Operating Instructions and Parts Manual 24664

ROTARY TOOL

POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.

2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. DO NOT use any adapter plugs
with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.

2. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

3. DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.

5. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. DO NOT use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.

2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

3. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.

4. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.

5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power
tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.

7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

1. DO NOT force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

2. DO NOT use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.

4. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
DO NOT allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. 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.

ROTARY TOOL

6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking 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.

8. Hold power tools 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.

SERVICE

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.

WARNING:

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories or
storing the tool.

• To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to

the Rotary Tool, use proper circuit protection.

• DO NOT abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry

the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately.

WARNING: Carefully read Rules for Safe Operation

and Instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed
in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. The operator must understand
that common sense and caution are factors which cannot
be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1. Hold the tool by its 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.

2. 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.

3. Never hold the workpiece in one hand and the tool in
the other hand when in use. Never place your hands
near or below the cutting surface. Clamping the
material and guiding the tool with both hands is much
safer.

4. Never lay the workpiece on hard surfaces like concrete,
stone, etc. The protruding cutting bit may cause tool to
jump.

5. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask. Use only
in well-ventilated areas. Using personal safety devices
and working in a safe environment reduces risk of
injury.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Never touch the bit during or immediately after use.
After use, the bit is too hot to be touched by bare
hands.
