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 distance (X) can be calculated by using the fol-
lowing 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.
Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with the bolt,
the wave washer, the flat washer and the wing nut.
Loosen the wing bolts and secure the tool base horizon-
tally. 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.
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.
Circular work
Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the
straight guide and guide plate as shown in the figures.
Min. and max. radius of circles to be cut (distance
between the center of circle and the center of bit) are as
follows:
Min.: 70 mm (2-3/4)
Max.: 221 mm (8-11/16)
For cutting circles between 70 mm (2-3/4) and 121 mm
(4-3/4) in radius.
For cutting circles between 121 mm (4-3/4) and 221 mm
(8-11/16) in radius.
NOTE:
Circles between 172 mm (6-3/4) and 186 mm (7-5/
16) in radius cannot be cut using this guide.
Align the center hole in the straight guide with the center
of the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6 mm (1/4)
in diameter into the center hole to secure the straight
guide. Pivot the tool around the nail in clockwise direc-
tion.
