Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit.
It can lead to breakage of the collet cone.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone and tighten
the collet nut securely with the two wrenches.
An 8 mm collet cone may be also provided as a standard
equipment (depending on the country) besides the 6 mm
or 1/4" collet cone that is factory installed on the tool.
Use the correct size collet cone for the bit which you
intend to use.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
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. Lower the tool body and
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.
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 straight guide, be sure to install it
on the right side in the feed direction. This will help
to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.

To install the straight guide, insert the guide bars into the
holes in the tool base. Adjust the distance between the bit
and the straight guide. At the desired distance, tighten the
wing bolts to secure the straight guide in place.
When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush
with the side of the workpiece.
