Always use both grips and firmly hold the tool by both

grips during operations.

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 and

move the tool forward over the workpiece surface,

keeping the tool base flush and advancing smoothly until

the cutting is complete.

When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should

be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.

NOTE:

• 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 or the trimmer 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.

Straight guide

009859

The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts

when chamfering or grooving.

Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the

clamping screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the

holes in the tool base and tighten the clamping screw (A).

To adjust the distance between the bit and the straight

guide, loosen the clamping screw (B) and turn the fine

adjusting screw (1.5 mm or about 1/16" per turn). At the

desired distance, tighten the clamping screw (B) to

secure the straight guide in place.

Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be

made by using the convenient holes in the guide to bolt

When using a large diameter bit, attach pieces of wood

to the straight guide which have a thickness of more

than 15 mm (5/8") to prevent the bit from striking the

straight guide.

When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush

with the side of the workpiece.

If the distance 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
