Removing the existing base
For Model RPllOOIRPllOl (Fig. 1)
Loosen the I& screw. Turn the motor unit counter-
C!cdwiise while holding the base. Tum it untilthe pin
in the base is disengaged
from the groove in the
motor unit. Lift the motor unit free from the base.
For Model RF1100/RF1101 (Fig.

Open the lo& lever. Turn the motor unaCOUnterdOck-
wise while holdingthe base. Turn
it until the pinin the

HOW TO USE
Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 5)
CAUTION:
Always be
sure that the fool is switched off and
unplugged
before adjuslingthe depth ofCut.
Place the tool on a flat surface. Press the lock lever
down andlowerthe tool body untilthe bit
just touches
the
flat surface. Release the lock lever to holdthe tool
body down. Turn [he fast-feed button cuunterdock-
wise
to loosen. While pressing the fast-feed button.
lower the stopper pole until
it makes contact with the
adjustinghex bolt. Align the depth pointerwththe
"0"
graduation. The depth of cut isindicated on the scale
by the depth pointer.While pressing the fast-feedbut-
ton. raise the stopper pole until the desired depth Of
Cut is obtained. Minute depth adjustments Can be
obtained
by turning the adjusting knob (1.6 mm Per
turn). Alter adjusting the depth
of cut. tUrn the fast-
feed button clockwise
to fasten the stopper Pole
firmly.
Now.
your predetermined depth of cut can be
obtained by pressingthe lock lever and then lowering
the lool body until the stopper pole makes CCntaCl
with ihe adjustinghex
bolt of the slopper block.
Nylon
nut (Fig. 6)
CAUTION:
DO not lower the nylon nut too low of the bit will pro-
trude dangerously.
6y turning the nylon nut. the upper limit of the tool
body can be adjusted. When the tip of the bit is
retracted more lhan required in relation to the base
plate surface. turn the nylon nut to lower the upper
limit.
CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
motor or difficulty incontrollingthe tool, the depth of
cui should not be more than 15 mm at a passwhen
cullinggrooveswith
an 8 mmdiameter bit.
When cvtting grooves with a 20 mm diameter bit.
the depth
of cut shouldnot bemore lhan 5 mmat a
Pa.
For extradeep grooving operation. make two or
three passeswith progressivelydeeper bit settings.
Stopper block (Fig. 7)
The stopper block has three adjusting hex bolts
which
raise or lower 0.8 mm per turn. You can easily
obtain three different depths
of cut using these
adjusting hex bolts without readjusting the stopper
pole.
Adjust :he lowest hex bolt to obtain the deepest 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
lo fhedifferencesin depths
of cu1.
To adjust the hex bolts, first loosen the hex nuts on
the hex bolts with the wrench and then turn the hex
boils. After obtaining the desired position. lighlen the
hex nuts while holding the hex
bolts in that desired
position.
The stopper block is also convenient for makingthree
passes with progressively deeper
bit setlings when
cutlingdeep grooves.

OPERATON (Fig. 8 h 9)
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut withod
the
bit makingany contact. Then turn the tool on and
wait unlil the bit attains
full speed. Lower the tool
body with pressing the lock lever down. Release the
lodc lever at the lowest position and push it hrtherto
lo& the tool body securely. Move the tool fonvard
over Ihe workpiece surface, keeping the tool base
flush
and advancingsmoothly untilthe culling is corn-
plele.
When doing edge cutling, the workpiece surface
should be on Ihe left side of the bit inthe
feed direc-
tion.
NOTE:
Make sure that the tool raises automatically when
the
lock lever is loosened. The position of the bit
mst be higher than the tool basewhen not operat-
ing.
Movingthe tool forward loo 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 win dependon 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.
Thii will show exaclly how the cut will look
as well as enable you to check dimensions.
When using the straight guide. be sure to install it
on the right side in the
feed direction. This will help
to keep it flush with the side of the workpb.
