WORK AREA
Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.
Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in
your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s
view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.
Be alert of your surroundings. Using power tools in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING: Always check to ensure the power supply corresponds to the voltage on
the rating plate.
Do not abuse the cord. Never carry a portable tool by its power cord, or yank tool or extension
cords from the receptacle. Keep power and extension cords away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may cause a fire and
increase the risk of electric shock.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
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 doesn’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do
not change the plug in any way.
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.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W.”
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Extension Cord Use:
A. Use only ‘Listed’ extension cords. If used outdoors, they must be marked “For Outdoor
Use.” Those cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and mating receptacles are to be
used with grounded tools.
B. Replace damaged or worn cords immediately.
C. Check the name plate rating of your tool. Use of improper size or gauge of extension cord
may cause unsafe or inefficient operation of your tool. Be sure your extension cord is rated
to allow sufficient current flow to the motor. For the proper wire gauge for your tool, see
chart.

(NOT RECOMMENDED)
If in doubt, use larger cord.
Be sure to check voltage requirements of the tool to your incoming power source.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not let your fingers touch the terminals of plug when installing to or removing from the
outlet.
Ground fault circuit interrupters. If work area is not equipped with a permanently installed
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter outlet (GFCI), use a plug-in GFCI between power tool or
extension cord and power receptacle.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
which comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask
in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety
shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power
failure, while a tool is being used, turn the switch off to prevent surprise starting when power is
restored.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the
tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
ROTARY TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the tool. Tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which they
are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
Do not modify the Rotary Tool in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the function
and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications for which
Rotary Tool was designed.
Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.
Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the Rotary Tool. Broken parts
will affect the Rotary Tool operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
Disconnect power from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before servicing,
adjusting, installing accessories or attachments, or storing. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Secure work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This safety
precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
