NOTE:
• Circles between 172 mm and 186 mm in radius
cannot be cut using this guide.
► Fig.19: 1. Nail 2. Center hole 3. Straight guide
Align the center hole in the straight guide with the cen-
ter 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.
Trimmer guide (optional accessory)
► Fig.20
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.
► Fig.21: 1. Clamp screw (A) 2. Adjusting screw
3. Clamp screw (B) 4. Trimmer guide
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 workpiece.
Tilt base (optional accessory)
Tilt base (optional accessory) is convenient for
chamfering.
► Fig.23: 1. Clamping screws
Place the tool onto the tilt base and close the locking
lever at the desired protrusion of the bit. For desired
angle, tighten the clamping screws on its sides.
Firmly clamp a straight board to the workpiece and use
it as a guide against the tilt base. Feed the tool in the
direction of the arrow.
Base protector removed from the tilt
base (optional accessory)
Mounting the base protector which has been removed
from the tilt base on the trimmer base allows the change
of the trimmer base from the round base to a square
base.
For another application, remove the base protector from
the tilt base by loosening and removing four screws.

Mount the tool on the offset base
► Fig.30: 1. Pulley 2. Belt
Put an end of the belt over the pulley using a screw-
driver and make sure that its entire belt width fits over
the pulley completely.
► Fig.31: 1. Locking lever 2. Offset base
Secure it with a locking lever on the offset base.
► Fig.32: 1. Wrench 2. Hex wrench 3. Bit
To install the bit, fall the tool with the offset base on its
side. Insert the hex wrench into the hole in the offset
base.
With the hex wrench held in that position, insert the bit
into the collet cone on the shaft of the offset base from
the opposite side and tighten the collet nut firmly with
a wrench.
To remove the bit at replacement, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
(2) Offset base (optional accessory) can also be
used with a trimmer base and a grip attach-
ment (optional accessory) for more stability.
