Make sure the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 9. Before using the tool on an actual work- piece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit. 10. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the feed direction. 11. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 12. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece. 13. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 14. Always lead the power supply cord away from the tool towards the rear. 15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause cracks in the tool base. 16. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the correct shank diameter and suitable for the speed of the tool. 17. Some material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inhalation and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.

Adjusting bit protrusion To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the lever and move the tool base up or down as desired by turning the adjusting roller. After adjusting, tighten the lever firmly to secure the tool 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 (ON) position. To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O (OFF) position. The tools equipped with electronic function are easy to operate because of the following features. Constant speed control Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed. Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constant even under load condition. Soft start feature Safety and soft start because of suppressed starting shock. Lighting up the lamps CAUTION: • Do not see the source of light directly. To turn on the lamp, move the switch lever to the “ON” side. Move the switch lever to the “OFF” side to turn it off. NOTE: • Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of light. Be careful not to scratch the lens of light, or it may lower the illumination. ASSEMBLY CAUTION: • Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. 001700 Installing or removing trimmer bit CAUTION: • Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or the collet cone will break. • Use only the wrenches provided with the tool. Insert 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. 1 2 3 1. Loosen 2. Tighten 3. Hold 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 work- piece surface, keeping the tool 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 bit in the feed direction. 001701 6 37 1 2 8 4 5 1. Workpiece 2. Bit revolving direction 3. Feed direction 4.

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 trimmer shoe...
