Makita 3709 - Trimmer Guide Operation

10
Align the center hole in the straight guide with the center of the circle to be cut.
Drive a nail less than 6 mm in diameter into the center hole to secure the
straight guide. Pivot the tool around the nail in clockwise direction.
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 tool base with the clamp screw (A). Loosen the
clamp screw (B) and adjust the distance between the bit and the trimmer guide
by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At the desired distance, tighten
the clamp screw (B) to secure the trimmer guide in place.
When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding the side of the work-
piece.
