Installing or removing the bit
005042
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 withdraw 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.
Set the tool base on the workpiece to be cut without the bit making any con-
tact. 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.

• 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
4
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.
