• Mount the cutting insert as described above.
• Set the required cutting width.
• Press the tool to a piece of soft wood and
carefully plunge the blade down through the
insert to produce a suitable slot in the insert.
Using the parallel fence (fig. G)
The parallel fence is used to groove parallel to the
edge of the workpiece.
• Mount the parallel fence as described above.
• Set the parallel fence to the correct distance.
Using the end marks (fig. A)
The end marks (11) are especially useful when
working on narrow workpieces and edges. The tool
is positioned by aligning the mark (11) with the edge
