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. Feed the tool in the direction of
the arrow.
Templet guide (Accessory)
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the tool with templet patterns.
(Fig. 47)
To install the templet guide, loosen the screws on the tool
base, insert the templet guide and then tighten the
screws. (Fig. 48)
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on
the templet and move the tool with the templet guide slid-
ing along the side of the templet. (Fig. 49)
NOTE:
• The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from
the templet. Allow for the distance (X) between the bit
and the outside of the templet guide.
The distance (X) can be calculated by using the follow-
ing equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide –
bit diameter) / 2
Dust nozzle sets
For the trimmer base (Fig. 6)
For the plunge base (optional accessory) (Fig. 50)
Use the dust nozzle for dust extraction. Install the dust
nozzle on the tool base using the thumb screw so that
protrusion on the dust nozzle fit to the notch in the tool
base.
Then connect a vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle.
(Fig. 51)
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol or the
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may result.
Replacing carbon brushes
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace when they wear down to the limit mark. Keep
the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in the holders.
Both carbon brushes should be replaced at the same
time. Use only identical carbon brushes. (Fig. 52)
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps. Take
out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
secure the brush holder caps. (Fig. 53)
To maintain product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
any other maintenance or adjustment should be per-
formed by Makita Authorized Service Centers, always
using Makita replacement parts.

Noise
The typical A-weighted noise level determined according
to EN60745:
Sound pressure level (L
Sound power level (L
Uncertainty (K): 3 dB (A)
Wear ear protection
Vibration
The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) determined
according to EN60745:
Work mode : rotation without load
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
Work mode : cutting grooves in MDF
Vibration emission (a
Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s
• The declared vibration emission value has been mea-
sured in accordance with the standard test method and
may be used for comparing one tool with another.
• The declared vibration emission value may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING:
• The vibration emission during actual use of the power
tool can differ from the declared emission value
depending on the ways in which the tool is used.
• Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the oper-
ator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the
actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of
the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to
the trigger time).
