instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed
below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
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 jewelry. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry 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 these devices 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.
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 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 tools 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 and in the manner intended for the
particular type of power tool, 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.

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.
10. KEEP CUTTING PRESSURE CONSTANT. Do not overload motor.
11. LET THE MOTOR COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool
down.
12. NEVER TOUCH router bits after use. They may be extr emely hot.
13. NEVER TIGHTEN COLLET NUT without a bit.
14. DO NOT USE LAMINATE TRIMMER MOTOR WITHOUT THE LAMINATE
TRIMMER BASE INSTALLED. Loss of control could result, causing
personal injury or damage to work.
15. WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION. ALWAYS USE SAFETY
GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. USE CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Eye protection equipment should comply with ANSI
Z87.1 standards. Hearing equipment should comply with ANSI S3.19
standards.
16.
DUST OR OTHER AIRBORNE PARTICLES, INCLUDING WOOD DUST,
CRYSTALLINE SILICA DUST AND ASBESTOS DUST. Direct particles
away from face and body. Always operate tool in well ventilated area and
provide for proper dust removal. Use dust collection system wherever
possible. Exposure to the dust may cause serious and permanent
respiratory or other injury, including silicosis (a serious lung disease),
cancer, and death. Avoid breathing the dust, and avoid prolonged contact
with dust. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes, or lay on your skin
may promote absorption of harmful material. Always use properly fitting
NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust
exposure, and wash exposed areas with soap and water.

MOTOR
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60
cycle A.C. current and voltage within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on
the specification plate on the tool. Several models, however, are designed for
A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper voltage
and current rating.
Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is
not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only
on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.
