighten the wing bolt (A). To adjust the distance
between the bit and the straight guide, loosen the wing
bolt (B) and turn the fine adjusting screw (1.5 mm or
about 1/16" per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the
wing bolt (B) to secure the straight guide in place.

When using a large diameter bit, attach pieces of wood to
the straight guide which have a thickness of more than
15 mm (5/8") to prevent the bit from striking the straight
guide.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
Templet guide (optional accessory)
003688
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the tool with templet patterns.
To install the templet guide, loosen the screws on the tool
base, insert the templet guide and then tighten the
screws.

NOTE:
The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size
•
from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the bit and the outside of the templet guide.
The distance (X) can be calculated by using the
following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet
guide - bit diameter) / 2
Trimmer guide (optional accessory)
003698
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.
Install the trimmer guide on the guide holder with the
wing bolt (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes in the
tool base and tighten the wing bolt (A). To adjust the
distance between the bit and the trimmer guide, loosen
the wing bolt (B) and turn the fine adjusting screw (1.5
mm or 1/16" per turn). When adjusting the guide roller up
or down, loosen the wing bolt (C). After adjusting, tighten
all the wing bolts securely.
