OPERATION

CAUTION:
Before operation, always make sure that the tool
•
body automatically rises to the upper limit and the
bit does not protrude from the tool base when the
lock knob is loosened.
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:
Make sure that the dust guide is installed properly.
•
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, 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

005094
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
To install the straight guide, insert the guide bars into the
holes in the tool base. Adjust the distance between the
bit and the straight guide. At the desired distance,
tighten the lock screw to secure the straight guide in
place.

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
guide cannot be used. In this case, firmly clamp a
straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide
against the router base. Feed the tool in the direction of
the arrow.
