OPERATION
NOTE: Before cutting on the actual
workpiece, it is recommended to make a
sample cut. The proper feed speed depends
on the trimmer bit size, the kind of workpiece,
and depth of cut. Moving the tool forward too
fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or cause
damage to the bit or motor.
Moving the tool forward too slowly may
burn and mar the cutting surface. 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.
NOTICE: 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 at a pass when
cutting grooves. When you wish to cut
grooves more than 3 mm deep, make sever-
al passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.
USING THE STRAIGHT GUIDE
1. Assemble the straight guide with the bolt
and the wing nut.
2. Attach the straight guide to the trimmer
base with the clamp screw.
3. Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide
and adjust the distance between the bit and
the straight guide. At the desired distance,
tighten the wing nut.

4. Move the tool with the straight guide
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
clamp a straight board to the workpiece
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
and maximum radius of circles to be cut
(distance between the center of circle and
the center of bit) are as follows:
• Minimum: 2-1/2"
• Maximum: 8-11/16"
For cutting circles between 2-1/2" and 4-5/8"
in radius.
