Fit the bit: With power unplugged, insert a 6.35 mm router bit fully into the collet. Tighten using the supplied wrench until secure.
Set depth: Use the trimmer’s base and an edge guide to set the cut depth. Test on scrap wood first to confirm depth.
Start & feed: Switch on the trimmer and allow it to reach full speed before contacting the work. Move the trimmer in the correct direction relative to the bit rotation (against the bit rotation for steady cuts).

Clean dust and debris after each use to extend motor life.
