Functional Description - Maktec MT362 Manual De Instrucciones

10. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate improperly installed bit.
11. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the
feed direction.
12. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
13. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to
a complete stop before removing the tool from
workpiece.
14. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation;
it may be extremely hot and could burn your
skin.
15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thin-
ner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause
cracks in the tool base.
16. Use bits of the correct shank diameter suitable
for the speed of the tool.
17. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working
with.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruc-
tion manual may cause serious personal injury.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut (Fig. 1)
Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the lock lever and
lower the tool body until the bit just touches the flat sur-
face. Press the lock lever down to lock the tool body.
While pressing the fast-feed button, move the stopper
pole up or down until the desired depth of cut is obtained.
Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the
stopper pole (1.5 mm per turn).
CAUTION:
• The depth of cut should not be more than 20 mm at a
pass when cutting grooves. For extra-deep grooving
operations, make two or three passes with progres-
sively deeper bit settings.
Nylon nut (Fig. 2)
For tool without the knob
The upper limit of the tool body can be adjusted by turn-
ing the nylon nut. Do not lower the nylon nut too low. The
bit will protrude dangerously.
For tool with the knob
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. Do not lower the knob
too low. The bit will protrude dangerously.
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 at a pass when cutting
grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than
20 mm deep, make several passes with progressively
deeper bit settings.
• Do not lower the knob too low. The bit will protrude
dangerously.
Stopper block (Fig. 3)
As the rotary stopper has three adjusting hex bolts, you
can easily obtain three different depths of cut without
readjusting the stopper pole. To adjust the hex bolts,
loosen the hex nuts on them and turn the hex bolts. After
obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nuts to
secure the hex bolts.
Switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the tool is switched off.
• Make sure that the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I position.
To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O position.
CAUTION:
• Hold the tool firmly when turning off the tool, to over-
come the reaction.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the bit (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
• Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrenches
provided with the tool. A loose or overtightened bit can
be dangerous.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit or
install small shank bits without using a collet sleeve.
Either can lead to breakage of the collet cone.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press the
shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the
wrench to tighten the collet nut securely. When using
router bits with smaller shank diameter, first insert the
appropriate collet sleeve into the collet cone, then install
the bit as described above.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
