ROTARY TOOL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Read and understand all warnings, cautions and operating instructions before using this
equipment. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in personal injury and tool damage.
1. WORK ENVIRONMENT. Do not operate the tool in wet or damp conditions; doing so significantly increases
the risk of electrical shock. Do not operate the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases.
2. TOOL INSPECTION. Before operation, check the tool for any damage or missing parts. Do not use the tool
if any part is missing or damaged. Do not use the tool if the power switch is faulty, the plug or cable is damaged,
or the tool produces sparks, smoke, or unpleasant odors (you may smell brushes burning for a few minutes as the
tool breaks in during the first use, that is okay). Make sure all adjustments are correct and all connections are tight.
3. ACCESSORIES INSPECTION. The accessory must have a rated speed higher than or equal to 32,000 RPM
(the maximum tool operating speed of your rotary tool), otherwise there is a risk of injury. The spindle size of the
accessory must properly fit the tool’s collet in order to be mounted securely. Before operation, inspect the acces-
sories for any chips, cracks or excess wear. Do not use damaged accessories.
4. WORKPIECE INSPECTION. Check the workpiece for any cracks, bumps, nails or obstructions before com-
mencing operation. Do not cut any workpiece that exceeds the rotary tool or the rotary tool bit’s operation capacity.
Check the position of all electrical wiring and plumbing equipment when drilling into walls, floors or ceilings.
5. SECURING THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps to secure the workpiece whenever possible to prevent wobble,
damage to the workpiece, and personal injury.
6. PERSONAL SAFETY. Always use safety goggles, a dust mask and hearing protection when using the rotary tool.
Always maintain a firm grip on the rotary tool by the insulated gripping surfaces only.
7. SETTING THE SPEED. Set the suitable speed for your operation, workpiece and accessory. Use slow speeds
for some plastics and precious metals
to prevent damaging the material. Use slow speeds (15,000 RPM or less) for
all brushing applications using wire wheels and polishing operations using felt polishing accessories. Use higher
speeds for drilling, carving, cutting, routing, shaping, cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood, metal and glass.
8. USING THE FLEX SHAFT. Never cross the flex shaft over itself during operation. Do not bend the flex shaft
near its connection to the rotary tool. Do not operate the flex shaft with a sharp bend. The recommended minimum
radius for the flex shaft is 5 inches. Bending the shaft farther than this can generate excessive heat and damage the
flex shaft. Make sure to lubricate the flex shaft inner coil every couple of hours of operation (see page 13).
9. TURNING ON THE TOOL. Before turning on the rotary tool, ensure that it is completely clear of the work-
piece. Let the tool reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece.
10. DURING OPERATION. Do not apply excessive pressure to the tool or attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the tool may cause kickback and damage the tool and accessories. Use special care when working
corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Never touch any moving parts of the tool by
hand. Never press in the spindle lock button when the rotary tool is running.
11. TURNING OFF THE TOOL. Clear the tool from the workpiece before switching off the tool. Wait for the
rotary bit to come to a complete stop before setting the tool down.
12. MAKING ADJUSTMENTS. Always turn off the machine and disconnect from the power source before
making adjustments or changing attachments. Do not remove the attachment from the tool until it has completely
stopped rotating. Do not touch the attachment immediately after operation, as it may be very hot. Allow time for the
attachment to cool and calm down before removing it.
