Additional Specific Safety Rules

1.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.

2.Tighten Collet nut securely to prevent the bit from slipping. Never tighten collet nut without a bit. Never adjust depth of cut while motor is running. A slip at this time may cause personal injury, or damage to cutter or workpiece.

3.Be sure cord set is free and will not “hang up” during trimming operations. A tangled cord could result in personal injury, or damage to work.

4.Keep hands clear of cutter when motor is running. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

5.Maintain firm grip on trimmer when starting motor to resist starting torque. Loss of control could result, causing personal injury, or damage to work.

6.Keep cutter clear of all foreign objects while motor is running. Provide clearance under workpiece for the bit when through-cutting. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

7.Be sure motor has completely stopped before setting trimmer down between operations. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of personal injury, or damage to work.

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

9.Do not use Laminate Trimmer motor without the Laminate Trimmer Base installed. Loss of control could result, causing personal injury, or damage to work.

10.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.

11. Use of this tool can generate and disburse 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.
