Switch action
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger
and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.

CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
trigger switch actuates properly and returns to the “OFF”
position when released.
Operation
Rest the front end of the base on the workpiece surface
with the guide rule contacting flush with the side of the
workpiece and without the cutter blade making any
contact with the workpiece. Switch on and wait until the
cutter blade attains full speed. Then move the tool gently
forward.
(Fig. 11)
NOTE:
If the tool is tilted at the start or the end of cutting, the end
of the workpiece will be badly gouged. Hold the base of
the tool flush with the workpiece at all times.
Shiplapping rule
Attach the shiplapping rule to the guide rule and slide the
guide rule into the base of the tool. Move the guide rule to
set the cutting width, i.e., the protrusion of the cutter blade
in relation to the side of the shiplapping rule.
