I will demonstrate to you the very simple procedures relating to usage of the laminate trimmer. However, before we do anything, quite often you will find yourself using a laminate trimmer as a mini router. There are procedures which you need to follow in order to safely and properly trim anything. Two very, very useful things will be clamps. It's nothing but a mechanical device that will allow you to safely lock your working surface into place and fast creating a guiding edge for your laminate trimmer. Always make sure that everything, the trim piece that you are going to be trimming, is either securely attached with clamps. It doesn't have a chance to slide and move on you. Remember that you are working with a tool that can be rotating at quite high speeds. Always treat every tool, every mechanical tool, like a rabid dog. It will bit you if you're not paying attention. Thank you!
