Fig. 6 12 A GRIPPING WARNING: Battery tools are always in operating condition. Therefore, switch should always be locked when not in use or carrying at your side. OPERATING When used with the laminate subbase, the trimmer has a dual grip design that allows the operator to hold the tool with either the right or left hand. THE TRIMMER For right-handed operation, the depth adjustment latch must be on the left side of the tool. For left-handed operation, the depth adjustment latch must be on the right side of the tool. Before starting the trimmer, with the battery pack disconnected, make sure the bit is securely tightened in the collet and that the depth of cut is properly set. Never start the tool while the bit is in contact with the workpiece. Always hold the trimmer so that the switch is facing you and your thumb is positioned above the depth adjustment latch. When cutting, locate the base of the tool over the work surface and firmly hold the body of the trimmer with your hand. Make sure the tool is running at full speed before contacting the workpiece. To change grip positions, remove the laminate subbase (See Installing/Removing Trimming Bits). Re-position the base for right- or left-handed operation. After completing a cut, pull the bit slightly away from the cut surface. Turn the trimmer off and wait for the rotating bit to completely stop before completely removing the tool from the work surface. TURNING THE TRIMMER THE TRIMMER See Figure 8. NOTE: Replace the base before using the trimmer. Do not attempt to operate the tool without the base installed. _ ON/OFF WARNING: Avoid hand positions that may expose fingers to bit through open areas of the base. Fingers entering the opening in the base can be seriously cut or burned. See Figure 7. To turn the trimmer ON, slide the switch on front of the tool to the ON position. Return the switch to the OFF position when finished. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the motor from overheating, do not let your hand cover the air vents. RIGHT-HANDED USE (WITH LAMINATE SUBBASE) ON Fig. 7 LEFT-HANDEDUSE (WITH LAMINATE SUBBASE) Fig. 8 13 DEPTH SETTING OF CUT DEPTH OF CUT See Figure 9. See Figure 10. 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 motor and bit. [] With the switch in the OFF position, remove the battery pack from the tool. [] Open the depth adjustment latch as indicated by the arrow. A deeper cut requires a slower feed than a shallow one. Making a cut that is too deep will slow the feed so that the bit is scraping, rather than cutting, and is not recommended. [] Slide the motor housing section of the tool upward until the tip of the bit reaches the work surface. The depth of cut is zero at this point. A too-deep cut can cause smaller bits to be broken off. Bits that are 1/16 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. [] Adjust the position of the tool to obtain the desired depth of cut by moving the motor housing section up or down, as shown by the up/down arrow. The distance the bit moves can be read on the depth of cut scale. Each mark on the scale indicates a 1/16 in. change in depth setting. Indicator points are located on the base. 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. [] Completely close the depth adjustment latch. A To make deeper cuts, it is necessary to make as many successive 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. NOTE: To make deeper cuts, it is necessary to make as many successive 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 ensure uniform depth when the final pass is completed. _I_L 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. with a single pass. Excessive depth of cut can result in loss of control and the possibility of serious personal injury. DEPTH OF CUT WARNING: Avoid open area of the base. Serious personal injury will result from contact with a rotating bit. WIDTH 0FCUT DEPTHOF CUTSCALE 1ST. PASS 2N0. PASS 1ST. PASS 2N0.

This 4 gives the tool a slight tendency to twist in a counterclockwise direction, especially when the motor starts. Feed the trimmer into the workpiece from left to right. When fed from left to right, the rotation of the bit pulls the tool against the workpiece. If fed in the opposite direction, the rotation forces of the spinning bit will tend to throw the tool away from the workpiece, causing kickback. This could result in loss of control of the tool. LU 0¢ j .......... JJ __ Because of the high speed of bit rotation during a proper feeding operation, there is very little kickback to contend with under normal conditions. However, if the bit strikes a knot, hard grain, foreign object, etc. that affects the normal progress of the cutting action, there will be a slight kickback. Kickback is always in the direction opposite the direction of bit rotation. This will affect the trueness of z BIT ROTATION FEED DIRECTION Fig. 11 GUIDEOUTSIDE your cut. To guard against kickback, plan your setup and direction of feed so that you will always be thrusting the tool in the same direction that the leading edge of the bit is moving. The thrust should be in a direction that keeps the sharp edges of the bit continuously biting straight into new (uncut) wood. THRUST FEED ROTATION GUIDE GUIDEINSIDE ROTATION _, GUIDE _" FEED THRUST Fig. 12 15 PROPER RATE OF FEED [] Listen to the sound of the motor. A high-pitched sound means you are feeding too slowly. A strained, lower pitched sound signals force feeding. Trimming and edge shaping depend upon careful setup and selecting the proper feed rate. [] Check the progress of each cut. Too-slow feeding can cause the trimmer to take off in a wrong direction from the intended line of cut. Force-feeding increases the strain of holding the tool and can result in damage to the tool. The proper feed rate is dependent upon: [] hardness and moisture content of the workpiece; [] depth of cut; NOTE: It is necessary that you do not exceed 1/8 _n. depth of cut for proper rate of feed. [] Notice the chips being produced as you cut. If the trimmer is fed too slowly, it will scorch or burn the wood. If the trimmer is fed too fast, it will take large chips out of the wood and leave gouge marks. [] cutting diameter of the bit. NOTE: Maximum bit size for roundover and edging operations is 3/8 in. max. Maximum straight bit size for rabbeting and dado operations is 1/4 in. Always test a cut on scrap piece of the workpiece wood or laminate before you begin. Always grasp and hold the tool firmly during use. For edge shaping in soft woods such as pine, a faster rate of feed can be used. When edge shaping in hardwoods such as oak, a slower rate of feed will be required. In all wood types, a slower rate of feed is required when cutting shallow grooves. When using the largest recommended straight bit (1/4 in.) in any type of wood, maintain a maximum cutting depth of 1/8 in. and a very slow feed rate to achieve the best quality cut. A cross-grain cut requires a slower pace than an identical cut with the grain in the same workpiece. Several factors will help you select the proper rate of feed. [] Choose a rate that does not slow down the motor. There is no fixed rule. Proper feed rate is learned through practice and use. [] Choose the rate of feed at which the bit advances firmly and surely to produce a continuous spiral of uniform chips or a smooth trim edge on laminate. 16 FEEDING TOO FAST/FORCE FEEDING FEEDING TOO SLOW See Figure 13. See Figure 14. The trimmer is a high-speed tool (28,000/min.), and will make clean, smooth cuts if allowed to run freely without the overload of a forced or too-fast feed. Three things that cause force feeding are bit size, depth of cut, and workpiece characteristics. The larger the bit or the deeper the cut, the more slowly the trimmer should be moved forward. If the wood is very hard, knotty, gummy or damp, the operation must be slowed still more. When the tool is advanced scrapes away sawdust-like cutting into the workpiece. can glaze, burn, or mar the Dull bits can also contribute It is more difficult to control into the work too slowly it particles instead of cleanly Scraping produces heat, which cut, and can overheat the bit. to scraping and burning. a trimmer when the bit is scraping instead of cutting. With practically no load on the motor, the bit will be revolving near top RPM. When feeding too slowly, the bit will have a greater than normal tendency to bounce off the sides of the cut, especially if the wood has a pronounced grain with hard and soft areas. The cut that results may have rippled sides instead of straight. Clean, smooth trimming and edge shaping can be done only when the bit is revolving at a relatively high speed and is taking very small bites to produce tiny, cleanly-severed chips. If the trimmer is forced to move forward too fast, the speed of the bit becomes slower than normal in relation to its forward movement. As a result, the bit must take bigger bites as it revolves. Bigger bites mean bigger chips and a rougher finish. Bigger chips also require more power, which could result in overheating of the motor and lower battery life. TOOSLOW Under extreme force-feeding conditions, the relative speed of the bit can become so slow - and the bites it has to take so large - that chips will be partially knocked off rather than fully cut off. This will result in splintering and gouging of the workpiece and will likely damage the tool.

It can also be used when routing grooves parallel to the edge of the workpiece or with ball-bearing piloted bits. HANDLE(S) The handles allow you to grasp and hold the tool with two hands, similar to grasping and holding a router. This tool is designed for roundover bits up to 3/8 in. and other edging operations. It is also useful for rabbeting or dado operations with straight bits up to a maximum diameter of 1/4 in. A A A WARNING: Do not use straight bits larger than 1/4 in. or edging bits which cut a pattern larger than 3/8 in. with this tool. Use of larger bits can result in loss of control and serious personal injury. i WARNING: Always use the laminate subbase for laminate trimming. Always use the woodworking subbase for trim routing applications. Use of the tool without a subbase or using the incorrect subbase can result in serious personal injury. i J WOODWORKING SUBBASE WARNING: Never install a bit larger than 1-1/4 in. diameter or larger in diameter than the opening in the subbase. The use of larger bits can result in loss of control and possible serious personal injury. SUBBASE SCREW(S) Fig. 15 ATTACHING THE WOODWORKING AND HANDLES SUBBASE ROUTING See Figure 15. IN A CIRCLE [] There are three holes marked R2", R2-1/2", and R3" on the woodworking subbase. Each number represents a radius and may be used when cutting circular grooves that are 4 in., 5 in. or 6 in. in diameter. [] Turn the switch to OFF and remove the battery pack from the tool. [] Turn the tool upside down to remove the four subbase screws and laminate subbase. [] Attach the woodworking screws. GROOVES See Figure 16.

[] Turn the tool upright and thread the handles provided into the threaded holes in the woodworking subbase. [] Tighten the handles securely. Check often to ensure the handles remain securely tightened. 18 ROUTCIRCULARGROOVECLOCKWISE A 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. with a single pass. Excessive depth of cut can result in loss of control and the possibility of serious personal injury. ROUTGROOVEFROMRIGHTTO LEFT FINiSHiNG NAIL ) \ WORKPIECE ROUTING GROOVES Fig. 16 PARALLEL TO AN EDGE See Figures 17- 18. You can use the scale provided on the woodworking subbase to cut a straight parallel line up to 1 in. from the edge of the workpiece. Fig. 17 [] The intersection of the horizontal and vertical lines at the center of the woodworking subbase indicates the center of the cutter. This is also the center of groove being cut. TRiM ROUTERUSEDWITH A BALL-BEARINGGUIDEDBIT [] For grooves more than 1 in. from the edge of workpiece, align the center of desired groove on the workpiece with the centerline on the woodworking subbase. Then measure from the centerline on the woodworking subbase to the guiding portion of the straight guide. Tighten the knob on the straight guide securely. [] Using "C" clamps and a board to act as the straight edge, place the cutter at the desired position on the workpiece and make the cut from right to left. NOTE: The board being used as a straight edge must be 1/4 in. thick to prevent contact with the trim router base. It must also be at least as long as the workpiece in order to be a guide. [] The thrust is from the trim router against the straight edge. [] Do not make a cut that is too heavy in one pass. If a deep cut is required, make successive passes at increasing depths with each new pass until you reach the desired groove depth.
