ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
1. HOLD POWER TOOLS BY INSULATED GRIPPING SURFACES WHEN
PERFORMING AN OPERATION WHERE THE CUTTING TOOL MAY
CONTACT HIDDEN WIRING OR ITS OWN CORD. Contact with a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
2. USE CLAMPS OR OTHER PRACTICAL WAY TO SECURE AND
SUPPORT THE WORKPIECE TO A STABLE PLATFORM. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
3. DISCONNECT TOOL FROM POWER SOURCE before making
adjustments or changing bits.
4. TIGHTEN COLLET NUT securely to prevent the bit from slipping.
5. USE A CLAMP or some other device to hold the workpiece rigidly in position.
and clear the path of the tool of obstructions.
6. CHECK TO SEE THAT THE CORD will not “hang up” during trimming
operation.
7. CLEAR THE TRIMMER BIT AREA before starting motor.
8. MAINTAIN FIRM GRIP on trimmer to resist starting torque.
9. KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF CUTTER when motor is running to prevent
personal injury.

11. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool
down.
12. NEVER TOUCH router bits after use. They may be extremely hot.
13. NEVER TIGHTEN COLLET NUT without a bit.

DO NOT USE LAMINATE TRIMMER MOTOR WITHOUT THE
LAMINATE TRIMMER BASE INSTALLED. Loss of control could result,
causing personal injury or damage to work.
