GENERAL SAFETY RULES Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 1) Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES continued on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. HOLD POWER TOOLS BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. USE CLAMPS OR OTHER PRACTICAL WAY TO SECURE AND SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE TO A STABLE PLATFORM. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

EXTENSION CORD SELECTION If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5 volts (10 volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix WA or W following the cord type designation.
CARTON CONTENTS 1. Trimmer motor 2. Trimmer base (or bases, if a kit is purchased) 3. Wrench (or wrenches, if a kit is purchased) ASSEMBLY NOTE: This tool is shipped completely assembled. No assembly time or tools are required. OPERATION MODEL 7301 MOTOR UNIT All laminate trimmers in this manual use the Model 7301 Motor Unit. TO START AND STOP THE MOTOR The "ON/OFF" switch (A) Fig. 1 is located on the side of the unit, close to the top. To start the trimmer, move the switch down to the "ON" position.
TO INSTALL THE BIT DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE. 1. On Models 7310 and 7319, you can install bits either with the motor unit attached or removed. NOTE: See the instructions (Model 7312) for installing the bit in the OFFSET trimmer. See instructions (Model 7320) for installing the bit in the UNDERSCRIBE trimmer. 2. Clean and insert the shank of the B C A bit (C) Fig. 2 into the collet until the end of the shank bottoms. Then withdraw the bit approximately 1/16". 3.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT 1. Loosen the base-locking screw (A) Fig. 4) approximately 1/4 turn. 2. Turn the depth-adjusting wheel (B) Fig. 4 to reduce or increase the depth of cut. 3. Tighten the base-locking screw securely. Make a test cut in scrap material to check the depth of cut. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until the desired depth of cut is achieved. A B Fig.
ATTACHING AND ADJUSTING THE BASE AND THE ROLLER GUIDE 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Remove the power unit from the base unit (see “TO INSTALL BIT”). Install the bit. The base and roller guide (A) Fig. 5 is assembled at the factory. To install, remove a sub-base mounting screw (A) Fig. 6 and insert the alignment pin (in the guide base) into the hole (C) in the bottom of the trimmer sub-base. Fasten with two mounting screws (F) Fig. 5 and (C) Fig. 7. Hand tighten for further adjustment.
USING STRAIGHT EDGE GUIDE You can use the straight edge guide (D) Fig. 5 with either bit for trimming straight edges. Attach it to the guide base and adjust similar to the other guides. MODEL 7319 TILT BASE TRIMMER ASSEMBLY Model 7319 Tilt Base Trimmer is completely attached at the factory. You can remove the base from the Model 7301 motor with a base locking screw (A) Fig. 8. NOTE: A flat washer (B) Fig. 8 is on the locking screw.
MODEL 7312 OFFSET TRIMMER ASSEMBLY Your Model 7312 Offset Trimmer was assembled at the factory. However, if you choose to attach an auxiliary base, use the following instructions: DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Remove the collet nut and collet from the motor unit. Attach the drive pulley (A) Fig. 10 to the motor spindle. Tighten securely. Use a phillips screwdriver to remove the three sub-base mounting screws (A) Fig. 11 from the base. Remove the sub-base.
TO INSTALL & REMOVE THE BIT DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE! 1. 2. Insert the long portion of the hex wrench (A) Fig. 13 through the spindle lock hole (B) Fig. 13, so that the wrench protrudes from both sides of the base housing. Rotate the spindle by hand to align the hole in the spindle with the holes in the housing. Clean and insert the bit shank into the collet. Tighten the collet nut securely with the collet wrench. B A Fig.
OPERATION DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE. Always wear safety glasses while operating a laminate trimmer. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Allow your workpiece to overhang the base material by at least 1/8". Firmly grasp the motor housing, being sure switch is in the “OFF” position. Ensure that the bit is clear of foreign objects and that the cord will not “hang up” on any obstructions. Hold the workpiece firmly in place. Use clamps when necessary. Plug in the power supply cord.
4. Secure the base (A) Fig. 19 on the motor (B) using the locking screw (E), spring (D) and washer (C) Fig. 18. NOTE: Orient the spring with the small end against the head of the locking screw. 5. Align the two holes in the underscribe attachment (G) Fig. 18 with the two holes in the base (A). 6. Attach the underscribe attachment (G) Fig. 19 to the base (A) with two screws and an eccentric washer. B E D C A G Fig. 18 Fig.
Trims odd angled corners less than or greater than 90°. Trims up to vertical surfaces. ADJUSTING THE BIT EXPOSURE DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SOURCE. E 1. 2. 3. Loosen the base locking screw (E) Fig. 20 approximately 1/4 turn. Turn the depth-adjusting wheel (D) Fig. 20 counter-clockwise (looking at top of wheel) to lower the bit until it touches the guide plate. Firmly tighten the locking screw (E). D Fig.
The “butt” joint is commonly used in the construction of face frames. To install a laminate covering on a face frame: Always wear safety glasses while operating a laminate trimmer. A B C D E F A B D Trimmer Base Sub-Base Installed laminate Guide Lip Bit Laminate C 1. E F Fig. 22 Cut the pieces of laminate covering to rough size. Apply contact cement to the face frame and the laminate pieces in the normal manner.
6. 7. 8. Verify that the bit is clear of foreign objects and that the cord will not get caught on any obstructions. Grasp the motor firmly to resist starting torque and move the switch button to the "ON" position. Allow the motor to reach full-speed. Feed the trimmer from right to left with a smooth steady motion. NOTE: The tapered edge of the underscribe base will slide underneath the rail covering, lifting the laminate into the cutter. 9.
