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 and/or the battery pack 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.
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 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.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that
the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC
means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this
range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D
E
WALT tools are
factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your D
E
WALT
tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.

E
WALT Service Centre in
order to avoid a hazard.
Extension Cords
CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical
Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires,
damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.
Tool Safety Warnings
• 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.
• Accessories must be rated for at least the speed reccomended on the tool
warning label. Accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury. Accessory ratings must always be above the tool speed as shown on tool
nameplate.
• 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.
