WARNING:

 Remove the plug from 

the power source before assembly, 
changing accessories or cutters and 
making adjustments. This will prevent 
accidental starting of the tool which 
could result in serious injury. 
 
INSTALLING THE ASSIST HANDLE 

 
The removable assist handle is designed 
for use when precision control over the tool 
movement is desired. Use the assist 
handle when operating the tool with either 
the freehand cutting guide or the circle 
cutting guide. 
 

1. 

Open the mounting collar (1) by 
pulling the quick release lever (2) 
outward (Fig. 1). 

 

2. 

Slide the mounting collar onto the 
bottom of motor housing (2). Make 
sure the key (3) on the motor housing 
is aligned with the matching keyway in 
the mounting collar. 

 

3. 

When the key and keyway are 
aligned, slide the mounting collar fully 
onto the motor housing and then 
rotate the collar clockwise 
approximately 10° to lock the key and 
keyway. 

 

NOTE:

 The mounting bracket must be 

pushed onto the motor housing as far as it 
will go. 

 

4.  Press the quick release lever inward 

toward the mounting collar to finish 
locking the mounting collar onto the 
motor housing.
