19. Stay alert
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense.
Do not operate tool when you are tired.
20. Check damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other
part that is damaged should be carefully checked
to determine that it will operate properly and per-
form its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that
may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or
replaced by an authorized service center unless
otherwise indicated elsewhere in this instruction
manual. Have defective switches replaced by
and authorized service center. Do not use tool if
switch does not turn it on and off.
21. Warning
The use of any other accessory or attachment
other than recommended in this operating
instruction or the catalog may present a risk of
personal injury.
22. Have your tool repaired by an expert
This electric appliance is in accordance with the
relevant safety rules. Repairing of electric appli-
ances may be carried out only by experts other-
wise it may cause considerable danger for the
user.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
ENB050-2
1. Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
2. Wear eye protection, dust mask and hearing pro-
tection.
3. Ventilate your work area adequately.
4. Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage
before operation. Replace cracked or damaged
bit immediately.
5. Check for the proper clearance beneath the
workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not
strike a hard surface such as the floor, work-
bench, etc.
6. Do not cut metal objects such as nails and
screws. Inspect for and remove all nails, screws
and other foreign material from the workpiece
before operation.
7. Check that the bit is not contacting the work-
piece before the switch is turned on. Always
hold the tool with two hands while switching the
tool on. The motor torque can cause the tool to
turn.
8. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let
it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate improperly installed bit.
9. Make sure that the shaft lock is released before
the switch is turned on.
10. Always use with the shoe securely attached to
the tool and positioned flat and firmly against
the workpiece.
11. Hold the tool firmly.
12. Do not perform any operation using your hands
to support or guide the workpiece.
13. Keep hands away from moving parts.
14. Do not use this tool for drilling.
15. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
16. Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to
a complete stop before removing the bit from
workpiece.
17. Do not touch the bit or the workpiece immedi-
ately after operation; it may be extremely hot and
could burn your skin.
18. Always lead the power supply cord away from
the tool towards the rear.
19. Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the
correct shank diameter and which are suitable
for the speed of the tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing bit (Fig. 1)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the bit.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or
the collet cone will break.
To install the bit, insert the bit all the way into the collet
cone. Press the shaft lock to keep the shaft stationary
and use the wrench to tighten the collet nut securely.
NOTE:
When using the bit with 6.35 mm (1/4”) shank diameter,
first remove the adapter from the collet cone, then install
the bit.
To remove the bit, follow the installation procedure in
reverse.
Changing the collet cone (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before changing the collet cone.
• Use the correct size collet cone and adapter for the bit
which you intended to use.
• Do not tighten the collet nut without inserting a bit, or
the collet cone will break.
To change the collet cone, loosen the collet nut and
remove. Remove installed collet cone and adapter and
replace with desired collet cone and adapter. Reinstall
collet nut.
Adjusting depth of cut (Fig. 3)
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting depth of cut.
To adjust the shoe, turn the thumb screw to loosen. Slide
the shoe to the desired position and tighten the thumb
screw securely. Check for the proper clearance beneath
the workpiece before cutting so that the bit will not strike
a hard surface such as the floor, workbench, etc.
