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, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving
blade, segmented diamond wheel with a
peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Do not "jam" the wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an
excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility
to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel
breakage.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power
tool and hold the power tool motionless
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a
hazard to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard
return springs may be improperly
mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc.
may damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must
only be serviced by a Dremel Service
Facility.
until the wheel comes to a complete stop.
Never attempt to remove the wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the
cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed
and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool
is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece
to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and
kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and
near the edge of the workpiece on both sides
of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket
cut" into existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding wheel may cut gas or water
pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can
cause kickback.
Additional Safety Warnings
Use
accessories. Other accessories may not fit
properly and lead to injury.
Do not use standard flat wheels for face
grinding. Side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter or burst.
Do not attempt to cut large stock or
sheets of metal as this machine is not
designed to be a dedicated cut-off
machine.
Do not collect dust (wood or metal) in
ordinary household vacuum cleaner. Lint
and other fibers in household vacuums are
easily combustible and may start a fire.
Do not vacuum and collect metal
shavings/dust with wood sawdust. Metal
shavings/dust becomes very hot during
abrasive cutting and will ignite wood dust.
When connecting tool to dust collection
and extraction systems, be sure these are
connected and used according to tool and
vacuum instructions. Proper use of dust
collection can reduce dust related hazards.
When using tool with dust collection and
extraction systems, empty the dust
container before beginning work,
frequently during work, after completion
of work, and before storing the tool. Be
