some scraps of material that are the same
material as will be used in your actual
project.
1. Draw a pattern similar to your first
project on a scrap piece of material.
2. Install the assist handle and the
freehand cutting guide as shown in
Fig. 1 & 2.
3. Install cutting bit in the collet as shown
in Fig. 3.
4. Adjust depth of freehand cutting guide
as shown in Fig. 7.
5. Set the speed control switch to the
appropriate speed.
6. Rest the edge of the cutting guide on
the workpiece with the bit at an angle
of about 45° (Fig. 8).
NOTE: DO NOT let the bit come into
contact with the workpiece until the power
switch is turned ON and the tool is up to
full speed.
