NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the router bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn
and mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on
the router bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth
of cut.
Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it
is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap
lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as
well as enable you to check dimensions.
NOTE: When using the straight guide or the trimmer
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.

Straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts
when chamfering or grooving.
1. Install the straight guide on the guide holder using
the clamping screw (B). Insert the guide holder into the
holes in the tool base and tighten the clamping screw
(A). To adjust the distance between the router bit and
the straight guide, loosen the clamping screw (B) and
turn the fine adjusting screw (1.5 mm per turn). At the
desired distance, tighten the clamping screw (B) to
secure the straight guide in place.

2. When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide
flush with the side of the workpiece.
Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be
made by using the convenient holes in the guide to bolt
on extra pieces of wood.
When using a large diameter router bit, attach pieces
of wood to the straight guide which have a thickness of
more than 15 mm (5/8") to prevent the router bit from
striking the straight guide.

A=55 mm (2-3/16")
B=55 mm (2-3/16")
C=15 mm (5/8") or thicker
If the distance 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
base. Feed the tool in the direction of the arrow.

Fine adjusting straight guide
Optional accessory
Insert the two rods into the outer mounting slots of the
guide holder, and secure them by tightening the two
clamping screws (B). Make sure that the thumb screw
(A) is tightened down, insert the two rods into the base,
and tighten the clamping screws (A).

3. Scale ring
1. Loosen the thumb screw (A).
2. Turn the thumb screw (B) to adjust position (one
turn adjusts the position by 1 mm) as necessary.
3. Tighten the thumb screw (A) until it is secured.
Scale ring can be rotated separately, so scale unit can
be aligned to zero (0).
Adjusting guide shoe width
Loosen the screws marked by the circles to alter the
width of the straight guide. After altering width, tighten
the screws until they are secured.
Guide shoe width alteration range is 280 mm to 350
mm.

Templet guide
Optional accessory
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
router bit passes, allowing use of the router with templet
patterns.

1. Pull the lock plate lever and insert the templet
guide.

2. 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.

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 following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet
guide - router bit diameter) / 2
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.
