GENERAL OPERATIONS WITH THE TRIM
Making test cuts is essential with most routing
applications. A test cut yields information
about the set-up, the speed of the tool, the
cutting depth, and how the cutter bit reacts to
the workpiece. Much of routing is a trial-and-
error process of making various adjustments,
followed by test cuts, while learning all of the
tool's operational abilities. To avoid ruining good
material, make test cuts on scrap material.
When operating the tool, always hold it firmly
with both hands to maintain proper control.
ROUTING WITH THE EDGE GUIDE
The edge guide can be used as an aid in
routing applications such as decorative edging,
straight-edge planning and trimming, grooving,
dadoing, and slotting.
Straight Routing (Fig. 20, 21, and 22)
1. Loosen the knob and slide the fence along
the arm of the edge guide. Once the desired
length is reached, tighten the knob (Fig. 20).
2. With the cutting depth set, place the tool on the
edge of the workpiece, making sure that the
cutter does not contact the workpiece (Fig. 21).
3. Turn the tool ON and allow it to reach its full
speed.
4. To begin the cut, gradually feed the cutter bit
into the edge of the workpiece.
5. Move the tool while keeping the edge guide
flush with the side of the workpiece.
6. When the cut is complete, turn the tool OFF
and allow the cutter bit to come to a complete
stop before removing it from the workpiece.
7. Remove the battery, place the tool upside-
down on the worktable, and inspect the
finished cut.
NOTE: Roundover bits with bearings are
excellent for shaping the edge of any workpiece
that is either straight or curved, if the curvature
is at least as great as the radius of the bit to be
used.
Always clamp the

NOTE: If the distance between the side of
the workpiece and the cutting position is too
wide for the edge guide, or if the side of the
workpiece is not straight, 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. 22).
