CUTTING WITH A TEMPLATE
The included template guide is designed to fit the base of the router to
accurately duplicate curves and other shapes. You can also purchase the
template guide adapter (6033TGA) with a center hole diameter of 1-3/16"
from wenproducts.com, to fit other template guides and bushings.
1. Remove the four M5 X 10 screws (Part No. 6033-076) holding the
plastic base plate, and remove the base plate.
2. Place the template guide or template guide adapter in the recess on the
opposite side of the base plate and tighten with the M4 X 25 screws (Part
No. 6033-073). Ensure the template guide protrudes below the bottom of
the base, allowing the router to follow the template (Fig. 23).
CUTTING ALONG A PROFILE
The profile guide helps to maintain an equal cutting distance along the
edge of an irregularly shaped workpiece.
1. Unscrew the four screws and remove the two sliding pads on the fence
bracket (Fig. 20).
2. Mount the profile guide in the center of the fence as shown (Fig. 21)
with the sliding wheel protruding outside and downwards. Tighten down
with the profile guide with screws.
3. Place the router on the workpiece at the desired distance from the edge
to be copied.
4. Insert the fence poles into the holes on the router base and adjust until
the wheel is in contact with the workpiece. Tighten all the locking knobs.

3. Place the plastic base plate back onto the base of the router and tighten with the four screws (Fig. 23).
The template can be created with a jigsaw to guide your desired cut. The template should be thick enough to allow
for the protrusion of the guide. When creating the template, account for the distance between the cutting edge of
the bit and the outer edge of the protruding circle. NOTE: The template must be securely fixed to the workpiece
and firm pressure should be applied to the router throughout the cut to ensure that the edge of the guide accurately
follows the template.
