Turn the tool on without the bit making any contact with
the workpiece and wait until the bit attains full speed.
Then move the tool over the workpiece surface, keeping
the tool base and trimmer shoe flush with the sides of the
workpiece.
NOTE:
This tool can be used as a conventional trimmer
•
when you remove the trimmer shoe.
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 trimmer shoe, the straight guide or
•
the trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right
side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it
flush with the side of the workpiece.
