OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Installing or removing trimmer bit (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged be-
fore installing or removing the bit.
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.
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.
6. Adjusting bit protrusion (Fig. 2 & 3)
To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the lever and move the tool
base up or down as desired by pressing and turning the adjust-
ing roller. After adjusting, tighten the lever firmly to secure the
tool base.
7. Switch action (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always be sure that the tool is
switched off.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the “I” (ON) position.
To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the “0” (OFF) position.
The tool equipped with electronic function is easy to operate
because of the following features.
8. Operation
•
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the
bit making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait
until the bit attains full speed. Move the tool forward over
the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
•
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be
on the left side of the bit in the feed direction. (Fig. 5)
NOTE:
•
Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor qual-
ity 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. (Fig. 6)
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 at a pass when cutting grooves. When
you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm deep, make several
passes with progressively deeper bit settings
9. Straight guide
The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts when
chamfering or grooving. (Fig. 7)
Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with the bolt and
the wing nut. (Fig. 8)
Attach the straight guide with the clamp screw (A). Loosen the
wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the distance between
the bit and the straight guide. At the desired distance, tighten
the wing nut securely. (Fig. 9)
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush with
the side of the workpiece.
If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece and the
cutting position is too wide for the straight guide, or if the side
of the workpiece is not straight, the straight guide cannot be
used. In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the work-
piece and use it as a guide against the trimmer base. Feed the
tool in the direction of the arrow. (Fig. 10)
10. Circular work
•
Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the
straight guide and guide plate as shown in Fig. 11 or 12.
Fig. 11 for cutting circles between 70 mm and 121 mm
in radius.
Fig. 12 for cutting circles between 121 mm and 221 mm in
radius.
NOTE:
Circles between 172 mm and 186 mm in radius cannot be cut
using this guide.
•
Min. and max. radius of circles to be cut (distance be-
tween the centre of circle and the centre of bit) are as
follows:
Min.:
70 mm
Max.:
221 mm
Align the centre hole in the straight guide with the centre of the
circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6 mm in diameter into the
centre hole to secure the straight guide. Pivot the tool around
the nail in clockwise direction. (Fig. 13)
11. Trimmer guide
Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the like can
be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide roller rides the
curve and assures a fine cut. (Fig. 14)
Install the trimmer guide on the tool base with the clamp screw
(A). Loosen the clamp screw (B) and adjust the distance be-
tween the bit and the trimmer guide by turning the adjusting
screw (1 mm per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the
clamp screw (B) to secure the trimmer guide in place. (Fig. 15)
When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding the side
of the workpiece. (Fig. 16)
