Makita RD1100, RD1101, RF1100, RF1101 OPERATION

For model RD1100 and RD1101 only

Connect the motor unit cord to the outlet in the handle.

OPERATION Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit

making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the

bit attains full speed. Move the tool forward over the work-

piece surface, keeping the tool base flush and advancing

smoothly until the cutting is complete.

When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be

on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.

NOTE:

•Moving the tool forward too 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.

•When using the straight guide, be sure to install it on the

right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it

flush with the side of the workpiece.
