Fig. 14 for cutting circles between 121 mm and
221 mm in radius.
Note:
Circles between 172 mm and 186 mm in radius
cannot be cut using this guide.
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
Max.: 221 mm
Align the center hole in the straight guide with the
center of the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than
6 mm in diameter into the center hole to secure the
straight guide. Pivot the tool around the nail in clock-
wise direction.
Trimmer guide (Fig. 16, 17 & 18)
Trimming, curved cuts inveneers for furniture and the
like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The
guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.

horizontally. Install the trimmerguide on the tool base
with theclamp screw(A). Loosen theclamp screw(B)
and adjust the distance between the bit and the
trimmer guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm
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.

two screws on the tool base.
Place the templet guide on the tool base. There are four convex portions on the templet guide. Secure two of
the four convex portions using the two screws. Install the tool base on the tool.
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 willbe cut a slightly different size fromthe templet.Allow for thedistance (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
