INSTALLING AND REMOVING BITS
WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and pull out the battery to
avoid serious trouble.
1. Installing bits
(1) Loosen the lock lever, raise the tool to the maximum
stroke position and return the lock lever to the tightening
position.
(2) Clean and insert shank of bit into the collet chuck until
shank bottoms, then back it out approximately 2 mm.
(3) With the bit inserted and pressing the lock pin holding
the shaft, use the 23 mm wrench to fi rmly tighten the
collet chunk in a clockwise direction (viewed from under
the router). (Fig. 5)
CAUTION
○ Ensure that the collet chuck is fi rmly tightened after
inserting a bit. Failure to do so will result in damage to
the collet chuck.
○ Ensure that the lock pin is not inserted into the shaft after
tightening the collet chuck. Failure to do so will result in
damage to the collet chuck, lock pin and shaft.
4. Disconnect the charger’s power cord from the
receptacle.
5. Hold the charger fi rmly and pull out the battery.
NOTE
Be sure to pull out the battery from the charger after use,
and then keep it.
Regarding electric discharge in case of new batteries,
etc.
As the internal chemical substance of new batteries and
batteries that have not been used for an extended period
is not activated, the electric discharge might be low when
using them the fi rst and second time. This is a temporary
phenomenon, and normal time required for recharging
will be restored by recharging the batteries 2–3 times.
How to make the batteries perform longer.
(1) Recharge the batteries before they become completely
exhausted.
When you feel that the power of the tool becomes
weaker, stop using the tool and recharge its battery. If
you continue to use the tool and exhaust the electric
current, the battery may be damaged and its life will
become shorter.
(2) Avoid recharging at high temperatures.
A rechargeable battery will be hot immediately after
use. If such a battery is recharged immediately after
use, its internal chemical substance will deteriorate, and
the battery life will be shortened. Leave the battery and
recharge it after it has cooled for a while.
CAUTION
○ If the battery is charged while it is heated because
it has been left for a long time in a location subject to
direct sunlight or because the battery has just been
used, the charge indicator lamp of the charger lights
for 0.3 seconds, does not light for 0.3 seconds (off for
0.3 seconds). In such a case, fi rst let the battery cool,
then start charging.
○ When the charge indicator lamp fl ickers (at 0.2-second
intervals), check for and take out any foreign objects in
the charger’s battery connector. If there are no foreign
objects, it is probable that the battery or charger is
malfunctioning. Take it to your authorized Service
Center.

3. Guiding the router
WARNING
Be sure to switch power OFF and pull out the battery to
avoid serious trouble.
(1) Template Guide (Standard Accessory)
Use the template guide when employing a template
for producing a large quantity of identifi cally shaped
products.
As shown in Fig. 11, secure the template guide to the
base of the router with two accessory screws. At this
time, ensure that the projection side of the template
guide is facing the bottom surface of the base of the
router.
A template is a profi ling mold made of plywood or thin
lumber.
When making a template, pay particular attention to the
matters described bellow and illustrated in Fig. 12.
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 a 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.
Secure the template to the workpiece. Feed the router
in the manner that the template guide moves along the
template as shown in Fig. 13.
(2) Straight guide (Standard accessory) (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. Switch operation
This product is equipped with an ON/OFF Lock button
to prevent any inadvertent switch trigger operation. To
activate the tool, press down on the ON/OFF Lock button
and draw the switch trigger. (Fig. 16)
When the switch trigger is fully drawn, a further press
of the ON/OFF Lock button will lock the switch trigger
in place, allowing the release of the switch trigger for
continued operation. (Fig. 17 (a))
The switch trigger will not be locked if the ON/OFF Lock
button is released before the switch trigger is fully drawn,
making it possible to operate the tool with a press of the
switch trigger.
To unlock the switch trigger, draw the switch trigger
once again to release the ON/OFF Lock button and
discontinue operation. (Fig. 17 (b))
Prior to using the tool, make sure that the ON/OFF Lock
button and the switch trigger are operating properly.
5. How to use the LED light (Fig. 18)
The LED light will light the area at the tip of the tool when
the switch is “ON”.
The LED light will automatically power off 10 seconds
after the switch is released.
6. Adjusting the rotation speed
The M3612DA has an electronic control system that
allows rpm changes.
As shown in Fig. 19, dial position “1” is for minimum
speed, and position “6” for maximum speed.
7. 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.
NOTE
○ Do not press the lock pin while the motor is rotating.
Also, do not switch the tool on while pressing the lock
pin.
Doing so may damage the lock pin and/or shaft as well
as result in injury.
○ Please limit the cutting depth of a single cut to under
20 mm.
○ When cutting a deep groove, repeat the cut 2 or 3 times.
Deep cutting operations can make the tool diffi cult
to control and may overload the motor, resulting in
malfunction.
14
English
○ Moving the tool forward fast may cause a poor quality
of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool
forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind
of workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut
on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sample
cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly
how the cut will look as well as enable you to check
dimensions.
○ Abnormalities and overloads will trigger the overload
protector, and stop operation. Remove the load
immediately, and turn the power off , then on. The
rotation speed should return to normal.
(1) As shown in Fig. 20, 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. 21.
8 Trimmer Guide (Optional accessory) (Fig. 22)
Use the trimmer guide for trimming or chamfering. Attach
the trimmer guide to the bar holder as shown in Fig. 23.
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. 24.
9. Dust Collector Set (Standard accessory)
Connect the dust collector set cleaner to collect dust.
(1) Mounting the dust collector.
Use a screwdriver to attach the two screws to the base.
(Fig. 25)
Align the holes on the dust collector with the two screws
and attach the dust collector.
