When using piloted bits only part of the edge of the workpiece can be cut since it is necessary to have the other part riding against the pilot.
WARNING: Never leave less than 1… 8" of the workpiece to ride against the pilot. Leaving less than 1… 8" could cause the edge to splinter possibly resulting in serious injury.
Adjust the right hand
Turn machine ON and allow it to come to full speed.
Place workpiece in first position (see Fig. 20). Using the starting pin as a support, swing workpiece into cutter (second position Fig. 20). When cut is started, press workpiece against piloted bit and swing workpiece away from starting pin. After the cut is started the piloted bit acts as a guide and not the starting pin. Feed workpiece against the direction of rotation of the cutter until complete edge is shaped. Slide workpiece away from cutter and turn machine OFF .
