and other foreign material from the workpiece
before operation.

Always use with the shoe securely attached to
the tool and positioned flat and firmly against
the workpiece.
14.
Hold the tool firmly.
15.
Do not perform any operation using your hands
to support or guide the workpiece.
16.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
17.
Do not use this tool for drilling.
18.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
19.
Always switch off and wait for the bit to come to
a complete stop before removing the bit from
workpiece.
20.
Do not touch the bit or the workpiece
immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
21.
Draw attention to the need to use cutters of the
correct shank diameter and which are suitable
for the speed of the tool.
