Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.

The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as well as enable you to check dimensions. • When using the straight guide, be sure to install it on the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece. 10
