The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the clamp-
ing screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the holes in the
tool base and tighten the clamping screw (A). To adjust the
distance between the bit and the straight guide, loosen the
clamping screw (B) and turn the fine adjusting screw (1.5
mm per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the clamping
screw (B) to secure the straight guide in place.
Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be made by using the
convenient holes in the guide to bolt on extra pieces of wood.

When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
If the distance 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.

When Router is Mounted
Insert the two rods (Rod 10) into the outer mounting
slots of the guide holder, and secure them by tightening
the two clamping screws (M15 x 14mm). Check to make
sure that the thumb nut (M6 x 50mm) is tightened down,
and then slide the router's base mounting unit onto the
two rods (Rod 10), and tighten the base's clamping
screws.
