To install the straight guide, insert the guide bars into
the holes in the plunge base. Adjust the distance

distance, tighten the wing bolts to secure the straight
guide in place.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
Fig.41
If the distance (A) 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

Templet guide (optional accessory)
Fig.42
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the tool with templet patterns.
To install the templet guide, loosen the screws on the
tool base, insert the templet guide and then tighten the
screws.
Fig.43
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on
the templet and move the tool with the templet guide
sliding along the side of the templet.
Fig.44
NOTE:
The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size
•
from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the 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 - bit diameter) / 2
