SAFETY
Read and save all instructions. Before use, be sure everyone using this machine reads and under-
stands this manual, as well as any labels packaged with or attached to the machine.
1. Know Your Elliott Roto-Jet™. Read this manual carefully to learn your tool’s applications and
limitations, as well as potential hazards, associated with this type of equipment.
2. Keep Work Area Clean and Well Lighted. Cluttered, dark work areas invite accidents.
3. Dress Properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Wear a protective hair covering to contain long
hair. It is recommended that the operator wear safety glasses with side shields or a full face shield eye
protection. Gloves and water repellant, nonskid footwear are also recommended. Keep hands and
gloves away from moving parts.
4. Use Safety Equipment. Everyone in the work area should wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields complying with current safety standards. Wear hearing protection during extended use,
respirator for a confined space and a dust mask for dusty operations. Hard hats, face shields, safety
shoes, respirators, etc. should be used when specified or necessary.
5. Keep Bystanders Away. Bystanders should be kept at a safe distance from the work area to avoid
distracting the operator and contacting the flexshafting or machine. Only the operator of the machine
should engage the foot switch control. NEVER PLACE A WEIGHTED OBJECT ON THE FOOT SWITCH
TO PRODUCE CONTINUOUS OPERATION OF THE MACHINE.
6. Protect Others in the Work Area from debris such as water exhaust and water spray. Provide barriers
or shields as needed.
7. Use the Right Cleaning Device. Do not use a cleaning device or attachment to do a job for which it
is not recommended. Refer to the Elliott E-100 catalog for all optional equipment. Do not alter the
machine or cleaning device, this will void the warranty on the product.
8. Use Proper Accessories. Use Elliott accessories only. Be sure accessories are properly installed and
maintained. Do not defeat a guard or other safety device when installing an accessory or attachment.
9. Check for Damaged Parts. Inspect guards and other parts before use. Check for misalignment,
binding of moving parts, improper mounting, broken parts or any other conditions that may affect
operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, turn the machine off immediately and have the
problem corrected before further use. Do not use a damaged machine. Tag damaged machines “Do
Not Use” until repaired. A guard or other damaged part should be properly repaired or replaced by an
Elliott service facility. For all repairs, insist on only identical replacement parts.
10. Remove All Wrenches. Check that all accessory wrenches are removed from the system before
turning it on.
11. Avoid Accidental Starting. Be sure your machine is turned off before supplying air pressure. Do not
use a machine if the foot control switch is not turning the machine on and off. NEVER USE ANY
OBJECT TO HOLD THE FOOT SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION.
12. Do Not Force the Flexshaft. Your Elliott Roto-JetTM will perform best at the rate for which it was
designed. Excessive force only causes operator fatigue, increased flexshaft wear, shaft or break-away
coupling failure.
13. Keep Hands Away from All Moving Parts.
14. Do Not Overreach - Maintain Control. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
