the tool is left “ON” the tool could restart unexpected- ly causing serious personal injury.
Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is safe to put it down.
Do not grind or sand near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents by compressed air. Excessive accumulation of powdered metal inside the motor housing may cause electrical failures.
Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is suf- ficient to inflict severe injury.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modifi- cation is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury.
This product is not intended for use as a dental drill, in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious personal injury may result.
When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand while using any of
these accessories. The reason is that these wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback causing loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand should be used to steady and guide the hand holding the tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
!WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
•Lead from
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to fil- ter out microscopic particles.
