Before cutting on the actual workpiece, it is recommended to make a sample cut. The
proper feed speed depends on the trimmer bit size, the kind of workpiece, and depth of cut.
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 cutting surface.
NOTE
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.
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 at a pass when cutting grooves. When you
wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm deep, make
several passes with progressively deeper
bit settings.

5. 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.
