SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
LAMINATE TRIMMER
•
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorised service providers.
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.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden-
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
explosion or risk of injury.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature

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 avail-
able 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 wob-
bling that could indicate an improperly installed bit.
•
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, when
working in dusty situations, wear
appropriate respiratory protection or use an
OSHA compliant dust extraction solution.
•
•
• 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.
•
• 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.
WARNING
sawing, grinding,
Some dust created by power sanding,
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 paint
• 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
•
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130°C (265°F) may cause explosion.
Only operate the trimmer when held. Do not
clamp or secure the trimmer to a surface and hold
the workpiece by hand.
Always use common sense and be cautious
when using tools. It is not possible to anticipate
every situation that could result in a dangerous
outcome. Do not use this tool if you do not
understand these operating instructions or you feel
the work is beyond your capability; contact
MILWAUKEE
®
Tool or a trained professional for
additional information or training.
Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry
important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact a MILWAUKEE
®
service facility for a
replacement.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY RULES
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, personal
injury , and product damage due to
a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery
pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside
them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as
seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach
or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a
short circuit.
