Additional Safety Information



WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of

it. Damage or personal injury couldresult.



WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday

eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or

dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR

CERTIFIED SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR

ROTARYTOOLS

a ) Always wear eye protection when using this tool!

b ) If accessory jams, turn tool off before freeing accessory

from thejam.

c ) Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when

performing an operation where the cutting

tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal

parts of the tool “live” and shock theoperator.

d ) When using cutoff wheels always have the work

securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work

with one hand while using any cuttingaccessory.

e ) Keep hands away from rotatingaccessories.

f ) Allow accessories and collets to cool before

touching with bare hands. They will be hot afterusing.

g ) Insure there are no foreign objects in the workpiece

such as nails which if hit could cause loss of control

ofunit.

h ) Always feed the cutter into the material in the

same direction as the chips are being thrown.

Feeding the tool in the wrong direction can cause loss

ofcontrol.

i ) Keep handles dry, clean, free from oil and grease.

This will enable better control of thetool.

j ) When cutting wood, extra care should be taken to

avoid inhalation and minimize skincontact.

k ) Wear ear protection. Noise level may be amplified

when using tool in enclosedspaces.

l ) This tool has an internal speed control, never use an

external speed control on thisunit.

m ) Do not use wornaccessories.

n ) Do not use grinding wheels that havecracks.

o ) When turning tool on, hold it away from your face, since

a damaged accessory could comeapart.

the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light

clothing and/or skin.

b ) 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.

c ) 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 INSTRUCTIONS FOR

WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS

Safety warnings specific for wire

brushing operations:

a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the

brush even during ordinary operation. Do not

overstress the wires by applying excessive load to

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

GRINDING AND CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

Safety warnings specific for grinding

and abrasive cutting-off operations:

a ) Use only wheel types that are recommended

for your power tool and only for recommended

applications. For example: do not grind with the

side of a cut‑off wheel. Abrasive cut‑off wheels are

intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to

these wheels may cause them to shatter.

b ) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only

undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved

shoulder flange that are of correct size and length.

Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.

c ) Do not “jam” a cut‑off 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 snagging of

the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or

wheel breakage.

d ) 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.

e ) 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.

f ) 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.

g ) 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.

h ) 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.
