Warning:
Before using the tool with the trimmer baser, always install the dust nozzle on the trimmer
base.
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any contact. Then turn the
tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Move the tool forward over the workpiece
surface. Keeping the tool base flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side of the bit in the feed
diretion.

Caution
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor of 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.
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 or may 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 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 workpiece.
Templet guide

Note:
The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from the templet. Allow for the
distance (X) between the router bit and the outside of the templet guide. The distance
(X) can be calculated by using the following education. Distance (X) = (outside
diameter of the templet guide - router bit diameter) / 2
