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.

NOTE:
When using the trimmer shoe, the straight guide
or the trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the
right side in the feed direction. This will help to
keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of
the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the
depth of cut should not be more than 3 mm at
a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish
to cut grooves more than 3 mm deep, make
several passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.
Templet guide
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with templet
patterns.
Remove the chip deflector.

NOTE:
The workpiece will be cut a slightly different
size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)
between the router bit and the outside of the
templet guide. The distance (X) can be calcu-
lated by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide -
router bit diameter) / 2
