User manual MAKITA RP0900

[. . . ] Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. [. . . ] Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the correct shank diameter and which are suitable for the speed of the tool. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are working with. CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. Loosen the lock lever and lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat surface. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious personal injury. Next, lower the stopper pole until it makes contact with the adjusting hex bolt. the depth of cut is indicated on the scale (1 mm or 1/16" per graduation) by the depth pointer. 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. 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 15 mm (9/16") at a pass when cutting grooves with an 8 mm (5/16") diameter bit. When cutting grooves with a 20 mm (13/16") diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be more than 5 mm (3/16") at a pass. When you wish to cut grooves more than 15 mm (9/16") deep with an 8 mm (5/16") diameter bit or more than 5 mm (3/16") deep with a 20 mm (13/16") diameter bit, make several passes with progressively deeper bit settings. The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts which raise or lower 0. 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". [. . . ] When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush with the side of the workpiece. If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece and the cutting position is too wide for the straight guide, or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, the straight guide cannot be used. In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide against the router base. Place the tool on the templet and move the tool with the templet guide sliding along the side of the templet. [. . . ]
