Safety Rules for Flex Shaft Rotary Tools
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
WARNING
!
instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious personal injury.
Accessories must be rated for at least
the speed recommended on the tool
warning label.
Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed can
fly apart and cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden
wiring or its own cord. Contact with a
"live" wire will make exposed metal parts
of the tool "live" and shock the operator. If
cutting into existing walls or other blind
areas where electrical wiring may exist is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or
circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
Do not operate the flexible shaft with a
sharp bend. Over bending the shaft can
generate excessive heat on the jacket or
hand piece. The recommended minimum
is 6" radius.
Always disconnect the power cord from
the power source before making any
adjustments
or
attaching
accessories. You may unexpectedly
cause the tool to start leading to serious
personal injury.
Be aware of the switch location, when
placing the tool down or when picking
the tool up. You may accidentally activate
the switch.
Always hold the hand piece firmly in
your hands during the start-up. The
reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the
shaft to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and
working in safe environment reduces risk
of injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut
and any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened. Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing
loss of control, loose rotating components
will be violently thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning
bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to
your hand may not always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating
speed for at least one minute before
using wheel. During this time no one is
to stand in front or in line with the
brush. Loose bristles or wires will be
discharged during the run-in time.
Wire and bristle brushes must never be
operated at speeds greater than
15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the
spinning wire brush away from you.
Small particles and tiny wire fragments
may be discharged at high velocity during
any
the "cleaning" action with these brushes
and may become imbedded in your skin.
Bristles or wires will be discharged from
the brush at high speeds.
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. Fragments from a wheel that
bursts during operation will fly away at
great velocity possibly striking you or
bystanders.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care.
Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull
bits require more force to push the tool,
possibly causing the bit to break.
