GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply.
While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or
against your body leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only
be serviced by a Dremel Service Facility.
Do not use type 1A or 27A wheels for face
grinding.
Side forces applied to these wheels
may cause them to shatter or burst.
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
Do not cut solid metal rod
greater than 5/16". Tool
may become damaged.

WARNING
Do not use dust extraction for operations
that include burning, smoking or
smoldering items like hot ashes or sparks.
Fire inside the vacuum tank or bag may occur.
Dust may smolder and set vacuum on fire
long after work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive
dusts, varnish, polyurethane coatings,
cleaners, or oil-based paints.
Electric
motors create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Do not use dust extraction when working
on metal.
Swarf from sanding, grinding or
cutting metal may be hot and may spark which
may melt plastic adaptors, vacuum hoses, and
may cause a fire inside the vacuum tank or
bag.
