Safety Instructions
A Micromotor Handpiece is a high speed
rotary power tool which can be danger-
ous and cause serious injury if it is not
used properly. NEVER operate it without
wearing eye protection.
•
ALWAYS wear proper eye and
face protection.
•
ONLY use accessories rated for speeds
of 30,000 rpm or higher when operating
this micromotor.
•
ALWAYS
observe the manufacturer’s maxi-
mum speed rating when using any accessory.
•
NEVER
use or continue to use any acces-
sory which appears to be damaged, loose,
vibrating, bent, or out of balance. Inspect
each accessory for cracks or flaws before use.
•
ALWAYS
insert the shank or arbor of an
accessory or mandrel into the collet or chuck
of the handpiece as far as possible in order to
provide proper support and close the collet or
chuck securely.
DO NOT
use accessories with
shanks that are less than 1
″
(25mm) long.
•
NEVER
use excessive side pressures which
may tend to bend or break the shank or arbor
of an accessory. Let the speed of the acces-
sory do the work.
•
DO NOT
stall the motor by jamming or us-
ing excessive pressure on the mounted point,
buff, wheel or accessory. This can result in
damage to the motor.
•
WEAR
a dust protector to prevent the inha-
lation of harmful dust or debris from grinding,
carving or other operations performed with
this power tool.
•
DO NOT
cover the ventilation slots or
handpiece motor with cloth or tape. Air must
pass freely through the intake and exhaust
ventilation slots to properly cool the motor.
If the power cord or plug to the handpiece is
damaged, repair or replace immediately.
•
NEVER
use a damaged power cord or
adapter. ONLY use the power adapter that
came with the K.1030 Kit.
•
USE
a dust collector or filter hood to pull
sawdust, grinding dust, or other debris away
from the work area and the micromotor
intake vents.
•
NEVER
wear open shoes or sandals. Use
foot-wear that is tough enough to protect
your feet from falling tools.
•
ALWAYS
keep both hands and fingers
away from the cutting edge.
•
NEVER
cut or exert pressure, toward your
hand or any other part of your body.
•
DO NOT
wear loose fitting clothing or
jewelry. Loose clothing or jewelry can be-
come entangled in the tool. Do not wear
items such as neckties, necklaces, or
bracelets when operating power tools.
Secure or tie back long hair.
•
NEVER
turn on or start the Handpiece
while the collet is in open (unlocked) posi-
tion. This can damage the handpiece.
•
ALWAYS
operate and store it with a bur
or other accessory in the collet and with the
collet in the closed position.
•
NEVER
plug the Handpiece into the On/
Off Foot Control Connection Port on the side
of the Control Unit.
ONLY
plug the Hand-
piece into the Handpiece Connection Port on
the Top of the Control Unit.
•
DO NOT
operate the handpiece in the
presence of any flammable liquid or gas.
•
NEVER
drop the Control Unit or Micromo-
tor Handpiece.
•
NEVER
plug or unplug the power cord
with wet hands.
•
NEVER
allow water or liquids to spill onto
any parts of the K.1030 Micromotor Kit.
•
DO NOT
operate or store the unit in a
high heat environment such as direct sun,
a parked car in hot weather, near a flame
or stove. Minimum and maximum working
environment temperatures are 32°F – 104°F
(0°C – 40°C).
•
The K.1030 Micromotor has a Lithium
Ion battery that should NEVER be
thrown in the trash.
Recycle Lithium Ion
batteries in accordance with local laws.
www.call2recycle.org
is a good source of
recycling locations in the US and Canada.
NEVER
throw the battery into a fire as
it could explode. Should the electrolytic
chemicals spill and get in your eyes wash
immediately with water. Remove and wash
any clothing or article that has spilled battery
chemicals with water.
