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 ju
mp.
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 to 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 is it 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.

medical applications.
Serious personal injury may result.
When using the 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 i
f they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback be 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 cutter grab, it may jump from the
groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Use clamps to support work piece 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.

material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and
