4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation. 5. Hold the tool firmly. 6. Keep hands away from rotating parts. 7. Make sure the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned On. 8. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit. 9. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the feed direction. IO.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 11. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece. 12. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 13. Don’t smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause cracks in the tool base. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. A Installing or removing trimmer bit CAUTION : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing the bit. Use the hex wrench to loosen the clamp bolt and lower the tool base. lnser 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. Adjusting depth of cut Place the tool on a fiat surface. Loosen the Bit protrusion clamp bolt and move the tool body until 2 the bit just touches the flat surface. Tighten the clamp bolt slightly. Place the tool on its side and loosen the clamp bolt. Move the tool base until the desired depth of cut is obtained. Depth of cut can be checked with the scale label (1mm or about 3/64" per graduation) on the tool. Then tighten the clamp bolt securely. Clamp bolt 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 (1/8") at a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm (1/8") deep, make several passes with progressively deeper bit settings. Switch action To start the tool, move the switch lever to the “ON” position. To stop, move the switch lever to the “OFF” position. 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. 0 When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction. (See the figure below) ”:;;eB:w Feed direction ,//,/ /////////I/,‘ (View from the tip of the tool) I Correct bit feed direction NOTE : 0 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 or the trimmer 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. Straight guide (Optional accessory) The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts when chamfering or grooving. Install the straight guide on the guide holder with the wing bolt. Then use the hex wrench to loosen the bolts on the tool base and insert the guide holder into the grooves in the tool base. Adjust the dis- tance between the bit and the straight guide and tighten the bolts securely. When adjusting the straight guide up or down, loosen the wing bolt. After adjusting it, tighten the wing bolt securely. I \ Guide holder When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush with the side of the workpiece. Wider straight guide of desired dimensions may be made by using the convenient holes in the guide to bolt on extra pieces of wood. Trimmer guide (Optional accessory) Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for fur- niture and the like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut. Install the trimmer guide on the guide holder with the wing bolt. Then use the hex wrench to loosen the bolts on the tool base and insert the guide holder into the grooves in the tool base. Adjust the dis- tance between the bit and the trimmer guide and tighten the bolts securely. When adjusting the trimmer guide up or down, loosen the wing bolt. After adjusting it, tighten the wing bolt securely. Trimmer guide / When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding the side of the workpiece.
