ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Installing or removing the bit
011949
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 nut without inserting a bit. It
can lead to breakage of the collet cone.
Insert the bit all the way into the collet cone and tighten
the collet nut securely with the two wrenches.
An 8 mm collet cone may be also provided as a standard
equipment (depending on the country) besides the 6 mm or
1/4" collet cone that is factory installed on the tool. Use the
correct size collet cone for the bit which you intend to use.
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. Lower the tool body and
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.
