Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged
at high velocity during the "cleaning" action with these
brushes and may become embedded in your skin. Bristles
or wires will be discharged from the brush at high speeds.
Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding
wheels to avoid chipping or tracking. Install a new wheel if
tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that
may be damaged.
Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation will
fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or
bystanders.
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.
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. Allow for sufficient space
between your hand and the spinning bit.
Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a
tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to
"bite" or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece
allows you to use both hands to control the tool.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting
irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not
slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your hand.
For example, if carving wood, make sure there are no nails
or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects
can cause the bit to jump.
Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material.
The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the cutter.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when
working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of
control and kick-back.
The direction of feed with the bit into the material when
carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed
the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting
edge is exiting from the material (which is the same
direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction, causes the cutting
edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in
the direction of this feed.
If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down,
turn the tool off by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed
material.
If the switch of the tool is left on, the tool could restart
unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.
Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off.
Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is safe to put it
down.
Do not grind or sand near flammable materials.
Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use.
After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by
bare hands.

Regularly clean the tool's air vents by compressed air.
Excessive accumulation of powdered metal inside the
motor housing may cause electrical failures.
Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your
rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember
that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
Do not alter or misuse tool.
Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in
serious personal injury.
This product is not intended for use as a dental drill or in
medical applications.
Serious personal injury may result.
When using steel saws, cutoff wheels, high speed cutters
or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely
clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand
while using any of these accessories.
The reason is that these wheels will grab if they become
slightly canted in the groove, and can kick-back causing
loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand
should be used to steady and guide the hand holding the
tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten
carbide cutters grab, it may jump from the groove and you
could lose control of the tool.
