Safety Rules for Rotary Tools - (cont.)
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and
The direction of feed with the bit into the material when carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). 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.
If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to the tool is left “ON” the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.
Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to a complete stop is it 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 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 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.
