Trimmer guide
Optional accessory
Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the
like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The
guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.

Install the trimmer guide on the guide holder using the
clamping screw (D). Insert the guide holder into the holes
in the tool base and tighten the clamping screw (A). To
adjust the distance between the router bit and the trimmer
guide, loosen the clamping screw (D) and turn the fine
adjusting screw (1.5 mm per turn). When adjusting the
guide roller up or down, loosen the clamping screw (C).
After adjusting, tighten all the clamping screws securely.

How to use screw M6 x 135 for
adjusting the depth of cut
When using the tool with a router table available in the
market, using this screw allows an operator to obtain
a small amount of adjustment of the depth of cut from
above the table.
Installing the screw with washer on
the tool
Insert the screw with washer through a screw hole on
the tool base and then screw in the threaded part of the
motor bracket of the tool. At this time, apply some grease
or lubricating oil to the inside of the screw hole on the tool
base and the threaded part of the motor bracket.

Adjusting the depth of cut
1. A small amount of depth of cut can be obtained
by turning this screw with a screwdriver from above the
table. (1.0 mm per a full turn)
2. Turning the screw clockwise makes the depth
of cut greater and turning the screw counterclockwise
makes the depth of cut smaller.
