The router bit must extend below the flange of
the template guide, to cut the workpiece in the
shape of the template.
Using the distance piece (fig. N)
The distance piece can be used for trimming
wooden or laminate vertical projections.
Using the centring pin (fig. O)
The centring pin can be used to cut out circular
patterns.
Drill a hole for the point of the centring pin in
the centre of the circle to be cut.
Place the router on the workpiece with the
point of the centring pin in the drilled hole.
Adjust the radius of the circle with the bars of
the edge guide.
The router can now be moved over the
workpiece to cut out the circle.
Using the copy follower (fig. P)
The copy follower helps to maintain an equal
cutting distance along the edge of irregularly
shaped workpieces.
Place the router on the workpiece at the
desired distance from the edge to be copied.
Adjust the bars of the edge guide until the
wheel is in contact with the workpiece.
Switching on and off (fig. A)

Hints for optimum use
When working on outside edges, move the
tool counterclockwise (fig. J). When working on
inside edges, move the tool clockwise.
Use HSS router bits for softwood.
Use TCT router bits for hardwood.
You can use the tool without a guide (fig. K).
This is useful for signwriting and creative work.
