ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the
cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation,
is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a
complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off
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 pinching or snagging.
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.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE
BRUSHING OPERATIONS:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using them. 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.
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away
from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be
discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes
and may become imbedded in your skin.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other common rotary tool activities that
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Always use proper guard with grinding wheel. A guard
protects operator from broken wheeel fragments.
Know your power tool. Read operator's manual carefully.
Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the
specific potential hazards related to this tool. Following
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious
injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
Keep pets away while operating this tool.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service
center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of shock, fire
or serious injury.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before using
this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious
personal injury.
Do not grind or sand heat flammable materials. Sparks
from the wheel could ignite these materials.
This product is not intended for use as a dental drill or in
human or veterinary medical applications. Serious injury
may result.
When using steel screws, cut-off 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.
For organic material, a flex shaft accessory is required.
Proper cleaning and sanitizing is required after use. Any
material including organic material cut or altered by this tool
is not intended nor suitable for human consumption.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use
them to instruct others who may use this product. If you loan
someone this product, loan them these instructions also.
