lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as
well as enable you to check dimensions.
• When using the straight guide, be sure to install it on
the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep
it flush with the side of the workpiece. (Fig. 7)
Straight guide (Fig. 8)
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
To install the straight guide, insert the guide bars into the
holes in the tool base. Adjust the distance between the bit
and the straight guide. At the desired distance, tighten the
wing bolts to secure the straight guide in place. (Fig. 9)
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
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 router
base. Feed the tool in the direction of the arrow. (Fig. 10)
Templet guide (Accessory) (Fig. 11)
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the bit
passes, allowing use of the tool with templet patterns.
To install the templet guide, loosen the screws on the tool
base, insert the templet guide and then tighten the
screws. (Fig. 12)
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on the
templet and move the tool with the templet guide sliding
along the side of the templet. (Fig. 13)
NOTE:
• The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from
the templet. Allow for the distance (X) between the bit
and the outside of the templet guide. The distance (X)
can be calculated by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide -
bit diameter) / 2
Dust nozzle set (Accessory) (Fig. 14 & 15)
Use the dust nozzle for dust extraction. Install the dust
nozzle on the tool base using the thumb screw so that
protrusion on the dust nozzle fit to the notch in the tool
base.
Then connect a vacuum cleaner to the dust nozzle.
