2. Guiding the trimmer
WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and pull out the battery to
avoid serious trouble.
(1) Template Guide (Standard accessory)
It is handy to process with a template a number of
materials in one same shape.
(In this case 6 × 6 mm or 1/4" × 1/4" straight bit is usable.)
Remove the base ass'y from the main unit.
Install the template guide in the recessed part of the
base ass'y and secure it with two screws. (
Fig. 11
)
NOTE
Tighten the two screws moderately. Optimum tightening
torque is 10–15 kg-cm.
Install the base ass'y in the main unit.
CAUTION
When
fi
t the template guide, the upper part of the
template guide must not touch the collet nut.
When using the trimmer 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 trimmer along the exterior
of the template. (
Fig. 12
)
Secure the template to the workpiece. Feed the trimmer
in the manner that the template guide moves along the
template as shown in
Fig. 13
.
(2) Trimmer guide (Standard accessory)
The guide is handy when used in processing of materials
such as trimming and beveling of plywood.
Fit the trimmer guide on the base ass’y with knob bolt
(B).
Loosen knob bolt (B) to move the trimmer guide up and
down.
Loosen knob bolt (C) and turn the stop screw to move
the guide pin. (
Fig. 14
)
After moving the guide pin, tighten knob bolt (C) to
secure it.
As shown in
Fig. 15
, securely attach the bottom of the
base ass’y to processed surface of the materials. Feed
the trimmer with the guide pin alongside the material.
(3) Straight guide (Standard accessory)
Application:
○
It is handy when used for linear processing work such as
beveling, grooving and the like.
Fit the straight guide with knob bolt (B) on the base ass’y
and
fi
x it.
Adjust the length "B" from the bit to the surface of straight
guide by loosening the wing nut and moving the straight
guide as necessary. (
Fig. 16
)
As shown in
Fig. 17
, securely attach the bottom of the
base ass’y to processed surface of the materials. Feed
the trimmer while keeping the guide plane on the surface
of the materials.
○
By exchanging the straight guide with the guide holder,
the tool can be used for circle cutting work.
[Processing range (distance from the enter of rotation to
the center of the bit)]
Minimum: 84 mm
Maximum: 182 mm
Note that circles measuring 102 to 124 mm and 143 mm
to 158 mm cannot be processed.
Turn wing nut and remove the bolt and washers
(2 pieces).
Reverse the top and bottom of the straight guide and
attach it to the guide holder. (
Fig. 18
)
Depending on the radius of the circle to be processed,
the holes will vary for the wing nut and bolt.
Processing a circle with a radius of 84 to 102 mm
(
Fig. 19-a
)
Processing a circle with a radius of 124 to 182 mm
(
Fig. 19-b
)
Installation to the tool is the same as that for straight line
processing.
Align the hole of the straight guide left in the center
position of the circle processing, and
fi
rmly secure with
a nail less than 6 mm in diameter which will act as a
rotation axis.
Rotate the body towards the right. (
Fig. 20
)
3. Switch operation (Fig. 21)
The unit will operate when the switch button is pressed
after pressing the power button.
See
Fig. 21
for speci
fi
cations on button controls.
The power indicator lamp and LED light will always
operate together with the power button.
If the power is ON and the tool is not operated
for approximately 10 seconds, the power will be
automatically switched OFF and the power indicator
lamp and LED light will also be switched o
ff
.
4. Dust Collector Set (Standard accessory) (Fig. 22)
Connect the dust collector set cleaner to collect dust.
(1) Slot the protrusion on the inside of the dust collector to
the positioning hole at the front lower left of the base
ass’y, and attach it to cover the front of the base ass’y.
(2) Using the included knob bolt (D) to secure the dust
collector hole to the body’s screw hole.
5. Adjusting the rotation speed
The M3608DA has an electronic control system that
allows rotation speed changes.
As shown in
Fig. 23
, dial position “1” is for minimum
speed, and position “6” for maximum speed.
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.
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
5 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.
It is recommended that the most appropriate guide be
used which is suitable to the type of the work in order to
carry out the work exactly without failure.
(Refer to "2. Guiding the trimmer".) The workpieces to be
processed should be
fi
rmly
fi
xed.
