OPERATION
Using the tool with the trimmer base
Set the tool base on the workpiece without the trimmer
bit making any contact. Turn the tool on and wait until
the bit attains full speed. Move the tool forward over
the workpiece surface. Keep the tool base flush while
moving the tool.
When cutting the edge, be sure to keep the workpiece
surface on the left side of the trimmer bit in the feed
direction.
NOTE: Before cutting on the actual workpiece, it is
recommended to make a sample cut. The proper feed
speed depends on the bit size, the kind of workpiece,
and depth of cut. 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.
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.

NOTICE:
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.
