OPERATION
WARNING:
Battery tools are always in operating condition. There-
fore, switch should always be off and the battery pack
removed when not in use or carrying at your side.
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 opera-
tion, 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 as-
sembly (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.
WARNING:
Avoid hand positions that may expose fingers to bit
through open areas of trimmer base. Fingers entering
the opening in the trimmer base can be seriously cut or
burned.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the motor from overheating, do not
let your hand cover the air vents.
STARTING/STOPPING THE TRIMMER
See Figure 6.
To turn the trimmer ON (I), slide the switch on front of the
trimmer to the ON (I) position. Return the switch to the OFF
