Makita 3612B instruction manual Installing bit, Adjusting cutting depth

Installing bit

0 Loosen the collet nut and insert the bit into the chuck hole. Press the shaft lock and use the wrench to secure the bit care- fully. Use the collet sleeve if necessary.

I

CAUTION :

0 Do not tighten the collet chuck without inserting a bit; do not install a small bit with- out using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to collet chuck breakage.

Adjusting cutting depth

Release the lock lever and lower the tool to the desired depth. Then pull up on the lock lever to lock. Now adjust the stopper block and pole so that, even if the lock lever is released, the router stops a t the uniform depth.

If you press the fast-feed button on the stopper pole, the pole can be advanced rapidly. Ordinarily the pole moves 1.5 mm (1/16”) per turn. Minute depth adjust- ments can be obtained by raising or lowering the stopper pole.
