ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (FIG. 6)
1. Select and install the desired bit. Refer to
Bit Installation and Removal.
2. Assemble base to motor, ensuring base
is attached to the depth adjustment ring.
Place laminate trimmer on the work piece.
3. Open the locking lever (H) and turn the
depth adjustment ring (B) until the bit just
touches the work piece. Turning the ring
clockwise raises the cutting head while
turning it counterclockwise lowers the
cutting head.
4. Turn the micro adjustment scale (G)
clockwise until the 0 on the scale lines up
with the pointer on the quick release tab
(A).
5. Turn the depth adjustment ring until the
pointer lines up with desired depth of cut
marking on the micro adjustment scale.
NOTE: Each mark on the adjustable scale
represents a depth change of 1/64" or
.015" (0.4 mm) and one full (360º) turn of
the ring changes the depth 0.5" (12.7 mm).
6. Close the locking lever (H) to lock the base.
USING AN EDGE GUIDE (FIG. 2)
An edge guide is included with your laminate trimmer for use with non-piloted bits on
curved or straight applications.
1. Remove the screw (S) in the back of the base (I).
2. Slide edge guide into edge guide slot (Q) on back of subbase (J). Tighten
hardware.
NOTE: To remove the edge guide, reverse the above procedure. After removing edge
guide, always replace the screw (S) into the storage hole on the back of the base to
prevent it from being lost.
DIRECTION OF FEED (FIG. 7)
The direction of feed is very important when trimming and can make the difference
between a successful job and a ruined project. The figures show the proper direction
of feed for some typical cuts. A general rule to follow is to move the laminate trimmer
in a counterclockwise direction on an outside cut and a clockwise direction on an
inside cut.
