Adjusting trimmer bit protrusion
To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the thumb nut and
move the base up or down as desired by turning the
adjusting screw. After adjusting, tighten the thumb nut
firmly to secure the base.

CAUTION:
Turn off the tool, loosen the collet
nut on the tool to be sure that the trimmer bit
turns freely and does not contact the base or
trimmer shoe in any way.
To adjust the amount of chamfering, loosen the wing
nuts and adjust the trimmer shoe.
Operation
1.
Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without
the trimmer bit making any contact.
2.
Turn the tool on and wait until the trimmer bit
attains full speed.
3.
Move the tool backward over the workpiece
surface, keeping the base and trimmer shoe flush and
advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.

When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the underside of the trimmer bit in the feed
direction.

3. View from the top of the tool 4. Feed
direction
When using the trimmer shoe, straight guide or the
trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right side in the
feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side
of the workpiece.

NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the trimmer 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,
make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber to
consider the appropriate feed speed.
You can also confirm the trimmer bit setting by mea-
suring the sample cut.
Templet guide
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the
trimmer bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with
templet patterns.

screwdriver.

of the four convex portions using the two screws. Install
the base on the tool.
