- Power On/Off: Plug the tool into a suitable power outlet. Use the starter switch to turn the trimmer ON and OFF.
- Starting the Cut: Hold the trimmer firmly with both hands. Allow the motor to reach full speed before contacting the workpiece.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your tool.
- Cleaning: After each use, unplug the tool and clean dust and debris from the motor vents and transparent base using a soft brush or compressed air. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Carbon Brush Replacement: The carbon brushes are external for easy access. When the motor performance decreases or sparks become excessive, the carbon brushes may need replacement. Unscrew the brush caps, remove the old brushes, and insert new ones. Ensure the new brushes are seated correctly before replacing the caps.
- Collet Maintenance: Keep the collet and collet nut clean and free of debris to ensure proper bit gripping.
- Storage: Store the trimmer in a dry, secure location, out of reach of children.
