Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
•
before adjusting or checking function on the tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut

Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and
lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface.
Press the lock lever down to lock the tool body.
Now lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the
adjusting hex bolt. The stopper pole can be moved rapidly by
depressing the fast-feed button. While pressing the fast-feed
button, raise the stopper pole until the desired depth of cut is
obtained. The depth of cut is equal to the distance between the
stopper pole and the adjusting hex bolt. Stopper pole travel can
be checked with the scale (1 mm or 1/16" per graduation) on
the tool body. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by
turning the stopper pole (1.5 mm or about 1/16" per turn).
Now, your predetermined depth of cut can be obtained by
loosening the lock lever and then lowering the tool body until
the stopper pole makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt.
By turning the knob, the upper limit of the tool body can
be adjusted. When the tip of the bit is retracted more than
required in relation to the base plate surface, turn the
knob to lower the upper limit.

CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
•
motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of
cut should not be more than 20 mm (13/16") at a
pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut
grooves more than 20 mm (13/16") deep, make
several passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.

The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which
raise or lower 0.8 mm (1/32") per turn. You can easily
obtain three different depths of cut using these adjusting
hex bolts without readjusting the stopper pole.
Adjust the lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest depth of
cut, following the method of "Adjusting depth of cut".
Adjust the two remaining hex bolts to obtain shallower
depths of cut. The differences in height of these hex bolts
are equal to the differences in depths of cut.
To adjust the hex bolt height, turn the hex bolts with a
screwdriver or wrench. The stopper block is also
convenient for making three passes with progressively
deeper bit settings when cutting deep grooves.
Switch action
003660
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the tool is switched off.
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of operator
•
comfort during extended use. Apply caution when locking
tool in "ON" position and maintain firm grasp on tool.
Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the
•
switch is turned on.
Hold the tool firmly when turning off the tool, to
•
overcome the reaction.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I (ON) position. To
stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O (OFF) position.
Electric brake
This tool is equipped with an electric brake. If the tool
consistently fails to quickly stop after switch lever moving to the
O (OFF) position, have tool serviced at a Makita service center.
