OPERATION
SETTING DEPTH OF CUT
See Figure 11.
n Unplug the laminate trimmer.
n Rotate the depth adjustment knob counterclockwise.
n Slide the motor housing section of the trimmer upward
until the tip of the cutter reaches the work surface. The
depth of cut is zero at this point.
n Adjust the position of the trimmer to obtain the desired
depth of cut by moving the motor housing section up or
down. The cutter depth can be read on the depth of cut
scale. Each mark on the scale indicates a 1/16 in. change
in depth setting. Use the top edge of the die-cast base
(depth of cut indicator) as reference when setting depth
of cut.

wise.
WARNING:
Avoid open area of trimmer base. Serious personal
injury will result from contact with a rotating
cutter.
