FEATURES
KNOW YOUR TRIMMER
See Figure 2.
Before attempting to use your trimmer, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements.
Your trimmer is a versatile woodworking tool which will give you years of
As the name implies your trimmer can be used for trimming laminates. When used with recommended accessories, such as a straight guide, trimmer guide, template guide, or com- bination panel bit, it becomes even more versatile.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your trimmer to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your trimmer has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double- check the power supply.
WARNING:
The operation of any trimmer can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before starting power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend wide vision safety mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.
HEAVY DUTY MOTOR
Your trimmer has a powerful 3.8 amp motor with sufficient power to handle many trimming jobs. It is capable of deliv- ering 3/4 horsepower for heavy duty performance. The motor also has removable brushes for ease of servicing.
SWITCH
To turn your trimmer ON, slide the switch on top of the trimmer to ON position. Return the switch to OFF position when finished.
DEPTH OF CUT SCALE
Your trimmer's cutting depth can be adjusted by using the depth of cut scale. To adjust to desired depth of cut, loosen the wing bolt and move the base until the tip of the cutter touches work surface. The depth of cut is zero at this point. Position your trimmer so that the cutter can extend below the subbase for desired depth of cut setting. Move the base further until the mark on the depth of cut scale corresponds with your desired depth of cut. Then securely tighten the wing bolt.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alter- ation or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury.
