Safety Instructions
Before using your Foredom ® power tool, please read safety instructions.
They are for your protection and should always be followed to reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the tool.
• Always wear proper eye and face protection. Safety glasses or face shields
should be worn whenever you operate a Foredom or any power tool to prevent
serious eye or face injuries.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry. Loose clothing or jewelry can
become entangled in the rotating flexible shaft. Do not wear items such as neck
ties, necklaces, or bracelets when operating power tools. Be sure to tie back or
secure long hair.
• Secure power tool to motor hanger or work surface. Flexible shaft power
tools can vibrate during operation. The tool should be properly secured in order
to prevent it from vibrating off of the motor hanger or work bench.
• Never operate any accessory at speeds above it's maximum rated speed.
When properly used, all of Foredom's accessories can be operated at the speed
ratings listed in the Foredom Accessory Catalog or on the accessory kits and
packages. Always find out the manufacturer's speed rating before using
accessories other than Foredom accessories.
