personal injury.
•
Do not overreach. Always keep proper footing and balance. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
•
Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
•
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•
Do not use the tool if the power switch does not turn it “ON” or “OFF”. A tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Disconnect the power cord plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other
condition that may affect the tool’s operation. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
•
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
•
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Important Safety Rules for Rotary Tools
•
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation
where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also
make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
•
Always
check the speed rating of accessories. This tool will spin accessories at up to
30 000 rpm. Accessories not rated for speeds this high will very likely fly apart and
could cause serious injury.
•
Let the rotary tool come to a complete stop before putting it down. The motor must
be switched off and the moving parts must have stopped.
•
Do not engage the shaft lock button if the tool shaft is still turning.
•
Switch off the tool immediately and unplug it if the tool locks up for any reason.
•
Never wear gloves when operating the tool. Use gloves only when changing hot bits
and accessories to avoid burns.
•
Rotary bits and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them.
•
Do not use in damp or wet locations. Do not operate tool in an explosive
atmosphere, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
•
Power tools create sparks, which may cause an explosion or fire.
•
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, or polisher.
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.
•
Use as intended only. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal 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 accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
