OPERATION
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. 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.

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.

NOTE:
• 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
(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:
• The workpiece will be cut a slightly different
size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the router bit and the outside of the
templet guide. The distance (X) can be calcu-
lated by using the following equation:
