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:
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 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.

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 calculated
by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide -
router bit diameter) / 2
Straight guide (optional accessory)
011840
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with the bolt
and the wing nut.
