Always hold the tool with two hands during start- up. The reaction torque of the motor can cause the tool to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the accessories or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning accesso- ry. The proximity of the spinning accessory to your hand may not always be obvious.
