Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing,pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Use only in well-ventilated area. Working in a safe environment reduces risk of injury.
Allow for sufficient space, at least 6”,between your hand and the spinning bit. Do not reach in
the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always be
obvious.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by
bare hands.
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 applica-
tions. Serious injury may result.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the
wheel to climb out or kickout. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may
also break under these conditions.Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from
the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the
wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in
the direction of this feed.
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always
have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the
groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When
a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove
and you could lose control of the tool.
