NOTE: Moving the tool forward too fast may cause
a poor quality of cut, or damage to the trimmer 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.
