Using the parallel ruler
The parallel ruler is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving. Adjust the distance
between the bit and the parallel ruler. At the desired
distance, tighten the wing bolts to secure the parallel
ruler. When cutting, move the tool with the parallel ruler
flush with the side of the workpiece.
► Fig.67
If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece
and the cutting position is too wide for the parallel ruler,
or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, the parallel
ruler cannot be used.
In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the work-
piece and use it as a guide against the plunge base.
Feed the tool in the direction of the arrow.

Changing knob type grip to bar type
grip
To install the bar type grip on the plunge base, loosen
the screw of the knob type grip, then remove the knob
type grip, and then install the bar type grip by tightening
it.
