FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is stitched on and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Adjusting trimmer bit protrusion

To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the clamping screw and move the base up or down as desired. After adjust-ing, tighten the clamping screw firmly to secure the base.

Switch action

CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always be sure that the tool is switched off.

To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I position. To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the Oposition.

Electronic function

The tool is equipped with the electronic functions for easy operation.
Indication lamp

The indication lamp lights up green when the tool is plugged. If the indication lamp does not light up, the mains cord or the controller may be defective. The indi-cation lamp is lit but the tool does not start even if the tool is switched on, the carbon brushes may be worn out, or the controller, the motor or the ON/OFF switch may be defective.
Unintentional restart proof
The tool does not start with the switch lever in I position even when the tool is plugged. At this time, the indication lamp blinks in red and shows the unintentional restart proof device is on function. To cancel the unintentional restart proof, return the switch lever to O position.
Soft start feature

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Installing or removing trimmer bit

CAUTION: Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a trimmer bit, or the collet cone will break.
CAUTION: Use only the wrenches provided with the tool.

Insert the trimmer 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.

OPERATION

1. Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the trimmer bit making any contact.
2. Turn the tool on and wait until the trimmer bit attains full speed.
3. Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the 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 trimmer bit in the feed direction. When using the straight guide or the trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right side in the feed direc-tion. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.
NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the trimmer 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.

Templet guide

The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the trimmer bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with templet patterns.

1. Loosen the clamping screw and then remove the guide holder and the chip deflector.
2. Loosen the screws and remove the base protector.
3. Place the templet guide on the base, and place the base protector again. Then secure the base protec-tor by tightening the screws.
4. Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on the templet and move the tool with the templet guide sliding along the side of the templet.

NOTE: The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X) between the trimmer bit and the outside of the templet guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using the following equation:
Distance outside diameter of the templet guide – trimmer bit diameter / 2

Straight guide

The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts when chamfering.

1. Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with the bolt and the wing nut.
2. Remove the guide holder and the chip deflector then attach the straight guide with the clamping screw.
3.  Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide and adjust the distance between the trimmer bit and the straight guide. At the desired distance, tighten the wing nut securely.
4. When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide flush with the side of the workpiece.

Trimmer guide

Trimming, curved cuts in veneers for furniture and the like can be done easily with the trimmer guide. The guide roller rides the curve and assures a fine cut.

1.  Attach the chip deflector on the groove of the base.
2.  Install the trimmer guide and guide holder on the base with the clamping screw (A).
3. Loosen the clamping screw (B) and adjust the distance between the trimmer bit and the trimmer guide by turning the adjusting screw (1 mm per turn). At the desired distance, tighten the clamping screw (B) to secure the trimmer guide in place.
4. When cutting, move the tool with the guide roller riding the side of the workpiece.
