2.
Turn the tool on and wait until the router bit attains
full speed.
3.
Lower the tool body and move the tool forward
over the workpiece surface, keeping the base flush and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
► Fig.23
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the router bit in the feed direction.

3. View from the top of the tool 4. Feed
direction
When using the straight guide or the trimmer guide,
be sure to keep it on the right side in the feed direc-
tion. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the
workpiece.

NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the router bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn
and mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the router bit
size, the kind of workpiece and depth of cut.
Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece,
make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber to
consider the appropriate feed speed.
You can also confirm the router bit setting by measur-
ing the sample cut.
Using the straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cut
when chamfering or grooving.
1.
Remove the clamping screw and the washer from
the guide holder.

2.
Loosen the adjusting screw to make a groove.
Fit the straight guide into the groove, then mount the
washer and tighten the clamping screw.

3.
Mount rod 8 to the slots in the guide holder and
tighten the clamping screws.

4.
Install the straight guide to the slots in the tool
base, and then tighten the clamping screws.
► Fig.29: 1. Slot 2. Clamping screw
5.
Loosen the clamping screw and adjust the dis-
tance between the router bit and the straight guide by
turning the adjusting screw (1.5 mm per turn). At the
desired distance, tighten the clamping screw to secure
the straight guide.

6.
Move the tool with the straight guide flush with the
side of the workpiece.
► Fig.31
Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be
made by using the convenient holes in the guide to bolt
on extra pieces of wood.
► Fig.32: 1. Wood 2. Straight guide
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 work-
piece and use it as a guide against the base. Feed the
tool in the direction of the arrow.

Using the fine adjusting straight
guide
Optional accessory
The fine adjusting straight guide can adjust the distance
more accurately than the straight guide.
► Fig.34: 1. Fine adjusting straight guide
1.
Mount rod 8 to the slots in the guide holder and
tighten the thumb screw (M5 x 14 mm).
2.
Install the fine adjusting straight guide to the tool
base. Tighten the clamping screws on the tool base.
3.
Loosen the thumb screw (M6 x 50 mm) and adjust
the distance between the router bit and the straight
guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At
the desired distance, tighten the thumb screw (M6 x 50
mm) to secure the straight guide.
The scale ring can be rotated separately from the
adjusting screw, so scale unit can be aligned to zero (0).

Adjusting guide shoe width
Guide shoe is adjustable in the range from 280 mm to
350 mm.
1.
Loosen the screws and move the guide shoe width
to adjust.
► Fig.36: 1. Screw
2.
After adjusting the width, tighten the screws.

Using the templet guide
The templet guide allows for repetitive cut with templet
patterns by using a templet.
1.
Loosen the screws on the tool base and remove
them.
2.
Place the templet guide on the base, and then
tighten the screws.
