ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS

CUTTING ALONG A STRAIGHT EDGE

What you’ll need:

•  Straight Fence Guide

•  Workpiece with a Straight Edge

The straight guide fence is used to create straight cuts along a 

workpiece with a straight edge that can be followed. To attach the 

straight cut fence:

1. Attach the straight fence guide (Fig. 7 - 1) to the straight base 

by loosening the guide knob on the straight base (Fig. 7 - 2).  Align 

the straight fence guide with the straight base and tighten the guide 

knob.

2. Adjust the offset distance of the straight fence by loosing the 

straight fence knob (Fig. 7 - 3) and adjusting the position of the 

fence. Tighten the straight fence knob at the desired position.  Make 

sure all adjustment knobs are securely tightened before operating 

the trim router.

3. Slide the fence along the straight reference edge of your work-

piece, moving the router along the edge in a straight line.

CUTTING ALONG A PROFILE

What you’ll need:

•  Trim Guide

The trim guide helps maintain an equal cutting distance along the 

edge of an irregularly shaped workpiece.

1. Mount the trim guide (Fig. 8 - 1) to the straight base by loosening 

the guide knob (Fig. 8 - 2) on the base and sliding the trim guide 

into the alignment slots at the rear of the straight base. Tighten the 

guide knob to secure the trim guide. 

2. The trim guide can be adjusted to different vertical depths de-

pending on router bit length and workpiece thickness. Loosen the 

guide knob (Fig. 8 - 2) on the base and slide the trim guide to the 

desired height.  Make sure to securely tighten the guide knob before 

using the trim router.  

3. The trim guide bearing can be adjusted to different lateral depths 

depending on the diameter of the router bit and the desired lateral 

depth of cut. To adjust the lateral depth of the trim guide, first loos-

en the locking knob (Fig. 8 - 3) on the bottom of the trim guide. To 

set the lateral depth, rotate the lateral adjustment knob (Fig. 8 - 4) 

to the desired position. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the lat-

eral cutting depth and counterclockwise decrease the cutting depth. 

4. Make sure that all adjustment knobs are securely tightened be-

fore operating the trim router.
