OPERATION

DEPTH OF CUT

See Figure 15.

Depth of cut affects the rate of feed and the quality of a cut. Using the proper depth of cut can lessen the possibility of damage to the trimmer motor and bit.

A deeper cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one. Mak- ing a cut that is too deep will slow the feed so that the bit is scraping, rather than cutting, and is not recommended.

A too-deep cut can cause smaller bits to be broken off. bits that are 1/16 in. in diameter are easily broken off when subjected to too much side thrust. A larger bit is not as likely to break, but attempting a cut that is too deep may result in a rough cut, and may make it difficult to guide and control the bit as desired.

It is necessary that you do not exceed 1/8 in. depth of cut in a single pass, regardless of the bit size or the softness or condition of the workpiece. This will result in a higher quality cut.

To make deeper cuts, it is necessary to make as many suc- cessive passes as required, lowering the bit 1/8 in for each new pass. To save time, perform all the cutting necessary at one depth setting, then lower the bit for the next pass. This will assure uniform depth when the final pass is completed.

WARNING:

If the desired depth of cut is greater than can be safely cut in one pass, make cuts in two or more passes. Do not remove more than 1/8 in. in a single pass. Excessive depth of cut can result in loss of control and the possibility of serious personal injury.
