OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or Removing Bits
Caution:Make sure the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing a bit.
Insert the bit (A) Fig.1 all the way into the collet
cone, retract the bit 1/8” out of the collet cone and
tighten the collet nut (B) securely with the two
wrenches supplied. Place small wrench (C) around
the flat of the spindle and place the other larger
wrench (D) around the collet nut to tighten. To
remove the bit, follow these instructions in reverse
order.
Caution:Never tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or the collet cone will break.
Adjusting Depth of Cut
Place the tool on a flat surface. Loosen lock knob
(A) Fig.2 and turn the adjustment knob (B) to move
the body up or down until the bit just touches the
flat surface. Now adjust the transparent base
upwards until you reach your desired depth of cut.
This adjustment can be done using the scale (C)
on the body. Retighten lock knob (A).
Caution:The depth of the cut adjustment should
not be more than 1/8” each pass when cutting
grooves. If you desire grooves greater than 1/8”
deep, make several passes with progressively deeper bit settings.
Turning Laminate Trimmer On/Off
To start the laminate trimmer, move the switch (A)
Fig.3 to the “ON” position. To stop, move the
