OPERATION (Fig. 8)

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without

the bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and

wait until the bit attains full speed. Lower the tool

body with pressing the lock lever down. Release the

lock lever at the lowest position and push it further to

lock the tool body securely. Move the tool forward

over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base

flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is com-

plete.

When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface

should be on the left side of the bit in the feed direc-

tion.

NOTE:

• Make sure that the tool raises automatically when

the lock lever is loosened. The position of the bit

must be higher than the tool base when not operat-

ing.

• Moving the tool forward too 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.

• 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 workpiece.
