Attach the straight guide with the clamp screw (A).
Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the
distance between the bit and the straight guide. At the
desired distance, tighten the wing nut securely.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
If the distance (A) 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
guide cannot be used. In this case, firmly clamp a straight
board to the workpiece and use it as a guide against the
trimmer base. Feed the tool in the direction of the arrow.

Trimmer guide

Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the
like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide
roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.
Install the trimmer guide on the tool base with the clamp
screw (A). Loosen the clamp screw (B) and adjust the
distance between the bit and the trimmer guide by
turning the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At the
desired distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to secure
the trimmer guide in place.
