Attach the straight guide with the clamp screw (A).
Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the
distance between the bit and the straight guide. At the
desired distance, tighten the wing nut securely.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece and
the cutting position is too wide for the straight guide, or if
the side of the workpiece is not straight, the straight
guide cannot be used. In this case, firmly clamp a
straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide
against the trimmer base. Feed the tool in the direction
of the arrow.
