3. Installcuttingbitinthe collolas shownin Fig.2.
4. Adjust depth of freehand sole plate as shown in Rg. 5.
5, Rest the edge of the sole plate on the workpiece with
the bitat an angle of about 45° (see Rg. 6),

cUTrlNG TIPS
The rotating cutting action of the bit willcause a slightpull
to the left when cutting. Natural variationsin the structure
of wood will cause the bitto "wander'. This tendency will
be magnified when applying too much pressure to the bit,
_ower cutting givoa you better control. Excessive
pressure or fast cuffing will increase bittemperature and
shorten _ life ofthebit.
When cutting a hole in e vertical surface, avoid ending the
cut at the bottom Ofthe hole. Always startand end the cut
at the "top" so the cut.out partwill not droponto the
rotating bit.Always turn the tool OFF before removing it
from the workpiece.
