Safety instructions for all operations

Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving or abrasive cutting-off operations:
a ) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and  /or serious injury.
NOTE List only those operations that are applicable.
NOTE List only those operations that were not included in the first warning.
If all listed operations are applicable, then this warning is omitted, but all subsequent warnings are given without exclusion.
b ) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
c ) The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
d ) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately controlled.
e ) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
f ) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and / or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
g ) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no- load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
h ) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated  by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
i ) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j ) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
k ) Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
I ) 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.
Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
m ) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
n ) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
o ) After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
p ) 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.
q ) 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.
r ) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
s ) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Further safety instructions for all operations Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, sanding band, 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 direction 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 surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. 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.

a ) 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.
b ) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
c ) Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
d ) 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.
e ) 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.

Additional safety instructions for grinding and cutting-off operations Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations:
a ) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. 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.
b ) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c ) Do not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
d ) Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
e ) When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or snagging.
f ) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g ) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback, Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
h ) Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Additional safety instructions for wire brushing operations Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations:
a ) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and / or skin.
b ) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using them. 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.
c ) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.

Rules of Operating Speeds

The best way to determine the correct speed for work on any material is to practice for a few minutes on a piece of scrap, even after referring to the Speed Dial Settings tables. You can quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by observing what happens when you make a pass or two at different speeds.
When working with a scrap piece of plastic, start at a slow rate of speed and increase the speed until you observe whether the plastic is melting at the point of contact; reduce the speed slightly to get optimum working speed without melting the workpiece.
Certain materials, some plastics for example, require a relatively slow speed because at high speed the friction of the tool generates heat and causes the plastic to melt.
Slow speed operation (15,000 RPM or less) is usually best for polishing operations using the felt polishing accessories, delicate wood carving and fragile model parts. All brush applications require lower speeds to avoid wire discharge from the holder. Allow the tool to do the work for you when using lower speed settings.
Higher speeds are better for drilling, carving, cutting, routing, shaping, and cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass also require high speed operation.

NOTE :

• Plastic and materials that could melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
• Softwood should be cut at high speed.
• Aluminum, tin, copper, lead, and zinc alloys may be cut at any speed, depending on the type of cutting being done. Use paraffin or other suitable lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut material from adhering to the cutter teeth.

Shield Rotary Tool Attachment

To accommodate the Rotary Tool’s Maneuverability, the Shield can be quickly positioned and repositioned with a turn to the right or left .To extend the life of the Shield periodically clean with a soft bristle brush or compressed air.

Flexible Driver Attachment

Safety Rules for Flexible Driver

Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp or multiple bends. Ensure that there are no sharp residual bends or kinks in the Flexible Driver before the operation.
Over bending the shaft can generate excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece and may cause the Flexible Driver to disengage from the tool. The minimum recommended bend radius is 6″.
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.
Not for use with router bits or other large diameters (1″ or larger) bits. Large diameter bits can cause kickback and loss of control when used with the Flexible Driver.
Do not remove end ferrule while tool is running. The cable will become loose from the jacket and will uncontrollably whip or lash around.

Installation Instructions

It is extremely important to carefully read and follow the directions below to assemble the Flexible Driver to your rotary to ensure the tool will function properly.

1. Remove the shaft collar.

2. Loosen the collet nut.

3. Raise the handle end of the flexible shaft & shake gently until the inner flexible shaft protrudes from the fitting collar.
   

4. Insert the inner flexible shaft into the collet then tighten the collet nut.
   The metal ring on the inner core must be flush against the collet before tightening. Otherwise the extra length of the inner core will generate excessive friction and heat.
   

5. Screw the flexible shaft fitting collar onto the rotary tool.

6. Insert the hex key into the hole on the handle.

7. Loosen collet nut then insert shank of accessory into collet.

8. Tighten collet nut and check all fittings to ensure they are securely fastened.

Operating Instructions
