NOTE
:
Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a
poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit
or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut. The proper
feed
rate
will depend on the 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.
When using the trimmer shoe, the straight guide or the trimmer guide, be sure to keep
it
on the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the
workpiece.

:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the
tool, the depth of cut should not be more than
3
mm
(1/8")
at
a
pass when cutting
grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than
3
mm
(1/8")
deep, make several passes
with progressively deeper bit settings.
