Page 8 OPERATION 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. 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. HOW TO OPERATE YOUR TRIMMER Before starting your trimmer, unplug it and make sure cutter is securely tightened in collet and that depth of cut is properly set. Never start trimmer while cutter is in contact with the workpiece. After completing a cut, pull cutter slightly away from cut surface. Turn trimmer off and wait for rotating cutter to completely stop before removing base from work surface. Your trimmer is turned on by means of a slide switch located on top of the tool. Make a few cuts on a piece of scrap material to determine the desired depth or shape of cut. When cutting, fit the base of your trimmer over the work surface and firmly hold the body of your trimmer with your hand. Make sure the trimmer is running at full speed. For best results, move your trimmer from left to right, against the turning direction of the cutter. Be sure not to move trimmer too rapidly. Remain alert and watch what you are doing. [. . . ] DO NOT replace one side without replacing the other. s Reassemble using new brush assemblies. Make sure curvature of brush matches curvature of motor and that brush moves freely in brush tube. s Make sure brush cap is oriented correctly (straight) and replace. [. . . ]
