NOTE:
When cutting grooves with a 20 mm (13/16")
•
diameter bit, the depth of cut should not be more
than 5 mm (3/16") at a pass.
When you wish to cut grooves more than 15 mm
(9/16") deep with a 6 mm (1/4") diameter bit or
more than 5 mm (3/16") deep with a 20 mm
(13/16") diameter bit, make several passes with
progressively deeper bit settings.

CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
•
that the tool is switched off.
Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of
•
operator comfort during extended use. Apply
caution when locking tool in "ON" position and
maintain firm grasp on tool.
Make sure that the shaft lock is released before
•
the switch is turned on.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I (ON)
position. To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O
(OFF) position.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing the bit
CAUTION:
Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrench
•
provided with the tool. A loose or overtightened bit
can be dangerous.
Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit,
•
or the collet cone will break.

Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press the
shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the
wrench to tighten the collet nut securely.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
OPERATION
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.

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 straight guide or the trimmer guide,
•
be sure to install it on the right side in the feed
direction. This will help to keep it flush with the
side of the workpiece.
