ASSEMBLY

Fig. 2

INSTALLING/REMOVING CUTTERS

See Figure 2.

n Unplug the trimmer.

n Place the trimmer upside down on a workbench to gain

easy access to the spindle and collet nut.

n Place the small end of one of the wrenches provided on

the spindle flats. This will hold the spindle stationary.

n Place the larger end of the other wrench provided onto

the collet nut. Rotate the wrench counterclockwise to

loosen the collet nut as shown in figure 2.

WARNING:

If you are changing a cutter immediately after use, be

careful not to touch the collet nut, cutter, or collet with

your hands or fingers. They will get burned because of

the heat buildup from cutting. Always use the wrench

provided.

n If installing the cutter for the first time, it can be installed

once the collet nut is loose. If changing cutters, the cutter

will easily slip from the collet after loosening the collet

nut.

NOTE: The tip of the cutter has a protective wax coating

that must be removed before first-time use. Simply peel

off the wax coating and be sure that all traces of wax are

removed before using the trimmer.

n The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit cut-

ters with 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) diameter shanks.

n With the trimmer still upside down on a workbench, insert

the shank of the cutter into the collet. The shank of the

cutter should be close to but not touching the bottom of

the collet. This allows for expansion when the cutter gets

hot. A clearance of 1/16 in. is adequate.

n Tighten the collet nut securely by turning clockwise with

the wrench provided as shown in figure 2.

WARNING:

If the collet nut is not tightened securely, the cutter may

come out during use, causing serious personal injury.

n Unplug the trimmer.

n Turn the trimmer upside down to remove the four sub-

base screws and laminate sub-base.

n Attach the woodworking sub-base using the same four

screws.

Tighten the screws securely. Do not overtighten.
