1033/01d Router – Makita 3612C
Use the Router only on material that is free from nails, screws, grit,
sand, bitumen and any other non timber product.
Select a work area which is well lit and offers good ventilation. If the
item being worked on is portable, always place it on a suitable work
bench and secure it in a vice or with clamps.
Make sure that the power supply is within easy reach of the work
area to ensure that cables are not placed under strain.
Ensure adequate space around the work area for the operator to
work safely.
Clear the floor area around the work at regular intervals to help
safeguard against accidents.
If working at height, work from a suitable work platform, NOT a
ladder or steps.
You should use a dust collection system with this equipment, by
connecting a dust extraction unit to the outlet.
MAKE SURE that the collection system is securely attached to the
vacuum head.
The Router is fitted with a trigger operated
ON/OFF switch that has a lock OFF thumb
button. The lock OFF button must be depressed
before the trigger can be operated.
To switch the unit, OFF simply release the
trigger.
The Router is also fitted with a variable speed
control dial which should be pre-set prior to
switching the unit ON. See the chart for dial position and RPM.
The Router is supplied with an
adjustable side guide, which should
be used when running a cut parallel to
the materialʼs edge.
To adjust the guideʼs position, loosen
the two guide wing nuts and slide the
guide in or out as required.
A template guide is also supplied. To
fit the guide, move the guide lock lever
out, insert the guide then release the
lever to lock the guide in position.
Caution; cutters are very sharp, always wear gloves to protect your
fingers.
Switch the unit OFF and disconnect it from the power supply.
Depress and hold the shaft lock button then rotate the chuck until
the shaft lock engages. Using the spanner supplied, loosen the
collet nut by turning anticlockwise.
Remove any fitted cutter complete with reducer if used.
Insert the new cutter (complete with reducer if required) at least two
thirds into the chuck, then tighten up the collet nut.
Once tightened, release the shaft lock button and turn the chuck to
confirm that it has disengaged.
Depending upon the task you wish to perform and the size of cutter
being used, you can set the motor unit at a particular start height
and limit itʼs depth of cut.
Ideally, after fitting the cutter, you should set the motor head height
so that the tip of the cutter is just off the work surface when fully
raised.
To do this, turn the motor position adjuster clockwise to lower and
anticlockwise to raise. Make adjustment so that the tip of the cutter
is 2mm away from the work surface.
If you have a specific depth of cut required, you can limit the depth
the cutter can travel to. To set the depth adjust the depth stop bar
so that when lowered to the depth required, the stopʼs end makes
contact with the three way stop guide.
Turn the three-way stop guide so that the most suitable length ʻstopʼ
screw is used.
Make sure that you are wearing your PPE (personal protective
equipment).
Check the whereabouts of all cables and make sure all are clear of
the cut line. Check also that there is enough cable to allow the
Router to travel the full length of the work without being restricted.
Switch ON the dust extraction unit if being used.
Place the Routerʼs base plate on to the work without the cutter in
contact. Hold the Router firmly with both hands then depress the
lock OFF button and squeeze the ON/OFF switch to bring the motor
up to speed.
Lower the cutter to the required
depth and if making a long cut,
depress the head lock lever to
lock the head in position.
Move the Router slowly forward
to begin cutting. DO NOT
operate this machine ʻone
handedʼ and do not swap hands
when the unit is running.
Do not exert pressure on the
machine, let it work at its own
pace. Take your time, rushing the
work is both dangerous and can damage the machine, the cutter
and the material.
As you come to the end of the work piece the Router may drop
slightly and remove excess material. If this happens your work may
be ruined so practice with a piece of spare timber until you are able
to avoid the problem.
Move the Router progressively along the cut line. Always release
the head lock lever and allow the motor head to rise fully at the end
of the work piece
Release the ON/OFF trigger switch and wait for the motor to fully
stop.
Always replace the cutter once blunt.
When not being used, store the unit in a clean condition and in a
safe place, away from thieves and unauthorised users.
When you have finished, switch the unit OFF and wait for the cutter
to stop.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply then remove the
cutter from the chuck.
Next, give the unit a thorough clean ready for return.
