Instruction & User Manual
Using the tool with the
trimmer base
m
Set the tool base on the workpiece without
the trimmer bit making any contact. Turn
the tool on and wait until the bit attains full
speed. Move the tool forward over the
workpiece surface. Keep the tool base flush
while moving the tool.
m
When cutting the edge, be sure to keep the
workpiece surface on the left side of the
trimmer bit in the feed direction.
m
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.
Using the straight guide
m
Optional accessory
1. Assemble the straight guide with the bolt and the
wing nut.
2. Attach the straight guide to the trimmer base with
the clamp screw.
OPERATION
Before cutting on the actual workpiece, it is
recommended to make a sample cut. The
proper feed speed depends on the trimmer
bit size, the kind of workpiece, and depth of
cut. 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 cutting surface.
NOTE
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.
