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.
Trimmer guide
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.
Install the trimmer guide on the tool base with the clamp
screw (A). Loosen the clamp screw (B) and adjust the
distance between the bit and the trimmer guide by turn-
ing the adjusting screw (1 mm (3/64”) per turn). At the
desired distance, tighten the clamp screw (B) to secure
the trimmer guide in place.
When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding
the side of the workpiece.
