From WIKI:

Determine whether it's time to trim. Though experts recommend avoiding pruning as much as possible, there are some circumstances that call for a trim. Start by determining if you really need to prune. And remember, the less pruning you can do, the better.
Prune to remove dead or dying fronds
To remove potential fire hazards, especially near buildings or homes
To increase visibility and safety near driveways or sidewalks
To prevent damage to buildings or homes during high winds
To remove fruit, seeds and flowers
It’s generally best to wait until the spring to trim a palm. Never prune for purely cosmetic reasons or else you may risk damaging the tree.
