Accessories must be rated for at least the

speed recommended on the tool warning

label. Wheels and other accessories running

over rated speed can fly apart and cause

injury.
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. If cutting into existing

walls or other blind areas where electrical

wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect

all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this

worksite.
Do not operate the flexible shaft with a

sharp bend. Over bending the shaft can

generate excessive heat on the jacket or

hand piece.  The recommended minimum is

6" radius.
Always disconnect the power cord from

the power source before making any

adjustments or attaching any accessories.

You may unexpectedly cause the tool to start

leading to serious personal injury.
Be aware of the switch location, when

placing the tool down or when picking the

tool up. You may accidentally activate the

switch.
Always hold the hand piece firmly in your

hands during the start-up. The reaction

torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full

speed, can cause the shaft to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust

mask.  Use only in well ventilated area.

Using personal safety devices and working in

safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any

adjustments, make sure the collet nut and

any other adjustment devices are securely

tightened. Loose adjustment device can

unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,

loose rotating components will be violently

thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning

bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your

hand may not always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed

for at least one minute before using

wheel. 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.
Wire and bristle brushes must never be

operated at speeds greater than

15,000/min. 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

“cleaning” action with these brushes and may

become imbedded in your skin. Bristles or

wires will be discharged from the brush at

high speeds.
Carefully handle both the tool and

individual grinding wheels to avoid

chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel

if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not

use a wheel that may be damaged.

risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children

and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting

tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained

tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely

to bind and are easier to control. Any

alteration or modification is a misuse and

may result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, and any

other condition that may affect the tools

operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop

a periodic maintenance schedule for your

tool.
Use only accessories that are

recommended by the manufacturer for

your model. Accessories that may be

suitable for one tool, may become

hazardous when used on another tool.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by

qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified

personnel could result in a risk of injury. For

example: internal wires may be misplaced or

pinched, safety guard return springs may be

improperly mounted. 
When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual.

Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a risk

of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning

agents such as gasoline, carbon

tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage

plastic parts.
