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.
• 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 (1/8") at a pass when cutting
grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm
(1/8") deep, make several passes with progressively
deeper bit settings.
