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.
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.
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 pro-
duces 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.
ACCESSORIES INSPECTION
• The accessory must have a rated speed higher than or equal to 35,000 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 accessories for any chips, cracks or excess wear. Do not use damaged acces-
sories.
WORKPIECE INSPECTION
• Check the workpiece for any cracks, bumps, nails or obstructions before commencing 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 ceil-
ings.
SECURING THE WORKPIECE
Use clamps to secure the workpiece whenever possible to prevent wobble, damage to the workpiece, and per-
sonal injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• Always use ANSI Z87.1-approved safety goggles, a dust mask and hearing protection during operation.
• Always maintain a firm grip on the rotary tool by the insulated gripping surfaces only.
SETTING THE SPEED
Set the suitable speed for your operation, workpiece and accessory. Use slow speeds for some plastics and pre-
cious metals
to prevent damaging the material. Use slow speeds (15,000 RPM or less) for all brushing applica-
tions 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.
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.
• Lubricate the flex shaft inner coil every couple of hours of operation to prevent overheating.
