OPERATION
CAUTION:
• Before operation, always make sure that the tool body automatically rises
to the upper limit and the bit does not protrude from the tool base when
the lock lever is loosened.
• Before operation, always make sure that the chip deflector is installed
properly.
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any con-
tact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Lower the
tool body and move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the
tool base flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side of
the bit in the feed direction.
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 straight guide or the trimmer guide, be sure to install it
on the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with
the side of the workpiece.
Straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts when chamfering or
grooving.
