IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

hold it in your hand or across your legs. Un-

stable support can cause loss of control and 

injury.

24. Be careful not to accidentally trip the power 

switch when setting the tool down or picking the 

tool up.

25. Make sure all nuts and screws are securely 

tightened after changing bits.

26. Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches 

are removed from the Rotary Tool before switch-

ing the tool "ON". Keys or wrenches can flyaway 

at high velocity striking you or a bystander.

27. Do not use the Rotary Tool if it has been dam-

aged, left outdoors in the rain, snow, wet or 

damp environments, or immersed in liquid.

28. Disconnect the plug from the power source 

before making any adjustments or changing 

accessories. Such preventive safety measures 

reduce the risk of starting the power tool 

accidentally.

29. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting 

edges are less likely to bind and are easier to 

control. Handle sharp bits with care.

30. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits 

etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-

ing into account the working conditions and the 

work to be performed. Use of the power tool for 

operations different from those intended could 

result in a hazardous situation.

31. Check the speed rating on all accessories. Ac-

cessories must never be run at a higher speed 

than they were designed to handle.

32. When using wire or bristle brushes, always 

wear protective gloves and a face shield. These 

brushes should never be run at speeds greater 

than 15,000 RPM.

33. Always run brushes at operating speed for a 

minute before using to eject loose wires and 

bristles. Be sure that the discharge is pointed 

away from you. Make sure no one is standing in 

front or in line with the brush.

34. Do not apply heavy pressure to wire or bristle 

brushes. This will only cause damage and/or 

personal injury. Brushes work best when applied 

lightly.

35. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. If 

the tool or wheel is dropped, install a new wheel 

before continuing. Avoid bouncing and snag-

ging the wheel as this may lead to cracking or 

chipping.

36. Never touch the collet or bit immediately after 

use.

37. Never place hands near the spinning bit.
38. Never start the tool while bit is engaged in the 

material.

38. Always feed the bit into the material in the same 

direction that the chips are thrown.

39. If the bit becomes jammed in the workpiece, 

turn the tool off at the switch. Once all moving 

parts have come to a stop, unplug the tool and 

work the bit free.

40. To prevent short circuits, clean the tool's vents 

regularly with compressed air.

41. This tool is not a dental tool. Do not use on the 

teeth of animals or humans.

42. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or 

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and 

any other condition that may affect the power 

tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power 

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are 

caused by poorly maintained power tools.

43. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the 

power tool is maintained. Follow instructions in 

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of 

unauthorized parts or failure to follow Mainte-

nance Instructions may create a risk of shock or 

injury.

44. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools 

must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. 

Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of 

children and other untrained persons. Switch off 

all unused electrical tools when stored. Discon-

nect battery from unit. Tools are dangerous in 

the hands of untrained users.
