Safety Rules for Rotary Tools

wear eye protection.
Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application.
The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool.
Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety warnings common for
grinding, sanding, wire brushing,
polishing, carving or abrasive

This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher,
carving or cut-off tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power
tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by
the tool manufacturer.
Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power tool,
it does not assure safe operation.
The RATED SPEED of the accessories
must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their RATED
SPEED can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of
your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.
