ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing trimmer bit
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit,
or the collet cone will break.
Use only the wrenches provided with the tool.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone and tighten
the collet nut securely with the two wrenches. To remove
the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.
Installing trimmer shoe
(after it has been removed from the tool)
NOTE:
The trimmer shoe is factory installed on the tool.
Use the bolts, wing nuts, spring washers and flat wash-
ers to install the trimmer shoe as shown in the figure.
OPERATION
Turn the tool on without the bit making any contact with
the workpiece and wait until the bit attains full speed.
Then move the tool over the workpiece surface, keeping
the tool base and trimmer shoe flush with the sides of the
workpiece.
NOTE:
This tool can be used as a conventional trimmer
when you remove the trimmer shoe.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.
NOTE:
Moving the tool forward too 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.
When using the trimmer shoe, the straight guide or
the trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right
side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it
flush with the side of the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the
motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of
cut should not be more than 3 mm (1/8) at a pass
when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut
grooves more than 3 mm (1/8) deep, make several
passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
