tions provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in
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.

WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
•
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operat-
•
ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• 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.
reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
•
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces
the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool.

switch on invites accidents.
A
• 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.
-
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• 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.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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
result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
LAMINATE TRIMMER
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•
ing the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor,
as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool
to twist.
• -
sition your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. The operator can control kick-
back forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Some woods contain preservatives that can be
toxic. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and
skin contact when working with these materials.
Request, and follow, any safety information available from your material supplier.
•
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the
tool in the other hand when using the tool. Never
place hands near or below cutting surface.
Clamping the material and guiding the tool with
both hands is safer.
•
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits can
break during use. Dull bits require more force to
push the tool, which could cause the bit to break.
Damaged bits can throw carbide pieces and burn
the workpiece.
•
After changing the bit or making any adjust-
ments, make sure the collet nut and any other
adjustment devices are securely tightened.
Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift,
causing loss of control. Loose rotating components
will be violently thrown. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate an improperly installed bit.
• Never start the tool when the bit is in contact
with the material. The bit cutting edge may grab
the material causing loss of control of the tool.
• Never lay the tool down until the bit has come
to a complete stop. The spinning bit can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
• Never touch the bit during or immediately after
use. After use the bit, collet, and collet nut may be
hot enough to burn bare skin.
• Never clamp the workpiece to a hard surface,
such as concrete or stone. Contact with the bit
could cause the tool to jump and loss of control.
•
Only operate the trimmer when held. Do not
clamp or secure the trimmer to a surface and hold
the workpiece by hand.
• Never use bits larger than the smallest of the
openings in the base, sub-base, or dust collection
port.
• Do not loosen or remove the plunge base caps.
Internal springs are under pressure. If loosened or
removed, the plunge base caps and internal springs
will become projectiles, which could cause injury.
•
