TRIMMER SAFETY WARNINGS
1.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
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
platform.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 bits very carefully.
5. Check the 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 firmly.
8. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9. Make sure the 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 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 bit to come
to a complete stop before removing the tool
from workpiece.
14. Do not touch the 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 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
inhalation and skin contact. Follow material
supplier safety data.
18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are
working 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.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on
the tool.
Adjusting bit protrusion
Fig.1
To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the locking lever and
move the tool base up or down as desired by turning the
adjusting screw. After adjusting, tighten the locking lever
firmly to secure the tool base.
NOTE:
• When the tool is not secured even if the locking
lever is tightened, tighten the hex nut and then
tighten the locking lever.
Switch action
Fig.2
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the tool is switched off.
To start the tool, press the "ON ( I )" side of the switch. To
stop the tool, press the "OFF (O)" side of the switch.
Electronic function
The tool equipped with electronic function are easy to
operate because of the following features.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed.
Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is
kept constant even under load condition.
Soft start
Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes
the tool start smoothly.
Speed adjusting dial
Fig.3
The tool speed can be changed by turning the speed
adjusting dial to a given number setting from 1 to 6.
Higher speed is obtained when the dial is turned in the
direction of number 6. And lower speed is obtained when
it is turned in the direction of number 1.
This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum
material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly
adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter.
Refer to the table for the relationship between the
number settings on the dial and the approximate tool
speed.
