ry may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjust-
ment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjust-
ment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of
control, loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Use only in well-ventilated area. Working in a safe
environment reduces risk of injury.
Allow for sufficient space, at least 6", between your
hand and the spinning bit. Do not reach in the area of
the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to
your hand may not always be obvious.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit
and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modifica-
tion is a misuse and may result in serious personal
injury.
This product is not intended for use as a dental drill,
in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious
injury may result.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes
the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direc-
tion opposite of the accessory's rotation.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the sur-
face of the material causing the wheel to climb out or
kickout. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the
wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the acces-
sory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a ten-
dency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss
of control or kickback.
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades cre-
ate frequent kickback and loss of control.
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.
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed
cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the
work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if
they become slightly canted in the groove, and can
kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself
usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter
or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from
the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and
abrasive cutting-off operations:
Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and only for recommended applica-
tions. For example: do not grind with the side of a
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
