A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user -as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES 1. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation. 2. Handle the bits very carefully. 3.Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or damaged bit immediately. 4. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece before operation. 5. Hold the tool firmly. 6. Keep hands away from rotating parts. 7. Make sure the bit is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 8. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate improperly installed bit. 9. Be careful of the bit rotating direction and the feed direction. IO.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 11. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to a complete stop before removing the tool from workpiece. 12. Do not touch the bit immediately after operation; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin. 13. Don't smear the tool base carelessly with thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may cause cracks in the tool base. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Installing or removing trimmer bit CAUTION: 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 cone and tighten the collet nut securely with the two wrenches. To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse. CAUTION: 0 Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or the collet cone will break. 0 Use only the wrenches provided with the tool. Adjusting bit protrusion To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the clamp screw and move the tool base up or down as desired. After adjusting, tighten the clamp screw firmly to secure the tool base. On the tool base, there are two sight windows through which you can read a graduation on the scale label. Select a sight window convenient for your work and align the scale label with the selected sight window. installing trimmer shoe (after it has been removed from the tool) NOTE : The trimmer shoe is factory installed on the tool. Use the bolts, wing nuts, spring washers Wing nut and flat washers to install the trimmer shoe as shown at right. ______~~ ~~ Trimmer shoe - Adjusting angle of tool base Wing bolt Loosen the wing bolts and adjust the angle Gradual ~___ of the tool base (5' per graduation) to Wing nut obtain the desired cutting angle. Base It of ring Adjusting amount of chamfering To adjust the amount of chamfering, loosen the wing nuts and adjust the trimmer shoe. CAUTION: With the tool unplugged and switch in the "OFF" position, rotate the collet nut on the tool several times to be sure that the bit turns freely and does not contact the tool base or trimmer shoe in any way. Switch action To start the tool, move the switch lever to the "ON" position. To stop, move the switch lever to the "OFF" position. Operation Turn the tool on without the bit making any contact with the workpiece and wait until the bit attains full speed. Then move the tool over the workpiece surface, keep- ing the tool base and trimmer shoe flush with the sides of the workpiece. When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction. (See the figure below) Bit revolving direction Feed direction Feed direction (View from the top of the tool) 2w Correct bit 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 trimmer shoe, the 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. Bit revolving direction Workpiece Feed direction Trimmer shoe, straight guide or trimmer guide CAUTION : Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 3 mm (1/8") at a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm (1/8") deep, make several passes with progressively deeper bit settings. Straight guide The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts when chamfering or grooving. Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with the bolt, the wave washer, the flat washer and the wing nut. Loosen the wing bolts and secure the tool base ...
