As per hodge, duct tape first and then cut it. carbon splinters in your hand are not fun. learnt that one the hard way.

 

I did a few summer placements at a Carbon Fibre company (ACG in Heanor if your interested) and had to lay up and cut pre-cured and cured carbon fibre all the time.

Again from personal experience make sure you wear gloves and eye protection. I still have a chunk of carbon fibre (and epoxy) jammed under my right middle finger nail. Been there for nearly 10 years now. I can still see it there and have a nice scar also.

 

Anyway, we always used diamond tipped dremmel bits for cutting and trimming.
