INSTALLING/REMOVING TRIMMING BITS
See Figures 2 - 3.
If installing the bit for the first 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 coun-
terclockwise 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 1/16 in. is adequate.
NOTE: The collet is machined to precision tolerances to fit
bits with 1/4 in. 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 in-
stalled.
 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
fingers. They will get burned because of the heat buildup
from cutting. Always use the wrench provided.
