Safety Instructions For All Operations - Dremel STYLO+ 2050 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

g. use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in ac-
cordance 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.
a. 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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
ALL OPERATIONS
SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING,
SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING, POLISHING, CARVING OR
ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS
a. this power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or cut-off tool.
read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
b. Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it
does not assure safe operation.
c. the rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at
least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Grinding accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
d. the outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your power
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
controlled.
e. the arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other
accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the
power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
f. Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or
other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet
or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the
overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may
become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
g. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips
and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. if power tool
or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. after inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from
the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power
tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
h. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on appli-
cation, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
as appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must
be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various

SERVICE
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
anyone entering the work area must wear personal pro-
tective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
j. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting acces-
sory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.
k. always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates
to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
l. use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical.
never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool
in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece
allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency
to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump
toward you.
m. position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you
lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand
or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
n. never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab
the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
o. after changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment
devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices
can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating
components will be violently thrown.
p. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag
your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
q. regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan
will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumu-
lation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
r. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
s. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using
water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or
shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating
wheel, sanding band, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which
in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory's rotation.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the
workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch
point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel
to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or
away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
