FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Adjusting bit protrusion (Fig. 1)
To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the clamping nut and
move the tool base up or down as desired by turning the
adjusting screw. After adjusting, tighten the clamping nut
firmly to secure the tool base.
Adjusting angle of tool base (Fig. 2)
Loosen the wing bolts and adjust the angle of the tool base
(5° per graduation) to obtain the desired cutting angle.
Adjusting amount of chamfering
To adjust the amount of chamfering, loosen the wing nuts
and adjust the trimmer shoe.
CAUTION:
• With the tool unplugged and switch in the "OFF" posi-
tion, rotate the collet nut on the tool several times to be
sure that the bit turns freely and does not contact the
base or trimmer shoe in any way.
Switch action (Fig. 3)
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I (ON) posi-
tion. To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O
(OFF) position.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing trimmer bit (Fig. 4)
CAUTION:
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or
the collet cone will break.
• Use only the wrenches provided with the tool.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone and tighten
the collet nut securely with the two wrenches.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Templet guide
The templet guide provides a sleeve through which the bit passes, allowing use of the trimmer with templet patterns.
(Fig. 9)
Remove the tool base from the tool. Loosen the wing bolts and secure the tool base horizontally. Loosen the two
screws on the tool base. (Fig. 10)
Place the templet guide on the tool base. There are four convex portions on the templet guide. Secure two of the four
convex portions using the two screws. Install the tool base on the tool. (Fig. 11)
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on the templet and move the tool with the templet guide sliding
along the side of the templet. (Fig. 12)
NOTE:
• The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from the templet. Allow for the distance (X) between the router bit
and the outside of the templet guide. The distance (X) can be calculated by using the following equation:
outside diameter of the templet guide – router bit diameter
Distance (X) =
Installing trimmer shoe (after it has been
removed from the tool) (Fig. 5)
NOTE:
• The trimmer shoe is factory installed on the tool.
Use the bolts, wing nuts, spring washers and flat wash-
ers to install the trimmer shoe as shown in Fig. 5.

OPERATION

Turn the tool on without the bit making any contact with
the workpiece and wait until the bit attains full speed.
Then move the tool over the workpiece surface, keeping
the tool base and trimmer shoe flush with the sides of the
workpiece. (Fig. 6)
NOTE:
• This tool can be used as a conventional trimmer when
you remove the trimmer shoe.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should
be on the left side of the bit in the feed direction. (Fig. 7)
NOTE:
• Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor qual-
ity 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 sam-
ple 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 trimmer shoe, the straight guide or the
trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right side in the
feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the
side of the workpiece. (Fig. 8)
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 3 mm at a pass when cutting
grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than
3 mm deep, make several passes with progressively
deeper bit settings.
