VARIABLE SPEED ROTARY TOOL

 

Keep your work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered benches & dark areas invite 

accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive 

atmospheres, such as in the presence of 

flammable liquids, gases or dust.

 Power 

tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust 

or fumes.

Keep by-standers, children and visitors 

away while operating a power tool.

 

Distraction can cause you to lose control.

Double insulated tools are equipped with 

a polarized plug (one blade is wider than 

the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized 

outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit 

fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still 

does not fit, contact a qualified electrician 

to install a polarized outlet. Do not change 

the plug in any way. 

Double insulation 

eliminates the need for a three wire grounded 

power supply system. Before plugging in the 

tool, be certain the outlet’s supplied voltage is 

within the voltage marked on the nameplate. 

Do not use “AC Only” rated tools with a DC 

Power supply.

Avoid body contact with grounded 

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges 

and refrigerators.

 There is an increased risk 

of electric shock if your body is grounded. 

If operating the power tool in damp locations 

is unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit 

Interrupter must be used to supply the power 

to your tool. Electrician’s rubber gloves and 

footwear will further enhance personal safety.

Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet 

conditions. 

Water entering a power tool will 

increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord 

to carry the tools or pull the plug from 

an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, 

sharp edges or moving parts. Replace 

damaged cords immediately.

 Damaged 

cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a tool outside, use an 

outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or 

“W”.

 These cords are rated for outdoor use 

and reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer to 

“Recommended sizes of Extension Cords” in 

the Maintenance section of this manual.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and 

use common sense when operating power 

tool. Do not use while tired or under the 

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. 

A moment of inattention while operating power 

tools may result in serious injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing 

or jewelry.

 Contain long hair. Keep hair, 

clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. 

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be 

caught in moving parts. Keep handles dry, 

clean and free from oil and grease.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch 

is “OFF” before plugging in

. Carrying tools 

with your finger on the switch or plugging in 

tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches 

before turning the tool “ON”.

 A wrench or 

key that is left attached to a rotating part of the 

tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach.

 Keep proper footing 

and balance at all times. Proper footing and 

balance enables better control of the tool in 

unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye 

protection.

 Dust mask, non-skid safety 

shoes, hardhat, or hearing protection must  

be used for appropriate conditions.
