English
A template is a pro fi ling mold made of plywood or thin
lumber.
When making a template, pay particular attention to the
matters described bellow and illustrated in Fig. 12 .
When using the router along the interior plane of the
template, the dimensions of the fi nished product will be
less than the dimensions of the template by a 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.
Secure the template to the workpiece. Feed the router
in the manner that the template guide moves along the
template as shown in Fig. 13 .
(2) Straight guide (Standard accessory) ( Fig. 14 )
Use straight guide for chamfering and groove cutting
along the materials side.
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.
Insert the guide bar into the hole in the base, then fi rmly
tighten the wing bolt (A).
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.
As shown in Fig. 15 , 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. Switch operation
This product is equipped with an ON/OFF Lock button
to prevent any inadvertent switch trigger operation. To
activate the tool, press down on the ON/OFF Lock button
and draw the switch trigger. ( Fig. 16 )
When the switch trigger is fully drawn, a further press
of the ON/OFF Lock button will lock the switch trigger
in place, allowing the release of the switch trigger for
continued operation. ( Fig. 17 (a) )
The switch trigger will not be locked if the ON/OFF Lock
button is released before the switch trigger is fully drawn,
making it possible to operate the tool with a press of the
switch trigger.
To unlock the switch trigger, draw the switch trigger
once again to release the ON/OFF Lock button and
discontinue operation. ( Fig. 17 (b) )
Prior to using the tool, make sure that the ON/OFF Lock
button and the switch trigger are operating properly.
5. How to use the LED light (Fig. 18)
The LED light will light the area at the tip of the tool when
the switch is “ON”.
The LED light will automatically power o ff 10 seconds
after the switch is released.
6. Adjusting the rotation speed
The M3612DA has an electronic control system that
allows rpm changes.
As shown in Fig. 19 , dial position “1” is for minimum
speed, and position “6” for maximum speed.
7. 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.
NOTE
○ Do not press the lock pin while the motor is rotating.
Also, do not switch the tool on while pressing the lock
pin.
Doing so may damage the lock pin and/or shaft as well
as result in injury.
○ Please limit the cutting depth of a single cut to under
20 mm.
○ When cutting a deep groove, repeat the cut 2 or 3 times.
Deep cutting operations can make the tool di ffi cult
to control and may overload the motor, resulting in
malfunction.
○ Moving the tool forward fast may cause a poor quality
of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool
forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind
of workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut
on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sample
cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly
how the cut will look as well as enable you to check
dimensions.
○ Abnormalities and overloads will trigger the overload
protector, and stop operation. Remove the load
immediately, and turn the power o ff , then on. The
rotation speed should return to normal.
(1) As shown in Fig. 20 , 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 on
the base). To obtain maximum cutting e ff ectiveness,
feed the router in conformance with the feed directions
shown in Fig. 21 .
8. Trimmer Guide (Optional accessory) (Fig. 22)
Use the trimmer guide for trimming or chamfering. Attach
the trimmer guide to the bar holder as shown in Fig. 23 .
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. 24 .
9. Dust Collector Set (Standard accessory)
Connect the dust collector set cleaner to collect dust.
(1) Mounting the dust collector.
Use a screwdriver to attach the two screws to the base.
( Fig. 25 )
Align the holes on the dust collector with the two screws
and attach the dust collector.
Tighten the two knob nuts.
Connect the cleaner to the dust collector. ( Fig. 26 )
(2) Dismounting the dust collector.
Use a screwdriver to loosen the two screws.
LED LIGHT WARNING SIGNALS
(Fig. 30)
This product features functions that are designed to protect
the tool itself as well as the battery. When any of the
safeguard functions are triggered, any of the LED light will
blink as described in Table 3 .
In this case, follow the instructions described under
corrective action.
