Safety Rules for Rotary Tools - (cont.)
spinning wire brush away from you.
Wear protective gloves and face shield
with wire or bristle brushes. Apply wire or
bristle brushes lightly to the work as only
the tips of the wire/bristles do the work.
Carefully handle both the tool and
individual grinding wheels to avoid
chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if
tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use
a wheel that may be damaged.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits
must be handled with care.
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, at least 6 , between your
hand and the spinning bit.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting.
When cutting irregularly
workpieces, plan your work so it will not
slip and pinch the bit and be torn from
your hand.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,
especially when working corners, sharp
edges etc.
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).
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.
Do not leave a running tool unattended,
turn power off.
Do not grind or sand near flammable
materials.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents by
compressed air.
Do not allow familiarity gained from
frequent use of your rotary tool to become
commonplace.
