WARNING:
Before using the tool with the trimmer base, always

install the dust nozzle on the trimmer base.
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.
