General Safety Rules
Warning! Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Save these instructions.
Work Area:
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Electrical Safety:
Double Insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.
Double Insulation eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power supply
system.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W."
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk
of electric shock.
Personal Safety:
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before
plugging in.
Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part
of the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of
the 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 way to secure and support
the workpiece 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 tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the 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 sharp cutting edges 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 tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. 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.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of
this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia etc. may damage plastic parts.
Specific Safety Rules for Rotary Tools
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing
an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of
the tool "live" and shock the operator. If cutting into
existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring
may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and
cause injury.
Always disconnect the power cord from the power source
before making any adjustments or attaching any
accessories.
You may unexpectedly cause tool to start leading to
serious personal injury.
Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool
down or when picking the tool up.
You may accidentally activate the switch.
Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use the tool
only in ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working in safe
environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make
sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened.
Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing
loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit.
The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not
always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one
minute before using wheel. During this time no one is to
stand in front or in line with the brush.
Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run in
time.
Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds
greater than 15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the
spinning wire brush away from you.

- 6 -
Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged
at high velocity during the "cleaning" action with these
brushes and may become embedded in your skin. Bristles
or wires will be discharged from the brush at high speeds.
Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding
wheels to avoid chipping or tracking. Install a new wheel if
tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that
may be damaged.
Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation will
fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or
bystanders.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be
handled with care.
Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more
force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical.
Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in
the other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient space
between your hand and the spinning bit.
Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a
tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to
"bite" or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece
allows you to use both hands to control the tool.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting
irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not
slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your hand.
For example, if carving wood, make sure there are no nails
or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects
can cause the bit to jump.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material.
The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the cutter.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when
working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of
control and kick-back.
The direction of feed with the bit into the material when
carving, routing or cutting is very important. 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.
If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down,
turn the tool off by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed
material.
If the switch of the tool is left on, the tool could restart
unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.
Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off.
Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is safe to put it
down.
Do not grind or sand near flammable materials.
Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use.
After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by
bare hands.
Regularly clean the tool’s air vents by compressed air.
Excessive accumulation of powdered metal inside the
motor housing may cause electrical failures.
Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your
rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
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 or in
medical applications.
Serious personal injury may result.
When using steel saws, cutoff wheels, high speed cutters
or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely
clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand
while using any of these accessories.
The reason is that these wheels will grab if they become
slightly canted in the groove, and can kick-back causing
loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand
should be used to steady and guide the hand holding the
tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten
carbide cutters grab, it may jump from the groove and you
could lose control of the tool.
