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.
Install the trimmer guide on the guide holder with the
clamping 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 trimmer guide,
loosen the clamping screw (B) and turn the fine adjusting
screw (1.5 mm or 1/16" per turn). When adjusting the
guide roller up or down, loosen the clamping screw (C).
After adjusting, tighten all the clamping screws securely.
