English
As shown in Fig. 12, to install insert template guide in
center hole in template guide adapter with 2 accessory
screws.
A template is a profi ling mold made of plywood or
thin lumber. When making a template, pay particular
attention to the matters described below and illustrated
in Fig. 13.
When using the router along the interior plane of the
template, the dimensions of the fi nished product will be
less than the dimensions of the template by an amount
equal to dimension "A", the diff erence between the
radius of the template guide and the radius of the bit. The
reverse is true when using the router along the exterior of
the template.
(3) Straight guide (Fig. 14)
Use straight guide for chamfering and groove cutting
along the materials side.
Insert the guide bar into the hole in the bar holder, then
lightly tighten the 2 wing bolts (A) on top of the bar
holder.
Insert the guide bar into the hole in the base, then fi rmly
tighten the wing bolt (A).
Make minute adjustments of the dimensions between
the bit and the guide surface with the feed screw, then
fi rmly tighten the 2 wing bolts (A) on top of the bar holder
and the wing bolt (B) that secures the straight guide.
As shown in Fig. 15, securely attach the bottom of the
base to processed surface of the materials. Feed the
router while keeping the guide plane on the surface of
the materials.
(4) Dust guide and Dust guide adapter (Fig. 16)
Your router is equipped with dust guide and a dust guide
adapter.
Match the 2 grooves on the base and insert the 2 dust
guide tabs in holes located in the base side from the top.
Tighten the dust guide with a screw.
The dust guide diverts cutting debris away from the
operator and directs the discharge in a consistent
direction.
By fi tting the dust guide adapter into the dust guide
cutting debris discharge vent, the dust extractor can be
attached.
4. Adjusting the rotation speed
The M12V2 has an electronic control system that allows
stepless rpm changes.
As shown in Fig. 17, dial position "1" is for minimum
speed, and position "6" for maximum speed.
5. Removing the spring
The springs within the column of the router can be
removed. Doing so will eliminate spring resistance and
allows easy adjustment of cutting depth when attaching
the router stand.
(1) Loosen the 4 sub base screws, and remove the sub
base.
(2) Loosen the stopper bolt and remove it, so the spring can
be removed. (Fig. 18)
CAUTION
Remove the stopper bolt with the main unit (router) fi xed
at its maximum height.
Removing the stopper bolt with the unit in a shortened
condition may cause the stopper bolt and spring to be
discharged and cause injury.
6. Cutting
CAUTION
○ Wear eye protection when operating this tool.
○ Keep your hands, face and other body parts away from
the bits and any other rotating parts, while operating the
tool.
(1) As shown in Fig. 19, remove the bit from the work pieces
and press the switch lever up to the ON position. Do
not start cutting operation until the bit has reached full
rotating speed.
(2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated on
the base). To obtain maximum cutting eff ectiveness,
feed the router in conformance with the feed directions
shown in Fig. 20.
NOTE
If a worn bit is used to make deep grooves, a high
pitched cutting noise may be produced.
Replacing the worn bit with a new one will eliminate the
high pitched noise.
7 Trimmer Guide (Optional accessory) (Fig. 21)
Use the trimmer guide for trimming or chamfering. Attach
the trimmer guide to the bar holder as shown in Fig. 22.
After aligning the roller to the appropriate position,
tighten the two wing bolts (A) and the other two wing
bolts (B). Use as shown in Fig. 23.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
1. Oiling
To ensure smooth vertical movement of the router,
occasionally apply a few drops of machine oil to the
sliding portions of the columns and end bracket.
2. Inspecting the mounting screws
Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that
they are properly tightened. Should any of the screws be
loose, retighten them immediately. Failure to do so could
result in serious hazard.
3. Maintenance of the motor
The motor unit winding is the very "heart" of the power
tool.
Exercise due care to ensure the winding does not
become damaged and/or wet with oil or water.
4. Inspecting the carbon brushes
For your continued safety and electrical shock protection,
carbon brush inspection and replacement on this tool
should ONLY be performed by a HiKOKI AUTHORIZED
