Porter Cable 59737 Manuel D'instructions page 4

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.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR LAMINATE TRIMMER
• 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.
• Always follow the bit manufacturer's speed recommendations as some
bit designs require specific speeds for safety or performance. If you are
unsure of the proper speed or are experiencing any type of problem, contact the
bit manufacturer.
• 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.
• 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 (17 mm) to prevent the bit
from slipping.
• Never tighten collet nut without a bit.
