IMPORTANT! – Safety Instructions for all tools
WARNING: When using electric power tools, important safety precautions must always be adhered to in order to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Untidy benches and work areas invite injuries.
2. CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools
to rain. Keep work areas well lit.
3. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. Eg. Radiators, pipes, refrigerator
enclosures.
4. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors must be kept away from the work area. Do not let visitors come into contact with the
tool or extension cord.
5. STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place, out of reach of children.
6. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job in hand better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
7. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force a small tool to do the job of a heavy duty power tool. Do not use the tool for the
purpose it is not intended for , eg. Trying to drill through concrete with the 7.2v mini tool.
8. DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in moving parts. Gloves and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective head cover to contain long hair.
9. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face and dust mask to guard against dust.
10. DO NOT ABUSE THE CORD. Never carry the tool by the cord or pull the cord to disconnect the tool. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil or sharp objects.
11. SECURE YOUR WORK. Use clamps or a vice to hold your work in position. It is much safer than using your hand and it
frees both hands to operate the tool.
12. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
13. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and changing accessories. Keep hands dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
14. DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing and when changing any accessories.
15. REMOVE ADJSUTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Have the habit to check and see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the tool before turning on.
16. AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Do not carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure that the switch is off
when plugging in.
17. OUTDOOR EXTENSION CORDS. When the tool is used outdoors, only use extension cords intended for use outdoors and
so marked.
18. STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you are tired.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged, these must be carefully checked to
ensure that the tool will perform properly the intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation.
20. DO NOT OPERATE portable electric tools near flammable liquids or in gaseous or explosive atmospheres. Motors in these
tools normally spark, and the sparks may ignite fumes.

USEFUL HINTS & TIPS
1. Your mini tool will become warm after prolonged use and so must be switched off and allowed to cool down.
2. To ensure smooth running, the spindle should be oiled periodically.
3. Do not apply too much radial pressure to the accessory bits while polishing, cleaning, sanding or grinding. By doing so you
will put a strain on the spindle and adversely affect the precision of the tool.
4. Always work with a sensitive touch so as not to impede the efficiency of your mini tool.
5. When drilling metal, always mark the drilling point with a centre punch first, so that your rotary tool does not slip.
6. Always ensure that you have maximum contact between the accessory shaft and the collet chuck.
7. Vary the speed on the tool for the work in hand, eg. Low speed for polishing & cleaning and high speed for engraving
PLACING ACCESSORIES INTO THE TOOL
Always switch the tool off first. Hold the locking button at the front of the tool down and undo the collet chuck (anti-clockwise). Insert the
collet that matches the shaft size of the accessory to be used. Place the collet nut over the collet and then insert the accessory shaft into the
collet chuck ensuring maximum shaft contact. Then tighten up the collet nut. (DO NOT USE PLIERS). To add the LED light adaptor,
simply unscrew black end ring on tool and screw on the LED light. Use little lever switch on light adaptor to switch light on.
KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE FOR FUTURE USE.
