WARNING
Always be sure the switch is in the OFF position before
installing the battery pack. Failure to do so could cause
accidental starting, leading to serious personal injury.
■ Make sure the latches on each side of your battery pack
snap into place and the battery pack is secured in the
trimmer before beginning operation.
CAUTION
When placing battery pack in the tool, be sure raised rib
on battery pack aligns with the bottom of the tool and
latches into place properly. Improper installation of the
battery pack can cause damage to internal components.
REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 2.
■ Locate the latches on the side of the battery pack and
depress them to release the battery pack from the
trimmer.
■ Turn the switch to OFF and remove the battery pack
from the trimmer.
WARNING
Battery tools are always in operating condition.
Therefore, switch should always be off and the battery
pack removed when not in use or carrying at your side.
ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING/REMOVING TRIMMING BITS
See Figures 3 - 4.
If installing the bit for the rst time, it can be installed once
the collet nut is loose. If changing bits, the bit will easily slip
from the collet after loosening the collet nut.
■ Turn the switch to OFF and remove the battery pack
from the trimmer.
■ Place the trimmer upside down on a workbench.
■ To remove the laminate sub-base assembly, open the
depth adjustment latch. Slide the base upward, then
left, then upward again to remove the base.
■ Depress the spindle lock button.
■ Use the wrench provided to turn the collet nut in a
counterclockwise direction. Continue to depress the
spindle lock button while loosening the collet nut.
■ With the trimmer still upside down on a workbench,
insert the shank of the bit into the collet. The shank of
the bit should be close to but not touching the bottom of
the collet. This allows for expansion when the bit gets
hot. A clearance of 1.6mm (1/16”) is adequate.
NOTE: The collet is machined to precision tolerances to t
bits with 6.35mm (1/4”) diameter shanks.
■ Hand-tighten the collet nut. Then, depress the spindle
lock button and continue tightening the collet nut
with the wrench provided by turning it in a clockwise
direction.
WARNING
If the collet nut is not tightened securely, the bit may
come out during use, causing serious personal injury.
■ Replace the laminate sub-base assembly by sliding it
onto the tool, along the grooves on the sides of the tool.
NOTE: Replace the base before using the trimmer. Do not
attempt to operate the trimmer without the base installed.
■ Close the depth adjustment latch.
■ Replace the battery pack.
WARNING
If you are changing a bit immediately after use, be careful
not to touch the collet nut, bit, or collet with your hands or
ngers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup
from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
OPERATION
WARNING
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember that a careless fraction of a second is
sufcient to inict serious injury.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating tools. Failure to do so could
result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in
possible serious injury.
GRIPPING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 5.
The trimmer has a dual grip design that allows the operator
to hold the tool with either the right or left hand.
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.
Always hold the trimmer so that the switch is facing you and
your thumb is positioned above the depth adjustment latch.
To change grip positions, remove the laminate sub-base
assembly (See “INSTALLING/REMOVING TRIMMING
BITS”). Position the base for right- or left-handed operation.
NOTE: Replace the base before using the trimmer. Do not
attempt to operate the trimmer without the base installed.
