Maintenance - Makita 3707 Instruction Manual

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. 14)
Install the trimmer guide 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 turn-
ing the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At the desired
distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to secure the trim-
mer guide in place. (Fig. 15)
When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding
the side of the workpiece. (Fig. 16)
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) =

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.
