Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press the
shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the
wrench to tighten the collet nut securely.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in

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 workpiece 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.

NOTE:
Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor
•
quality of cut, or damage to the bit or motor.
Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and
mar the cut. 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 straight guide or the trimmer guide,
•
be sure to install it on the right side in the feed
direction. This will help to keep it flush with the
side of the workpiece.
