VARIABLE SPEED ROTARY TOOL
9
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,
especially when working corners, sharp
edges etc.
This can cause loss of control and
kick-back.
If the work piece 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/sand near flammable materials
.
Sparks from 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 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, tungsten carbide cutters,
always have the work securely clamped.
Never attempt to hold the work with one
hand while using any of these accessories.
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 usually breaks. When
the steel saws, high speed cutters or tungsten
carbide cutters grab, they may jump from the
groove and you can loose control of the tool.
