6ASSEMBLY CAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged beforecarrying out any work on the tool.Installing or removing the bitCAUTION:• Install the bit securely. Always use only the wrenches provided with thetool. A loose or overtightened bit can be dangerous.• Do not tighten the collet chuck without inserting a bit or install smallershank bits without using a collet sleeve. Either can lead to breakage ofthe 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 thecollet chuck, then install the bit as mentioned above.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 con-tact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the bit attains full speed. Move the toolforward over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base flush and advancingsmoothly until the cutting is complete.When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be on the left side ofthe bit in the feed direction.NOTE:• Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, ordamage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burnand mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the kindof workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning the cut on the actualworkpiece, it is advisable to make a sample cut on a piece of scraplumber. This will show exactly how the cut will look as well as enable youto check dimensions.• When using the straight guide or the trimmer guide, be sure to install iton the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush withthe side of the workpiece.0050421. Workpiece 2. Bit revolving direction3. View from the top of the tool 4. Feed direction1 234 420019841. Feed direction2.
