If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number on the cover of this manual as soon as possible. Spanner (101) Spanner (102) Straight Guide Assy (44) Carbon Brushes (4) Straight Guide Assy (44) Trimmer Router Trimmer Guide Assy (42) Operation Caution: Before Trimming, run the tool for about 10 seconds to ensure that all moving parts are running smoothly, and there are no loose parts, rattles, or sparking that would indicate damage. Be sure the bit is firmly and properly installed before use. Improperly installed bits may eject suddenly at high speed from the Trimmer, resulting in personal injury. Installing the Router Bit 1. Unplug the Trimmer Router from the electrical outlet. 2. Insert the small Spanner (101) wrench over the spindle to keep it from turning. 3. Using the large Spanner (102) wrench, loosen the Collet Nut (31), but do not remove. 4. If there is already a bit in the Collet Cone, remove it. 5. Push the shank end of the new bit through the opening in the Collet Nut. There may be some resistance, so make sure that it goes in all the way. 6. While holding the small Spanner (101) over the spindle, tighten the Collet Nut with the large Spanner (102). SKU 44914 Page 8 Rev 08/01; 03/07 Adjusting Cutting Depth You can set the depth of cut using the scale marked on the side of the Trimmer. 1. Install the router bit as previously described. 2. Loosen the thumbscrew securing the clear plastic Base (32) to the Motor Housing (29). Slide the holder downward so the router bit is retracted within the Base. 3. Place the Base on a flat surface, and slide the Trimmer down in the Base until the tip of the bit contacts the work surface. Tighten the thumbscrew Knob (49). 4. The scale on the housing now shows the starting position. This starting position will vary, depending on the bit used. 5. Add the desired depth of cut to the starting position. For example, if the starting position is 25 mm, and the desired depth of cut is 10 mm, the correct adjustment on the scale is 35 mm. 6. Loosen the thumbscrew Knob, and raise the holder until the scale shows the correct reading; in this example 35 mm.Tighten the thumbscrew Knob.You are now ready to cut. Note: It is always wise to make a test cut to assure that the Trimmer is adjusted properly before beginning to cut the final workpiece. Using the Straight Guide The Straight Guide is used to make cuts parallel to the edge of a workpiece, or following a guide clamped onto the workpiece. 1. Assemble the Straight Guide Assy. (44) with the Straight Guide (442) facing inward, and the flanges down. 2. Using the Thumbscrew (39), attach the Straight Guide Assembly to the Trimmer, as shown. 3. After measuring the proper distance from the router bit to the guard, tighten the Straight Guide using the Thumb Nut (445). 4. Adjust the cutting depth as previously described above. 5. Make a test cut on a piece of scrap material to ensure that your measurement is correct. 6. Make your cut parallel to the edge of the workpiece with the Straight Guide following (442) (39) (445) the edge. Caution: Always secure the object being routed by clamping, or holding inavise. Never hold by hand. SKU 44914 Page 9 Alternative Guide Method You can make a straight cut which does not parallel the edge of the workpiece by clamping down a temporary guide. 1. Clamp a suitable straight board across the workpiece parallel to the desired location of the cut. 2. Assemble the Straight Guide Assy. (44) with the Straight Guide (442) facing outward and up, as shown to the right. 3. After measuring the proper distance from the router bit to the guide, tighten the straight guide using the thumbscrew Knobs. 4. On a piece of scrap material make a test cut to ensure that your measurement is correct. 5. Using the Straight Guide to follow the straight board, make your cut parallel to the guide. Making Circle Cuts The center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy (44), shown above, can be used as a pivot point to make circle cuts. 1. Install the Straight Guide Assy as shown above. 2. Drill a small pilot hole at the center point of the circle you wish to cut. 3. Set the distance from the center hole (A) in the Straight Guide Assy (44) to the router bit equal to the ...
