USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
USB052-2
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from
repeated use) replace strict adherence to trimmer safety rules. If
you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious
personal injury.
1.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord.
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”
and shock the operator.
2.
Wear hearing protection during extended
period of operation.
3.
Handle the bits very carefully.
Contact with a “live” wire will
4
4.
Check the bit carefully for cracks or damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged bit immediately.
5.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and
remove all nails from the workpiece before
operation.
6.
Hold the tool firmly.
7.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8.
Make sure the bit is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9.
n
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.
10.
Be careful of the bit rotating direction and
the feed direction.
11.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the
tool only when hand-held.
12.
Always switch off and wait for the bit to
come to a complete stop before removing
the tool from workpiece.
13.
Do not touch the bit immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and
could burn your skin.
14.
Always lead the power supply cord away
from the tool towards the rear.
15.
Do not smear the tool base carelessly with
thinner, gasoline, oil or the like. They may
cause cracks in the tool base.
16.
Draw attention to the need to use cutters
of the correct shank diameter and suitable
for the speed of the tool.
17.
Some material contains chemicals which
may be toxic. Take caution to prevent
working dust inhalation and skin contact.
Follow material supplier safety data.

Adjusting amount of chamfering
To adjust the amount of chamfering, loosen the wing nuts
and adjust the trimmer shoe.
CAUTION:
• With the tool unplugged and switch in the “OFF” position,

CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always be sure that the tool
is switched off.
To start the tool, move the switch lever to the I (ON) position.
To stop the tool, move the switch lever to the O (OFF) position.
The tool equipped with electronic function is easy to operate
because of the following features.
Constant speed control
Electronic speed control for obtaining constant speed. Possible to get fine finish, because the rotating speed is kept constant even under load condition.
Soft start
Soft-start feature minimizes start-up shock, and makes the
tool start smoothly.
Lighting up the lamps
CAUTION:
• Do not look in the light or see the source of light directly.
To turn on the lamp, start the tool. Then, the lamp lights up
the top of the bit. To turn it off, stop the tool.
NOTE:
• Use a dry cloth to wipe the dirt off the lens of lamp. Be
careful not to scratch the lens of lamp, or it may lower the
illumination.

Turn the tool on without the bit making any contact with the
workpiece and wait until the bit attains full speed. Then move
the tool over the workpiece surface, keeping the tool base
and trimmer shoe flush with the sides of the workpiece.
NOTE:
• This tool can be used as a conventional trimmer when
you remove the trimmer shoe.
When doing edge cutting, the workpiece surface should be
on the left side of the bit in the feed direction.

NOTE:
• Moving the tool forward too 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.
CAUTION:
• Since excessive cutting may cause overload of the motor
or difficulty in controlling the tool, the depth of cut should
not be more than 3 mm (1/8”) at a pass when cutting
grooves. When you wish to cut grooves more than 3 mm
(1/8”) deep, make several passes with progressively
deeper bit settings.

Remove the tool base from the tool. Loosen the wing bolts
and secure the tool base horizontally. Loosen the two screws
on the tool base.
Place the templet guide on the tool base. There are four convex portions on the templet guide. Secure two of the four
convex portions using the two screws. Install the tool base on
the tool.
001988
Secure the templet to the workpiece. Place the tool on the
templet and move the tool with the templet guide sliding
along the side of the templet.
NOTE:
• The workpiece will be cut a slightly different size from the
templet. Allow for the distance (X) between the router bit
and the outside of the templet guide. The distance (X)
can be calculated by using the following equation:
Distance (X) = (outside diameter of the templet guide –
router bit diameter) / 2

If the distance (A) between the side of the workpiece and the

used. In this case, firmly clamp a straight board to the workpiece and use it as a guide against the trimmer base. Feed
the tool in the direction of the arrow.

Circular work
Circular work may be accomplished if you assemble the
straight guide and guide plate as shown in the figure.

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
MAKITA LIMITED ONE YEAR WARRANTY
Warranty Policy
Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. It is warranted to be free of
defects from workmanship and materials for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase.
Should any trouble develop during this one-year period, return the COMPLETE tool, freight prepaid, to one of
Makita's Factory or Authorized Service Centers. If inspection shows the trouble is caused by defective
workmanship or material, Makita will repair (or at our option, replace) without charge.
This Warranty does not apply where:
• repairs have been made or attempted by others:
• repairs are required because of normal wear and tear:
• the tool has been abused, misused or improperly maintained:
• alterations have been made to the tool.
IN NO EVENT SHALL MAKITA BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES FROM THE SALE OR USE OF THE PRODUCT. THIS DISCLAIMER APPLIES BOTH DURING
AND AFTER THE TERM OF THIS WARRANTY.
MAKITA DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
"MERCHANTABILITY" AND "FITNESS FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE," AFTER THE ONE-YEAR TERM OF
THIS WARRANTY.
This Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary form state to state.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Some states do not allow limitation on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you.
