Using The Template Guide; Switching On And Off; Making A Cut - GMC MAG2050R Handbuch

Note. With the dust cover in place it is not possible to use a
router bit with a cutting diameter greater than 27.4mm (1").

Using the template guide

The template guide can be used
in various ways:
• Producing duplicates of a
particular design of an
original shape.
• In conjunction with a template,
producing decorative features.
• Repetitive cutting shapes.
If you wish to make your own templates it is best to use a
hardwood such as plywood. Use a piece that is just thicker
than the depth of the template guide. Allow for the thickness
of the guide in your template to ensure that the work piece is
cut to the correct size.
1. To attach the template guide
(16) turn the router upside
down and remove the two
fixing screws in the centre of
the router base.
2. Insert the template guide into
the base of the router and
secure using the two fixing
screws supplied.
