0
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing
the bit.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet
chuck and withdraw it very slightly (ap­
prox. 2 mm; 1/16"). Then tighten the collet
chuck securely with the two wrenches.
When using smaller shank bits, first insert
the appropriate collet sleeve into the collet
chuck, then install the bit as mentioned
above.
To remove the bit, follow the installation
procedure in reverse.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten the collet chuck without inserting a bit or install smaller shank bits with­
out using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the collet chuck.
Adjusting depth of cut
Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen the
lock lever and lower the tool body until
the bit just touches the flat surface. Press
the lock lever down to lock the tool body.
Now lower the stopper pole until it makes
contact with the stopper block. The stopper
pole can be moved rapidly by depressing

.. the fast-feed button. Raise the stopper
pole until the desired depth of cut is ob­
tained. The depth of cut is equal to the
distance between the stopper pole and the
stopper block.
Stopper pole travel can be checked with the scale label (1 mm or about 3/64" per gradua ­
tion) on the tool body. Minute depth adjustments can be obtained by turning the stopper
pole (1.5 mm or about 1/16" per turn). The stopper block has an adjusting hex bolt
which moves 1 mm (about 3/64") per turn. It is convenient for making stepped cuts. To
adjust the hex bolt, first loosen the hex nut on the hex bolt with the wrench and then
turn the hex bolt. After obtaining the desired position, tighten the hex nut.
