Using the tool with the trimmer base

Set the tool base on the workpiece without the trimmer bit making any contact. Turn the tool on and wait until the trimmer bit attains full speed. Move the tool forward over the workpiece surface. Keep the tool base flush while moving the tool.

When cutting the edge, be sure to keep the workpiece surface on the left side of the trimmer bit in the feed direction.

▶ Fig.42

NOTE: Before cutting on the actual workpiece, it is recommended to make a sample cut. The proper feed speed depends on the trimmer bit size, the kind of workpiece, and depth of cut. Moving the tool forward too fast may cause a poor quality of cut, or damage to the trimmer bit or motor. Moving the tool forward too slowly may burn and mar the cutting surface.

When using the trimmer shoe, the straight guide, or the trimmer guide, be sure to keep it on the right side in the feed direction. This will help to keep it flush with the side of the workpiece.

▶ Fig.43: 1. Trimmer bit 2. Workpiece 3. Straight guide

NOTICE: Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should not be more than 3 mm at a pass when cutting grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm deep, make several passes with progressively deeper trimmer bit settings.

Using the straight guide

  1. Assemble the straight guide with the bolt and the wing nut.

▶ Fig.44: 1. Bolt 2. Wing nut

▶ Fig.47

If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece and the cutting position is too wide for the straight guide, or if the side of the workpiece is not straight, the straight guide cannot be used.

In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide against the trimmer base. Feed the tool in the direction of the arrow.

▶ Fig.48

Using the straight guide for circular work

For circular work, assemble the straight guide as shown in the figures. The minimum and maximum radius of circles to be cut (distance between the center of circle and the center of trimmer bit) are as follows:

  • Minimum: 70 mm
    • Maximum: 221 mm

For cutting circles between 70 mm and 121 mm in radius.

▶ Fig.49: 1. Center hole

For cutting circles between 121 mm and 221 mm in radius.

▶ Fig.50: 1. Center hole

NOTE: Circles between 172 mm and 186 mm in radius cannot be cut using this guide.

Align the center hole in the straight guide with the center of the circle to be cut. Drive a nail less than 6 mm in diameter into the center hole to secure the straight guide. Pivot the tool around the nail in the clockwise direction.

▶ Fig.51: 1. Nail 2. Center hole
