ASSEMBLING AND ADJUSTING BASE AND ROLLER GUIDE

1.Remove power unit from base unit (see “TO INSTALL BIT”), and install the bit.

2.The base and roller guide (A) Fig. 4, is assembled at the factory. To assemble, remove a sub-base mounting screw (A) Fig. 5 and insert alignment pin in guide base into hole (C) in bottom of trimmer sub-base. Fasten with two mounting screws (F) Fig. 4, as shown in Fig. 5A. Do not tighten at this time.

3.Install proper bit as outlined under “TO INSTALL BIT.” Then, install motor to base and adjust depth of cut (see “ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT”).

4.Align roller guide with bit by loosening locking screw (Fig. 5A) and turning adjusting screw, with hex wrench provided, until guide is in desired location.

NOTE: Guide mounting holes are oversized allowing guide to be rotated on alignment pin to align guide roller with bit.

5.For making flush cuts align roller guide with straight portion of bit. For bevel cuts, adjust cutting depth so that only the bevel portion of bit projects through trimmer base and adjust roller guide to produce desired amount of bevel.

6.Tighten all screws and make a trial cut on scrap material to check alignment. Readjust if necessary.
