[. . . ] The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turning the nylon nut. 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". 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 bolts, 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. 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 (19/32") 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. For extra-deep grooving operations, make two or three passes with progressively deeper bit settings. Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the switch is turned on. To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock button is provided. To start the tool, depress the lock button and pull the switch trigger.

If the tool consistently fails to quickly stop after switch trigger moving to the "OFF" position, have tool serviced at a Makita service center. For model RP2301FC only Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constantly even under the loaded condition. Additionally, when the load on the tool exceeds admissible levels, power to the motor is reduced to protect the motor from overheating.
