IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.

Some dust created by grinding, drilling, sawing, sanding, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints.

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your 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.

Handling the power cord on this product may expose you to lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.

CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in
minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in property damage.

NOTE provides additional information that is useful
for proper use and maintenance of this tool. If a
NOTE is indicated make sure it is fully understood.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered work benches and dark work

areas may cause accidents or injury.

Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite

the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire

grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

grounded.
Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool or pull the plug
from an outlet. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving
parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

When operating the tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W­A” or “W.”These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of elec-

tric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operat­ing a power tool. Do not use 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.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure 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.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool “ON”.

A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper foot­ing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situa­tions.

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 AND CARE

TOOL USE AND CARE

Use clamps or other practical ways 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.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will

do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
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.

Disconnect the power cord 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.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6

Always hold the tool by its insulated gripping surfaces when cutting in areas that
may contain hidden live wiring. If the bit makes contact with a live wire, the metal
parts of this tool may conduct enough electricity to seriously shock the user.

Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the opera­tor. Do not cut or break into existing walls or other blind areas where
electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.

Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the Rotary Tool
before switching the tool “ON”. Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity strik­ing you or a bystander.

Make sure all nuts and screws are securely tightened after changing bits.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
Do not use the Rotary Tool if it has been damaged, left outdoors in the rain, snow,

wet or damp environments, or immersed in liquid.
Check the speed rating on all accessories. Accessories must never be run at a high-

er speed than they were designed to handle.
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.
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.

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.

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 snagging the wheel as this may
lead to cracking or chipping.

Do not sand or grind near flammable materials.
Handle sharp bits with care.
Never place hands near the spinning bit.
Never start the tool while bit is engaged in the material.
Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction that the chips are thrown.
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.
Never lay the tool down until the motor has come to a complete standstill. A

running tool should not be left unattended.

8

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

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.

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.

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 shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES AND/OR SYMBOLS

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make

exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOLS

Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask
or respirator for applications which generate dust.

Secure the material being worked on. Never hold it in your hand or across your legs.
Unstable support can cause loss of control and injury.

When using the Rotary Tool, always maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands. Never put your hands or feet in the cutting area. Do not grasp the tool or
place your hands too close to the bit. Keep your hands well away from the bit. Never
reach underneath the tool while the bit is in motion. Do not use your legs or feet to
stabilize the work piece.

Always unplug the power cord before making any adjustments or attaching acces­sories.

Be careful not to accidentally trip the power switch when setting the tool down or
picking the tool up.
