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.
s
Always wear proper eye and face protection.
Wear safety glasses or face shields when-
ever you operate a Foredom or any power
tool to pre vent serious eye or face injuries.
s
Secure the workpiece or item that you are
working on
in a vise or other work holding
device. Holding it with your hand can result
in serious hand injury.
s
Always use a proper dust collection system or
wear a respirator
to pre vent the inhalation of
dust particles, polishing compounds, or
other debris into the lungs.
s
Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry.
Loose clothing or jewelry can become
entangled in the rotating accessory. Do not
wear items such as neckties, necklaces, or
bracelets when operating power tools. Be
sure to
tie back or secure long hair.
s
Secure power tool to motor hanger or work
surface.
Flexible shaft power tools can
“jump” at start up or vibrate during opera-
tion. The tool should be properly secured in
order to prevent it from vibrating off of the
motor hanger, work bench or wall.
s For added safety and comfort while using
this power tool for carving or other applica-
tions, it is recommended that you wear a
heavy canvas or leather apron. It will protect
you from debris and chips as well as help
prevent injury if the handpiece slips off the
workpiece. It will also help prevent loose
clothing from getting caught in a rotating
cutter, bur or other accessory.
