SETTiNG dEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 10.
 Turn the switch off and remove the battery pack from the
trimmer.
 Open the depth adjustment latch as indicated by the ar-
row.
 Slide the motor housing section of the trimmer upward
until the tip of the bit reaches the work surface. The depth
of cut is zero at this point.
 Adjust the position of the trimmer to obtain the desired
depth of cut by moving the motor housing section up or
down, as shown by the up/down arrow. The distance the
bit moves can be read on the depth of cut scale. Each
mark on the scale indicates a 1/16 in. change in depth
setting. Indicator points are located on the base.
 Completely close the depth adjustment latch.
WARNiNG:
Avoid open area of trimmer base. Serious personal injury
will result from contact with a rotating bit.
NOTE: To make deeper cuts, it is necessary to make as
many successive passes as required, lowering the bit 1/8
in for each new pass. To save time, perform all the cutting
necessary at one depth setting, then lower the bit for the
next pass. This will assure uniform depth when the final
pass is completed.
