Intended use

The tool is intended for ush trimming and proling of

wood, plastic and similar materials.

Power supply

The tool should be connected only to a power supply of

the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and

can only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They

are double-insulated and can, therefore, also be used

from sockets without earth wire.

The vibration total value (tri-axial vector sum) deter-

mined according to EN60745:

Work mode: rotation without load

Vibration emission (ah) : 2.5 m/s2 or less

Uncertainty (K) : 1.5 m/s2

NOTE: The declared vibration emission value has

been measured in accordance with the standard test

method and may be used for comparing one tool with

another.

NOTE: The declared vibration emission value

may also be used in a preliminary assessment of

exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission during actual

use of the power tool can differ from the declared

emission value depending on the ways in which the

tool is used.

WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures

to protect the operator that are based on an estima-

tion of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking

account of all parts of the operating cycle such as

the times when the tool is switched off and when it is

running idle in addition to the trigger time).

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and

all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and

instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or

serious injury.

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

8ENGLISH

Trimmer safety warnings

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-

faces, because the cutter may contact its own

cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed

metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the

operator.

2. Use clamps or another practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable plat-

form. Holding the work by your hand or against

the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of

control.

3. Wear hearing protection during extended

period of operation.

4. Handle the trimmer bits very carefully.

5. Check the trimmer bit carefully for cracks or

damage before operation. Replace cracked or

damaged bit immediately.

6. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from the workpiece before operation.

7. Hold the tool rmly.

8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.

9. Make sure the trimmer bit is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

10. 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.

11. Be careful of the trimmer bit rotating direction

and the feed direction.

12. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

13. Always switch off and wait for the trimmer bit

to come to a complete stop before removing

the tool from workpiece.

14. Do not touch the trimmer bit immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could

burn your skin.

15. Do not smear the tool base carelessly with

thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may

cause cracks in the tool base.

16. Use trimmer bits of the correct shank diameter

suitable for the speed of the tool.

17. Some material contains chemicals which may

be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-

tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier

safety data.

18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator

for the material and application you are work-

ing with.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: DO NOT let comfort or familiarity

with product (gained from repeated use) replace

strict adherence to safety rules for the subject

product. MISUSE or failure to follow the safety

rules stated in this instruction manual may cause

serious personal injury.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is

switched off and unplugged before carrying out

any work on the tool.

Installing or removing trimmer bit

CAUTION: Do not tighten the collet nut without

inserting a trimmer bit, or the collet cone will break.

CAUTION: Use only the wrenches provided with

the tool.

Insert the trimmer 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.

► Fig.3: 1. Loosen 2. Tighten 3. Hold

OPERATION

CAUTION: Always hold the tool rmly with one

hand on housing. Do not touch the metal part.

CAUTION: Since excessive cutting may cause

overload of the motor or difculty in controlling the

tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 3 mm

at a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut

grooves more than 3 mm deep, make several passes

with progressively deeper bit settings.

9ENGLISH

1. Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut with-

out the trimmer bit making any contact.

2. Turn the tool on and wait until the trimmer bit

attains full speed.

3. Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface,

keeping the tool base ush and advancing smoothly

until the cutting is complete.

► Fig.4

When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface

should be on the left side of the trimmer bit in the feed

direction.

► Fig.5: 1. Workpiece 2. Bit revolving direction

3. View from the top of the tool 4. Feed

direction

When using the straight guide or the trimmer guide,

be sure to keep it on the right side in the feed direc-

tion. This will help to keep it ush with the side of the

workpiece.

► Fig.6: 1. Feed direction 2. Bit revolving direction

3. Workpiece 4. Straight guide

NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause

a poor quality of cut, or damage to the trimmer 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.

Templet guide

The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the

trimmer bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with

templet patterns.

► Fig.7

1. Loosen the clamping screw and then remove the

guide holder and the chip deector.

2. Loosen the screws and remove the base

protector.

► Fig.9: 1. Base protector 2. Screws

3. Place the templet guide on the base and replace

the base protector. Then secure the base protector by

tightening the screws.

4. Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the

tool on the templet and move the tool with the templet

guide sliding along the side of the templet.

► Fig.10: 1. Trimmer bit 2. Base 3. Templet

4. Workpiece 5. Templet guide

NOTE: The workpiece will be cut a slightly different

size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X)

between the trimmer bit and the outside of the templet

guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using

the following equation:

Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet

guide - trimmer bit diameter) / 2

Straight guide

Optional accessory

The straight guide is effectively used for straight cuts

when chamfering or grooving.

► Fig.11

1. Attach the guide plate to the straight guide with

the bolt and the wing nut.

► Fig.12: 1. Bolt 2. Guide plate 3. Straight guide

then attach the straight guide with the clamping screw.

► Fig.13: 1. Clamping screw 2. Straight guide 3. Wing

nut 4. Base

3. Loosen the wing nut on the straight guide and

adjust the distance between the trimmer bit and the

straight guide. At the desired distance, tighten the wing

nut securely.

4. When cutting, move the tool with the straight guide

ush with the side of the workpiece.

If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece

and the cutting position is too wide for the straight

guide, or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, the

straight guide cannot be used. In this case, rmly clamp

a straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide

against the trimmer base. Feed the tool in the direction

of the arrow.

► Fig.14

Circular work

Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the

straight guide and guide plate. Minimum and maximum

radius of circles to be cut (distance between the center

of circle and the center of trimmer bit) are as follows:

• Mininum : 70 mm

• Maximum : 221 mm

For cutting circles between 70 mm and 121 mm in

radius
