Using the template guide
The template guide (17) can be used in various ways:
Producing duplicates of a
particular design
of an original shape
In conjunction with a
template, producing
decorative features
Repetitive cutting shapes
If you wish to make your own
templates it is best to use a
hardwood such as plywood. Use a piece that is just thicker
than the depth of the template guide. Allow for the
thickness of the guide in your template to ensure that the
workpiece is cut to the correct size.
NOTE. Always use the dust extraction adaptor when
working with the template guide.
Maintenance
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They
may vibrate loose over time.
Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has
entered the grills near the motor and around the switches.
Use a soft brush to remove any accumulated dust. Wear
safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning.
Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft
damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but nothing like
alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with the
tool.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be
carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent,
or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety
hazard.
