Installing or removing trimmer bit

CAUTION:
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or the
collet cone will break.
• Use only the wrenches provided with the tool.

Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone and tighten the
collet nut securely with the two wrenches. To remove the bit,
follow the installation procedure in reverse.
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 work-
piece 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.
