(3) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction
indicated on the base). To obtain maximum
conformance with the feed directions shown
in Fig. 16.
NOTE:
Moving the tool forward fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the bit or
motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut.
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.
Abnormalities and overloads will trigger the overload protector, and stop operation.
Remove the load immediately, and turn the power off, then on. The rotation speed
should return to normal.
Do not use a power generator as the power source. It may cause the rotation speed to
fluctuate.
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.
