ASSEMBLY

INSTALLING/REMOVING TRIMMING BITS

See Figures 2 - 3.

If installing the bit for the first time, it can be installed once the collet nut is loose. If changing bits, the bit will easily slip from the collet after loosening the collet nut.

nTurn the switch to OFF and remove the battery pack from the trimmer.

nPlace the trimmer upside down on a workbench.

nTo remove the laminate sub-base assembly, open the depth adjustment latch. Slide the base upward, then left, then upward again to remove the base.

nDepress the spindle lock button.

nUse the wrench provided to turn the collet nut in a coun- terclockwise direction. Continue to depress the spindle lock button while loosening the collet nut.

nWith the trimmer still upside down on a workbench, insert the shank of the bit into the collet. The shank of the bit should be close to but not touching the bottom of the collet. This allows for expansion when the bit gets hot. A clearance of 1/16 in. is adequate.

NOTE: The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit bits with 1/4 in. diameter shanks.

nHand-tighten the collet nut. Then, depress the spindle lock button and continue tightening the collet nut with the wrench provided by turning it in a clockwise direction.

WARNING:

If the collet nut is not tightened securely, the bit may come out during use, causing serious personal injury.

nReplace the laminate sub-base assembly by sliding it onto the tool, along the grooves on the sides of the tool.

NOTE: Replace the base before using the trimmer. Do not attempt to operate the trimmer without the base in- stalled.

nClose the depth adjustment latch.

nReplace the battery pack.

WARNING:

If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with your hands or fingers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
