CAUTION:
• Before operation, always make sure that the tool body
automatically rises to the upper limit and the bit does not
protrude from the tool base when the lock lever is
loosened.
• Before operation, always make sure that the chip
deflector is installed properly.
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit
making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the
bit attains full speed. Lower the tool body and move the tool
forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base
flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be
on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.

• 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 straight guide or the trimmer guide, be
sure to install it on the right side in the feed direction.
This will help to keep it flush with the side of the
workpiece.
