    DOUBLE INSULATION Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three- wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.

  • Page 11: Operation

    WARNING Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf- ficient to inflict serious injury. WARNING Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating power tools. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes re- sulting in possible serious injury.
  • Page 12 DIRECTION OF FEED AND THRUST See Figures 6 and 7. The trimmer motor and cutter revolve in a clockwise direc- tion. This gives the tool a slight tendency to twist in your hands in a counterclockwise direction, especially when the motor starts.
  • Page 13: Force Feeding

    PROPER RATE OF FEED Professional trimming and edge shaping depend upon care- ful set-up and selecting the proper rate of feed. The proper rate of feed is dependent upon: n the hardness and moisture content of the workpiece n the depth of cut n the cutting diameter of the cutter.
  • Page 14: Depth Of Cut

    DEPTH OF CUT See Figure 9. Depth of cut affects the rate of feed and the quality of a cut. Using the proper depth of cut can lessen the possibility of damage to the trimmer motor and cutter. A deeper cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one. Mak- ing a cut that is too deep will slow the feed so that the cutter is scraping, rather than cutting, and is not recommended.
  • Page 15 TO SET DEPTH OF CUT See Figure 10. n Unplug the trimmer. n Open the depth adjustment latch as indicated by the ar- row in figure 10. n Slide the motor housing section of the trimmer upward until the tip of the cutter reaches the work surface. The depth of cut is zero at this point.
  • Page 16 USING THE WOODWORKING SUB-BASE WITH HANDLES The woodworking sub-base with handles is convenient when routing 4 in. (101.6 mm), 5 in. (127 mm), or 6 in. (152.4 mm) circular grooves. It can also be used when routing grooves parallel to the edge of the workpiece. The handles allow you to grasp and hold the trimmer with two hands, similar to grasping and holding a router.
  • Page 17 ROUTING GROOVES PARALLEL TO AN EDGE See Figure 13. You can use the scale provided on the woodworking sub- base to cut a straight parallel line up to 1 in. (25.4 mm) from the edge of the workpiece. n The intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines at the center of the woodworking sub-base indicates the cen- ter of the cutter.
