Always hold the tool with two hands during start-up. The reaction torque of the motor can cause the tool to twist.

When routing or cutting, the direction of feed with the bit’s cutting edge into the material is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material. When viewing the tool from the top, the bit rotates clockwise. If the tool is between the workpiece and you body, then feed the tool to your right . If the workpiece is between the tool and your body, then feed the tool to your left. Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

Never touch the bit during or immediately after the use. After use the bit is too hot to be touched by bare hands.

Never lay the tool down until the motor has come to a complete standstill. The

spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control.

Never use bits that have a cutting diameter greater than the opening in the base.

Do not use the tool for drilling purposes. This tool is not intended to be used with drill bits.

Always use the tool with the depth guide securely attached and positioned flat against material being cut. The guide securely positioned on the material improves the stability and control of your tool.

Do not use the Zipmate attachment without the hard auxiliary control handle. The soft band handle does not provide a sufficient control for grinding operation.

!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 lead-based paints,

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 filter out microscopic particles.
