CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
•
motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of
cut should not be more than 3 mm at a pass when
cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves
more than 3 mm deep, make several passes with
progressively deeper bit settings.
Templet guide
001986
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with templet
patterns.
Remove the tool base from the tool. Loosen the wing
bolts and secure the tool base horizontally. Loosen the
two screws on the tool base.

NOTE:
The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size
•
from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the router bit and the outside of the
templet guide. The distance (X) can be calculated
by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide -
router bit diameter) / 2
Straight guide (optional accessory)
001989
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with the bolt,
the wave washer, the flat washer and the wing nut.
