ROUTING GROOVES PARALLEL TO AN EDGE

See Figures 13 and 14.

You can use the scale provided on the subbase accessory to cut a straight parallel line up to 1 in. (25.4 mm) from the edge of your workpiece.

■The intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines at the center of the subbase accessory indicates the cen- ter of your cutter. This is also the center of groove being cut.

■If you have purchased an optional straight guide, place cutter at desired position on the workpiece and make your cut from left to right as shown by the arrow in figure 13.

■In this case the thrust is from straight guide towards the cutter or trimmer.

■For grooves more than 1 in. (25.4 mm) from the edge of workpiece, align the center of desired groove on workpiece with centerline on subbase accessory. Then measure from the centerline on subbase accessory to the guiding portion of straight guide. Tighten knob on the straight guide securely.

■If you are using "C" clamps and a board to act as your straight edge, place cutter at desired position on the workpiece and make your cut from right to left as shown by the arrow in figure 16.

■Note: The board being used as a straight edge must be 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) thick or less to prevent contact with trimmer base. It must also be at least as long as the workpiece in order to be a guide.

■In this case the thrust is from your trimmer against the straight edge.

■As mentioned previously, do not make too heavy of a cut in one pass. If a deep cut is required, make suc- cessive passes at increasing depths with each new pass until you reach the desired groove depth.
