NOTE:

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
4
to check dimensions.
When using the trimmer shoe, the straight guide or the trimmer guide, be
sure to keep it on the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep
it flush with the side of the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in
controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 3 mm at a
pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3
mm deep, make several passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
Templet guide
006639
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the bit passes, allowing
use of the trimmer with templet patterns.
