Do not use dust extraction for operations
that include burning, smoking or
smoldering items like hot ashes or sparks.
Fire inside the vacuum tank or bag may occur.
Dust may smolder and set vacuum on fire
long after work is completed.
Do not use dust extraction with explosive
dusts, varnish, polyurethane coatings,
cleaners, or oil-based paints.
GFCI and personal protection devices like
electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC
power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC
rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard
to the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil
and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely
control the power tool.
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 leaves it unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule
for your tool. When cleaning a tool be
careful not to disassemble any portion of
the tool since internal wires may be
misplaced or pinched or safety guard return
springs may be improperly mounted.
Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may
damage plastic parts.

be serviced by a Dremel Service Facility.
