GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
ALWAYS WEAR A DUST MASK DESIGNED FOR USE WHEN
OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.
!
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains 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, cement and other masonry products

Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your level of 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 dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the
tool, use proper circuit protection.
This tool is wired at the factory for 110–120 V operation. It must be
connected to a 110–120 V 15 A time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To
avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or
damaged in any way.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded.
! WARNING: Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious personal
injury.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
WORK AREA
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tool or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in potentially
explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may
ignite the dust or fumes.
When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an outdoor extension cord marked “WA” or “W”. These cords are rated for
outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors
away while operating the tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
PERSONAL SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use the tool while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized plug
only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in
any way. Double insulation eliminates the
need for the three-prong grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOL SAFETY
PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the
switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying
tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in tools that have the switch ON
invites accidents.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.
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.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or another practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand
or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
SERVICE
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in risk of injury.
Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool
for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
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.
Do not use the tool if the power switch
does not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Always use the correct collet size. If the
collet size is larger than the accessory
shank size it will not grip the shank
properly, leading to possible injury to the
operator or damage to the tool.
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.
Always check accessory bits, grinding
stones, cut-off wheels etc. for damage
before each use. Damaged accessories
can break during use and cause serious
injury.
Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and
the tool to jump and damage the bit.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care. Damaged bits
can snap during use. Dull bits require more
force to push the tool, possibly causing the
bit to break.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place the hands near or below the
cutting surface. Clamping the material and
guiding the tool with both hands is much
safer.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after use. After use the bit is too hot to be
touched by bare hands.
Never lay workpiece on hard surfaces like
concrete, stone, etc. Protruding cutting bit
may cause tool to jump.
Never operate the flexible shaft with a
bend radius of less that 6”. Shorter bend
radii will damage the flexible shaft and the
rotary tool motor.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well-ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working
in a safe environment reduces risk of
injury.
After changing the bits and accessories or
making adjustments, make sure the collet
nut and any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened. Loose adjustment
devices will be violently thrown.

Not Applicable
Make sure any extension cord used with
this tool is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one of
heavy enough gauge to carry the current
the tool will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating.
The table at right shows the correct size to
use according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gauge. The smaller the
gauge number the heavier the cord.
Be sure your extension cord is properly
wired and in good condition. Always
replace a damaged extension cord or have
it repaired by a qualified electrician before
using it. Protect your extension cord from
sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your
power tools. This circuit must not be less
than 14 gauge wire and should be
protected with either a 15 A time delayed
fuse or circuit breaker. Before connecting
the power tool to the power source, make
sure the switch is in the OFF position and
the power source is the same as indicated
on the nameplate. Running at lower
voltage will damage the motor.

weaken or destroy plastic.
It has been found that electric tools are
subjected to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure when they are
used on fiberglass boats and sports cars,
wallboard, spackling compounds or
plaster. The chips and grindings from
these materials are highly abrasive to
electric tool parts such as bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc.
