How to Adjust Base of Laminate Trimmer

Now that we have a different bit attached to it as you can see where previously the ball bearing was sticking up above the base. We need to adjust this the exact way that the cutting edge will be sticking slightly above the base of the trimmer. To do that, make sure that the base is attached firmly with the locking level, undo the locking screw here and there is a little mechanical screw that will allow you to lower or raise the base as you need. In this particular case we need to lower the base and visually the easiest way is probably just to look right along the plane of the base. That will allow you to see how far the edge of the cutting edge is sticking out, protruding above the base.
