(1) Template guide adapter
1
Loosen the 2 template guide adapter screws, so
that the template guide adapter can be moved. (
Fig. 8
)
2
Insert the centering gauge through the hole in the
template guide adapter and into the collet chuck. (
Fig. 9
)
3
Tighten the collet chuck by hand.
4
Tighten the template guide adapter screws, and
pull out the centering gauge.
(2) Template guide
Use the template guide when employing a template
for producing a large quantity of identically shaped
products. (
Fig. 10
)
As shown in
Fig. 11
, to install insert template
guide in center hole in template guide adapter with
2 accessory screws.
A template is a profiling mold made of plywood
or thin lumber. When making a template, pay
particular attention to the matters described below
and illustrated in
Fig. 12
.
When using the router along the interior plane
of the template, the dimensions of the finished
product will be less than the dimensions of the
template by an amount equal to dimension “A”, the
di
ff
erence between the radius of the template guide
and the radius of the bit. The reverse is true when
using the router along the exterior of the template.
(3) Straight guide
Use straight guide for chamfering and groove
cutting along the materials side.
1
Insert the guide bar into the hole in the bar holder,
then lightly tighten the 2 wing bolts (A) on top of
the bar holder.
2
Insert the guide bar into the hole in the base, then
fi
rmly tighten the wing bolt (A).
3
Make minute adjustments of the dimensions
between the bit and the guide surface with the
feed screw, then
fi
rmly tighten the 2 wing bolts (A)
on top of the bar holder and the wing bolt (B) that
secures the straight guide.
4
As shown in
Fig. 14
, securely attach the bottom
of the base to processed surface of the materials.
Feed the router while keeping the guide plane on
the surface of the materials.
(4) Dust guide and Dust guide adapter (
Fig. 15
)
Your router is equipped with dust guide and a dust
guide adapter.
1
Match the 2 grooves on the base and insert the 2
dust guide tabs in holes located in the base side
from the top. Tighten the dust guide with a screw.
The dust guide diverts cutting debris away from
the operator and directs the discharge in a
consistent direction.
2
By
fi
tting the dust guide adapter into the dust guide
cutting debris discharge vent, the dust extractor can
be attached.
4. Adjusting the rotation speed (Model M12V2
only)
The M12V2 has an electronic control system that
allows stepless rpm changes.
As shown in
Fig. 16
, dial position “1” is for
minimum speed, and position “6” for maximum
speed.
5. Removing the spring
The springs within the column of the router can be
removed. Doing so w ill eliminate spring resistance
and allows easy adjustment of cutting depth when
attaching the router stand.
(1) Loosen the 4 sub base screws, and remove the
sub base.
(2) Loosen the stopper bolt and remove it, so the
spring can be removed. (
Fig. 17
)
CAUTION
Remove the stopper bolt with the main unit (router)
fi
xed at its maximum height.
Removing the stopper bolt with the unit in a
shortened condition may cause the stopper bolt
and spring to be discharged and cause injury.
6. Cutting
CAUTION
○
Wear eye protection when operating this tool.
○
Keep your hands, face and other body parts away
from the bits and any other rotating parts, while
operating the tool.
(1) As shown in
Fig. 18
, remove the bit from the work
pieces and press the switch lever up to the ON
position. Do not start cutting operation until the bit
has reached full rotating speed.
(2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated
o n t h e b a s e). To o b t a i n m a x i m u m c u t t i n g
e
ff
ectiveness, feed the router in conformance with
the feed directions shown in
Fig. 19
.
NOTE
If a worn bit is used to make deep grooves, a high
pitched cutting noise may be produced.
Replacing the worn bit with a new one will
eliminate the high pitched noise.
USING THE OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
Trimmer Guide (
Fig. 20
):
Use the trimmer guide for trimming or chamfering.
Attach the trimmer guide to the bar holder as
shown in
Fig. 21
.
After aligning the roller to the appropriate position,
tighten the two wing bolts (A) and the other two
wing bolts (B). Use as shown in
Fig. 22
.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Oiling
To ensure smooth vertical movement of the router,
occasionally apply a few drops of machine oil to
the sliding portions of the columns and end bracket.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure
that they are properly tightened. Should any of
the screws be loose, retighten them immediately.
Failure to do so could result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very “heart” of the
power tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes
For your continued safety and electrical shock
protection, carbon brush inspection and replacement
on this tool should ONLY be performed by a
HiKOKI AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER.
