Alternative Guide Method
You can make a straight cut which does not parallel the edge of the workpiece by clamping down a temporary guide.
1.Clamp a suitable straight board across the workpiece parallel to the desired location of the cut.
2.Assemble the Straight Guide Assy. (44) with the Straight Guide (442) facing outward and up, as shown to the right.
3.After measuring the proper distance from the router bit to the guide, tighten the straight guide using the thumbscrew Knobs.
4.On a piece of scrap material make a test cut to ensure that your measurement is correct.
(A)
(44)(442)
5.Using the Straight Guide to follow the straight board, make your cut parallel to the guide.
Making Circle Cuts
The center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy (44), shown above, can be used as a pivot point to make circle cuts.
1.Install the Straight Guide Assy as shown above.
2.Drill a small pilot hole at the center point of the circle you wish to cut.
3.Set the distance from the center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy (44) to the router bit equal to the radius of the circle you wish to cut. Lock the Straight Guide in place with the thumbscrew Knobs.
4.Insert a pin (not included) through the center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy., and into the pilot hole.
5.With the pin located in the pilot hole, plunge the trimmer into the workpiece, and rotate the trimmer in a circle around the pilot hole.
Using the Trimmer Guide Assembly
1.Assemble the edge Trimmer Guide Assembly (42), as shown to the right, and attach to the Base (32).
2.Since you will be trimming in relation to both the top surface, and the edge surface, you must adjust the trimmer to cut accurately in two dimensions.
3.Adjust the Base on the Trimmer so the cutting depth will be flush with the surface of the counter top or edge that you will be trimming to match.
