ROTARY TOOL SAFETY RULES
6
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may
contain chemicals, including lead and wood dust, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
• 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 expo-
sure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area with approved safety equipment such as dust masks
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
ROTARY TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Battery tools do not need to be plugged into an electrical outlet, therefore they are always ready to oper-
ate. Beware of the possible hazards when not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or personal injury.
2. Always turn off the machine before making adjustments or changing attachments. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Do not remove the attachment from the
tool until it has completely stopped rotating.
3. Maintain power tools properly. Safely store power tools out of the reach of children. Always keep tools
clean and in good working order.
4. Servicing of the tool should only be performed by an authorized service technician, using identical re-
placement parts.
REDUCING KICKBACK
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 jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Take proper safety prevention methods to reduce the risk of kickback:
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use the auxiliary handle for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-
up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessories may kick back over your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners or sharp edges have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
