CAUTION
Do not look directly into the light from the LED
lamp. Continuous and direct exposure to the
light from the LED lamp can injure your eyes.
2. Adjusting the rotation speed
The M1808DA has an electronic control system that
allows rotation speed changes. As shown in Fig. 28,
dial position "1" is for minimum speed, and position "6"
for maximum speed.
3. Cutting Operation
CAUTION
When processing the side of a material, make
sure that the side to be processed is on the left
of the bit in the direction that the material is fed.
Placing the side to be processed on the right of
the bit goes counter to the bit's revolution and
may cause the motor to stop. Too much load in
such cases may result in malfunction.
NOTE
○ Do not press the lock pin while the motor is rotating.
Also, do not switch the tool on while pressing the lock
pin.
Doing so may damage the lock pin and/or shaft as
well as result in injury.
○ Please limit the cutting depth of a single cut to under
5 mm.
○ When cutting a deep groove, repeat the cut 2 or 3
times.
Deep cutting operations can make the tool diffi cult
to control and may overload the motor, resulting in
malfunction.
○ Moving the tool forward fast may cause a poor quality
of cut, or damage to the bit or motor. Moving the tool
forward too slowly may burn and mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the bit size, the
kind of workpiece and depth of cut. Before beginning
the cut on the actual workpiece, it is advisable to
make a sample cut on a piece of scrap lumber. This
will show exactly how the cut will look as well as
enable you to check dimensions.

○ Abnormalities and overloads will trigger the overload
protector, and stop operation. Remove the load
immediately, and turn the power off , then on. The
rotation speed should return to normal.
It is recommended that the most appropriate guide be
used which is suitable to the type of the work in order to
carry out the work exactly without failure.
(Refer to "Guiding the trimmer".) The workpieces to be
processed should be fi rmly fi xed.
(1) Keep the bit separated from the workpieces and hold
the body fi rmly before switch is turned on. (Fig. 29)
(2) The bit rotates clockwise (arrow direction indicated
on the base ass'y). To obtain maximum cutting
eff ectiveness, feed the trimmer in conformance with
the feed directions shown in Fig. 30.
