Laminate Trimmer Safety

Video Transcript

We will be talking about laminate trimmers. A laminate trimmer is a tool used to trim either Formica or very thin pieces on the finished pieces. With regard to safety, the first thing that you always have to do is to read and understand all the manuals that do come with the tool. Second, very very important, is obviously your safety glasses. Always wear them! You never know what may fall into your beautiful eyes! Thirdly, I do have a little microphone which you obviously do not want to wear when you work with a mechanical tool. As far as your clothing and any type of rings, always try to take them off because they may get caught. As far as the shirt, if you have a long sleeve shirt, roll it down and button it up. That will prevent from getting snagged into the base or any of the mechanical parts which can endanger your limbs. Always take a look at your tool. Make sure that the tool has no cracks in the housing- this is called the housing. Make sure that the cord is properly attached. Make sure that there is no visible damage, either to the tool itself or any mechanical parts. Inspect the tool very thoroughly. Remember, this turns close to 4500 RPMs. Any type of tools attached to this machine will go like a projectile. It will also endanger you. So this is very, very important in usage of this particular thing. Always check your connecting plug to make sure that there are no broken wires and that everything looks okay to you. The same with the switches. There is a little toggle switch on it, which we will talk a little about later, and of course it causes the machine to go on and off. I guess this pretty much would cover the safety part of this little video.
