The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account

the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of

vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOLS

When using power tools, always observe the safety regulations applicable in your country to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read the following safety instructions before attempting to operate this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, user must read the instruction manual.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

Page 5

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All DEWALT tools are factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your DEWALT tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.

• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without supervision.

– This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

– Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised D

EWALT Service Centre in

order to avoid a hazard.

Extension Cords

CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.

Tool Safety Warnings

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may

contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the

power tool “live” and shock the operator.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece

to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed reccomended on the tool

warning label. Accessories running over rated speed can fly apar t and cause injury. Accessory ratings must always be above the tool speed as shown on tool nameplate.

• DO NOT CUT METAL.

• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. This

will enable better control of the tool.

• Maintain firm grip with both hands on laminate trimmer to resist starting torque.

• Keep hands away from cutting area. Never reach under the workpiece for any

reason. Keep the laminate trimmer base firmly in contact with the workpiece when cutting. These precautions will reduce the risk of personal injury.

• Never run the motor unit when it is not inserted into the base. The motor is not

designed to be handheld.

• Keep cutting pressure constant. Do not overload motor.

Page 6

Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the tool to jump and damage the bit.

• Never lay workpiece on top of hard surfaces like concrete, stone etc... Protruding

cutting bit may cause tool to jump.

• Do not leave tool running. Operate tool only when hand-held.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.

WARNING: ALWAYS wear approved protective safety equipment complying with the following standards:

• Eye protection: AS/NZS1337 Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications;

• Hearing protection: AS/NZS1270 Acoustics – Hearing Protection;

• Respiratory protection: AS/NZS1716 Respiratory Protective Devices.

WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known 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.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes,

or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.

WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use AS/NZS1716 approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to AS/NZS1270 during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this

product may contribute to hearing loss.

• Check to see that the cord will not snag or impede the trimming operation.

• Use sharp bits. Dull bits may cause the laminate trimmer to swerve or stall under pressure.

• Be sure that the bit is clear of the workpiece before starting the motor. If the bit is in contact with the workpiece when the motor starts, it could make the laminate trimmer jump, causing damage or injury.

• ALWAYS disconnect tool from power source before making adjustments or changing bits.

• Keep hands clear of bit when motor is running to prevent personal injury.

• Never touch the bit immediately after use. It may be extremely hot.

• Provide clearance under workpiece for bit when through-cutting.

• Tighten collet nut securely with provided wrench (17mm) to prevent the bit from slipping.

• Never tighten collet nut without a bit.

• Do not use bits with a diameter in excess of 25.4 mm (1 1/8") in this tool.

• Always use bits with a shank diameter of 6.35 mm (1/4") which corresponds to the size of the collet in your tool.

• Not recommended for use in a router table.

• Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction opposite than shown in Figure 8). Climbcutting increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury. When climb-cutting is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain control of trimmer. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.

• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before you lay the laminate trimmer down. If the bit head is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could cause injury or damage.

• Do not press spindle lock button while the motor is running. Doing so can damage the spindle lock.

• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.

• If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wires may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

• Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign objects.
