• 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.
• When using the straight guide or the trimmer guide, be sure to install it
on the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with
the side of the workpiece.
Straight guide (optional accessory)
003677
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts when chamfering or
grooving.
Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the wing bolt (B). Insert the
003683
guide holder into the holes in the tool base and tighten the wing bolt (A). To
adjust the distance between the bit and the straight guide, loosen the wing bolt
(B) and turn the fine adjusting screw (1.5 mm per turn). At the desired dis-
tance, tighten the wing bolt (B) to secure the straight guide in place.
