Collet Collet Nut Depth Of Cut Scale Wing Bolt Page 3 APPLICATIONS You may use the trimming and routing kit for the purposes listed below: Routing all types of timber. Cabinet making, trimming counter tops and finishing work. Trimming wood and plastics. ASSEMBLY If installing a cutter for the first time, it can be installed once the collet nut is loose. If changing cutters, cutter will easily slip from collet after loosening collet nut. The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit cutters with 6. 35 mm diameter shanks. With your trimmer still upside down on a workbench, insert shank of cutter into collet. The shank of your cutter should be close to but not touching the bottom of the collet. This allows for expansion when the cutter gets hot. Minimum radius: 70mm Maximum radius: 220mm Attention: The straight fence is unable to cut a radius between 172mm and 186mm. Wing Bolt Fig. 2 Washer Wing Bolt Fence OPERATION Center Hole WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when using your trimmer. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, chips, loose particles or foreign objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. If the operation is dusty, also wear a face or dust mask. Connector Bolt Fig. 5 WARNING: When turning your trimmer ON, be prepared for start-up torque. Always have a firm grasp of your trimmer before starting. Because of the high cutter speed rotation your trimmer has a tendency to twist, jerk or grab in your hands during start-up. If not prepared, this can cause a loss of control resulting in possible serious injury. Correctly aline the fence central hole to the required circle's center. Pushing a nail, with a diameter no more than 6mm into the hole, to firmly fix the fence. Move the tool around the nail in a clockwise direction. Nail STRAIGHT FENCE (Fig. 3) It is helpful to use the straight fence when trimming the straight edge or engraving a groove. [. . . ] Because of the extremely high speed of cutter rotation during "proper feeding" operation, there is very little kickback under normal conditions. However, should the cutter strike a knot, hard grain, foreign object etc, that would affect the normal progress of the cutting action, there will be a slight kickback -- sufficient to spoil the trueness of your cut if you are not prepared. Such a kickback is always in the direction opposite to the direction of cutter rotation. To guard against such kickback, plan your setup and direction of feed so that you will always be thrusting the tool to hold it against whatever you are using to guide the cut in the same direction that the leading edge of the cutter is moving.
