Maintenance - Makita 3612C Instruction Manual

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)
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.

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.

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 follow-
ing equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet
guide - bit diameter) / 2

Trimmer guide (optional accessory)
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 dis-
tance 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.
