FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Adjusting the depth of cut
► Fig.1: 1. Scale ring 2. Knob
Place the tool on a flat surface. Turn the scale ring until
it makes contact with the base. Loosen the knob. Turn
the scale ring until the bit just touches the flat surface.
Tighten the knob. Place the tool on its side and turn the
scale ring counterclockwise (when viewing the tool from
the top) until the desired depth of cut is obtained. One
full turn of the scale ring is equal to 5 mm change in
depth setting. Loosen the knob and move the tool base
until it makes contact with the scale ring. Then tighten
the knob securely.
CAUTION:
• Since excessive cutting may cause overload of
the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the
depth of cut should not be more than 15 mm at
a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish
to cut grooves more than 15 mm deep, make
several passes with progressively deeper bit
settings.
Switch action
► Fig.2: 1. Lock button 2. Switch trigger
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.

To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and
then push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
For tool without lock button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.

ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
Installing or removing the bit
► Fig.5
CAUTION:
• Install the bit securely. Always use only the
wrenches provided with the tool. A loose or
overtightened bit can be dangerous.
• Do not tighten the collet chuck without inserting
a bit or install smaller shank bits without using a
collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage of the
collet chuck.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet chuck and with-
draw it very slightly (approx. 2 mm). Then tighten the
collet chuck securely with the two wrenches. When
using smaller shank bits, first insert the appropriate
collet sleeve into the collet chuck, then install the bit as
mentioned above.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
