Porter-Cable PCE6430 Instruction Manual page 5

• Not recommended for use in a router table.
• Avoid climb-cutting (cutting in direction opposite than shown in Figure 7).
Climb-cutting increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible
injury. When climb-cutting is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme
caution to maintain control of trimmer. Make smaller cuts and remove minimal
material with each pass.
• Be sure that the motor has stopped completely before you lay the laminate
trimmer down. If the bit head is still spinning when the tool is laid down, it could
cause injury or damage.
• Do not press spindle lock button while the motor is running. Doing so can
damage the spindle lock.
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may
appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and
create a hazard to the operator.
• If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wires may
exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this
worksite.
• Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and other foreign
objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the tool to jump and damage the
bit.
• Never lay workpiece on top of hard surfaces like concrete, stone etc...
Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.
• Do not leave tool running. Operate tool only when hand-held.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes,
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire
Gauge) for safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the
capacity of the cable, that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. When using more than one extension to make up the total length,
be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The
following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord.
