SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL (CONTINUED)

Do not allow familiarity gained from fre- quent use of your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification 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 med- ical applications. Serious 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 cant- ed 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 cut- off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually

breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cut- ters 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 drilling and other construction activities, contains chemi-

cals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some exam- ples 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.
