Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone. Press
the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary and use the
wrench to tighten the collet nut securely.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in reverse.

OPERATION

Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making
any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full
speed. Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface, keeping the
tool base flush and advancing smoothly until the cutting is complete.
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 straight guide or the trimmer guide, be
sure to install it on the right side in the feed direction. This
will help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.
