We recommend that you purchase your accessories 

from the same store that sold you the tool. Refer to 

the accessory packaging for further details. Store 

personnel can assist you and offer advice.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: 

Before using the tool, read the 

instruction book carefully.

Installation and Adjustment

1. Adjusting the bit protrusion (See Fig. A)

To adjust the bit protrusion, loosen the locking lever 

(14), and then move the depth adjustment cover (4) up 

or down as desired. After this, tighten the locking lever 

(14) firmly to secure the depth adjustment cover.

2. Starting & stopping (See Fig. B)

To start the tool, turn the On/off Switch Lever (1) to 

“I”(ON); to stop it, turn the On/off Switch Lever (1) to 

“O”(OFF).

WARNING: 

Before plugging in the tool, make 

sure the tool is switched off.

3. Installing or removing the trimmer bit (See 

Fig. C, D)

WARNING: Make sure the plug is 

removed before any work on the tool.

To install the trimmer bit, remove the Clamping Nut 

(6) first. Insert the bit all the way into the collet and 

tighten the Clamping Nut (6) securely with the two 

spanners provided. To remove the trimmer bit, follow 

the installation procedures in reverse order.

Operation 

Put the base plate on the workpiece to be cut without 

making any contact with the bit. Turn the tool on and 

wait until the tool reaches its full speed. Move the tool 

forward over the workpiece surface. And ensure the 

base plate flushes and advances smoothly until the 

cutting is finished.

For edge cutting, keep the workpiece on the left of the 

bit in the feed direction. (See Fig. E)

NOTE: 

Moving the tool forward too fast may cause 

poor cutting quality, bit damage or motor damage. 

While moving the tool forward too slowly may result in 

bit damage because of heat. Before starting your cut 

on actual workpiece, it is recommended to make a cut 

trial on a piece of scrap lumber. This will show exactly 

how the cut will look and what the dimension will be.

When using the parallel guide or roller guide, make 

sure to keep it on the right side of the bit. This helps to 

keep it flush with the workpiece surface. (See Fig. F)

Since excessive cutting may make overload the motor, 

the cutting depth should not be more than 3mm. If you 

want a depth over 3mm, make several passes with 

progressively deeper bit settings.

Template Guide (See Fig. G, H, I)

Template guide is used to cut materials into the same 

shape. (See Fig. H)

The template guide provides a sleeve that the bit can 

pass through, allowing the use of the trimmer with 

template patterns. To use it, loosen the screw on 

the base plate and remove the base plate. Put the 

template guide on the base plate. Fit the tool and 

tighten it with screws. 

Secure the base plate to the workpiece and move the 

tool with the template guide sliding along the side of 

the template. (See Fig. I)

NOTE: 

The size of the workpiece that has cut will be 

slightly different from the size of the template guide, 

allowing for the distance (X) between the bit and 

the outside edge of the template guide. This can be 

calculated with the following equation:

Distance (X) = (Outside diameter of the template guide 

– bit diameter)/2

Parallel guide (See Fig. J, K)

When bevel cutting or notching, parallel guide is 

efficient for straight cut.

Assemble the parallel guide with the clamping bolt (11) 

and wing nut (12). (See Fig. J) Install the parallel guide 

on the tool with adjusting screw (A). Loosen the wing 

nut (12), and then adjust the distance between the tool 

bit and the parallel guide. Tighten the wing nut (12) at 

desired distance.

When cutting, always ensure the parallel guide flushes 

with the side of the workpiece. (See Fig. K)

If the distance between the side of the workpiece and 

the cutting position is too wide for the parallel guide, 

or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, firmly 

clamp a parallel guide to the workpiece and use it as a 

guide against the base plate. 

Circular cut (See Fig. L, M)

Circular work can be accomplished if you assembled 

the parallel guide as the figure shows. 

See below for minimum and maximum radius of 

circles to be cut (distance between the center of a 

circle and the center of the bit):

Minimum radius: 61mm

Maximum radius: 214mm

The center hole 1 is used for cutting circles between 

61 mm and 112mm in radius.

The center hole 2 is used for cutting circles between 

112mm and 214mm in radius. (See Fig. L)
