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 (1/8") at a pass
when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut
grooves more than 3 mm (1/8") deep, make several
passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
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 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.
