NOTE:

• When using the trimmer shoe, the straight guide or the
trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right side in the

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 work-
piece and use it as a guide against the trimmer base. Feed
the tool in the direction of the arrow.
