OPERATION
For the trimmer base (Fig. 6)
WARNING:
• Before using the tool with the trimmer base, 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 direction. (Fig. 7)
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 sam-
ple 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. (Fig. 8)
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 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.
Templet guide
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with templet pat-
terns. (Fig. 9)
Loosen the screws and remove the base protector. Place
the templet guide on the base and replace the base pro-
tector. Then secure the base protector by tightening the
screws. (Fig. 10)
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on
the templet and move the tool with the templet guide slid-
ing along the side of the templet. (Fig. 11)
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 dis-
tance (X) can be calculated by using the following
equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide –
router bit diameter) / 2
Straight guide (Accessory)
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving. (Fig. 12)
Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with the bolt
and the wing nut. (Fig. 13)
Attach the straight guide with the clamp screw (A).
Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the
distance between the bit and the straight guide. At the
desired distance, tighten the wing nut securely.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece. (Fig. 14)
14
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 workpiece and use it as a guide
against the trimmer base. Feed the tool in the direction of
the arrow. (Fig. 15)
Circular work
Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the
straight guide and guide plate as shown in Fig. 16 or 17.
Min. and max. radius of circles to be cut (distance
between the centre of circle and the centre of bit) are as
follows:
Min.: 70 mm
Max.: 221 mm
Fig. 16 for cutting circles between 70 mm and 121 mm in
radius.
Fig. 17 for cutting circles between 121 mm and 221 mm
in radius.
NOTE:
• Circles between 172 mm and 186 mm in radius cannot
be cut using this guide.
Align the centre hole in the straight guide with the centre
of the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6 mm in
diameter into the centre hole to secure the straight guide.
Pivot the tool around the nail in clockwise direction.
(Fig. 18)
Trimmer guide (optional accessory)
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. (Fig. 19)
Install the trimmer guide on the tool base with the clamp
screw (A). Loosen the clamp screw (B) and adjust the
distance between the bit and the trimmer guide by turn-
ing the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At the desired
distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to secure the trim-
mer guide in place. (Fig. 20)
When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding
the side of the workpiece. (Fig. 21)
Tilt base (optional accessory)
Tilt base (optional accessory) is convenient for chamfer-
ing. (Fig. 22)
Place the tool onto the tilt base and close the locking
lever at the desired protrusion of the bit. For desired
angle, tighten the clamping screws on its sides.
Firmly clamp a straight board to the workpiece and use it
as a guide against the trimmer base. Feed the tool in the
direction of the arrow.
Base protector removed from the tilt base (optional
accessory)
Mounting the base protector which has been removed
from the tilt base on the trimmer base allows the change
of the trimmer base from the round base to a square
base.
For another application, remove the base protector from
the tilt base by loosening and removing four screws.
(Fig. 23)
And then mount the base protector on the trimmer base.
