Using the parallel ruler
The parallel ruler is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving. Adjust the distance
between the trimmer bit and the parallel ruler. At the
desired distance, tighten the wing bolts to secure the
parallel ruler. When cutting, move the tool with the
parallel ruler flush with the side of the workpiece.
► Fig.70
If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece
and the cutting position is too wide for the parallel ruler,
or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, the parallel
ruler cannot be used.
In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the work-
piece and use it as a guide against the plunge base.
Feed the tool in the direction of the arrow.

it.
