OPERATION
CAUTION:
Before operation, always make
sure that the tool body automatically rises to
the upper limit and the router bit does not pro-
trude from the tool base when the lock lever is
loosened.
CAUTION:
Before operation, always make
sure that the chip deflector is installed properly.

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without
the router bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on
and wait until the router 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 router bit in the feed direction.

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, 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.
NOTE: 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.

thumb screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes
in the tool base and tighten the thumb screw (A). To
adjust the distance between the router bit and the
