CAUTION:
• If the tool is operated continuously at low
speeds for a long time, the motor will get over-
loaded, resulting in tool malfunction.
• The speed adjusting dial can be turned only as
far as 6 and back to 1. Do not force it past 6 or
1, or the speed adjusting function may no longer
work.

CAUTION:
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a

• 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 or by
pressing the shaft lock and using the provided wrench.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.
OPERATION
For the trimmer base
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.

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.
