ASSEMBLY
WARNING:
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your trimmer could result in
accidental starting causing serious injury.
WARNING:
If installing a cutter for the first time, it can be installed
once the collet nut is loose. If changing cutters, cutter
will easily slip from collet after loosening collet nut.
The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit
cutters with 6.35 mm diameter shanks.
With your trimmer still upside down on a workbench,
insert shank of cutter into collet. The shank of your
cutter should be close to but not touching the bottom of
the collet. This allows for expansion when the cutter
gets hot.
Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise
with the wrench provided.
TO SET
THE
DEPTH OF CUT (Fig. 2)
UNPLUG YOUR TRIMMER
Loosen the wing bolt and move the base until the tip of
cutter touches the work surface. The depth of cut is
zero at this point.
Position your trimmer so that the cutter can extend
below the sub base for desired depth of cut setting.
Move the base to obtain the desired depth of cut. The
distance the cutter moves will be indicated on the
depth of cut scale. Each mark on the scale indicates a
1.6 mm change in depth setting. Indicator points are
located on the base.
Securely tighten the wing bolt.

If you are changing a cutter immediately after
use, be careful not to touch the cutter or collet
with your hands or fingers. They may get burnt

Your trimming and routing kit should never be
connected to a power supply when you are
assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing cutters, or when not in
use. Disconnecting your trimmer will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious
injury.
WARNING:
If collet nut is not tightened securely, cutter
may come out during use, causing serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Avoid open area of trimmer base. Serious
personal injury will result from contact with a
rotating cutter.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your trimmer could result in
accidental starting causing serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not use cutters that are larger in diameter
than the opening in trimmer base. Use of
such cutters will come in contact with the
trimmer base and damage both the cutter
and trimmer base. Possible loss of control or
create other hazardous conditions that could
cause possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not use cutters with undersized shanks.
Undersized shanks will not tighten properly
and could be thrown from tool causing injury.
