CIRCLE CUTTING GUIDE OPERATION –
cont'd
3. Adjust the circle cutting guide radius
by loosening the pivot point knob,
sliding it to the correct circle radius
and re-tightening in the desired
location.
NOTE: Check the circle cutting guide
radius setting by measuring from the pivot
point to the outside of the spiral bit.
4. Rest the edge of the freehand cutting
guide on the workpiece with the bit at
an angle of about 45° (Fig. 13). Insert
the circle cutting guide pivot point into
the pilot hole drilled at the centre of
the circle.
NOTE: DO NOT let the bit touch the
workpiece before switch is turned ON and
the tool is up to full speed.
5. Turn the switch ON.
6. When the motor is up to full speed,
slowly tip the tool and circle cutting
guide assembly to an upright position,
letting the bit cut into the workpiece
(Fig. 14). Be careful to keep the pivot
point located at the centre of the circle
to be cut. Once the tool has reached
the upright position and the bit has cut
through the workpiece, slowly move
the tool in a clockwise direction using
slow steady pressure to make the cut.
Continue to cut the circle, keeping the
tool upright and rotating around the
circle cutting guide pivot point.
7. When cut is complete, turn the tool
OFF, wait until it comes to a complete
stop and remove it from the
workpiece.
