If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece
and the cutting position is too wide for the straight
guide, or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, the
straight guide cannot be used.
In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the work-
piece and use it as a guide against the trimmer base.
Feed the tool in the direction of the arrow.

Using the straight guide for circular
work
For circular work, assemble the straight guide as shown
in the figures. The minimum and maximum radius of
circles to be cut (distance between the center of circle
and the center of bit) are as follows:
• Minimum: 70 mm (2-3/4")
• Maximum: 221 mm (8-11/16")
For cutting circles between 70 mm (2-3/4") and 121
mm (4-3/4") in radius.
► 1 . Center hole
For cutting circles between 121 mm (4-3/4") and 221
mm (8-11/16") in radius.
► 1 . Center hole
NOTE: Circles between 172 mm (6-3/4") and 186 mm
(7-5/16") in radius cannot be cut using this guide.
Align the center hole in the straight guide with the
center of the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6
mm (1/4") in diameter into the center hole to secure
the straight guide. Pivot the tool around the nail in the
clockwise direction.
