GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING

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.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

WORK AREA SAFETY

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Use this product only with batteries and chargers listed in tool/appliance/battery pack/charger correlation supplement 987000-432.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.

ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

SAFETY WARNINGS COMMON FOR GRINDING, SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING, POLISHING, CARVING OR ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

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.
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.
The rated speed of accessories must be at least equal to the operating speed setting marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
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.
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create 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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS:

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.
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.
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.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

USING MANDRELS See Figures 6 – 7, pages 12 – 13.

The most common types of mandrel to use with this tool include the standard mandrel which is used with cut-off discs, grinding wheels, emery wheels, and cut-off wheels. Screw mandrels are used with polishing wheels and polishing drums. Drum mandrels are used with sanding drums.
To install:

Remove the battery pack.
Install the mandrel.
If using the standard mandrel
Press and hold the spindle lock.
Insert the slot end of the provided wrench into the slot on top of the mandrel and unscrew.
Remove mandrel screw and washer.
Place desired accessory over mandrel shaft and align accessory hole with mandrel hole.
Insert mandrel screw with washer through the accessory and mandrel shaft holes.
NOTE: The mandrel washer should be placed between the mandrel screw and the accessory.
Tighten using provided wrench.
If using the screw mandrel
Align desired accessory hole with mandrel screw head.
Screw accessory onto mandrel by twisting clockwise until secure.
If using the drum mandrel
Align appropriate sized sanding drum over mandrel and push down to completely cover drum end of mandrel. NOTE: If necessary, tighten the screw on the drum mandrel head to expand the drum and securely hold the sanding drum in place.

BALANCING ACCESSORIES

For precision work, it is important that all accessories be properly balanced. To balance an accessory, slightly loosen the collet nut and give the accessory or collet a 1/4 in. turn. You should be able to tell by the sound and feel if the accessory is running in balance. Continue adjusting in this fashion until the best balance is achieved. Replace accessories if they become damaged or unbalanced.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SPEED See Figure 8, page 13.

The rotary tool has a speed range of 5,000-34,000 RPM. To select the right speed for each job, use a practice piece of material. Vary speed to find the best speed for the accessory you are using and the job to be done.
Use the speed control dial to set the best speed for the job. When the dial is set to the maximum setting, approximately 34,000 RPM is achieved.
Refer to the Speed Dial Settings table to determine the proper speed based on the material being worked and the type of accessory being used.

SLOWER SPEEDS

Certain materials, some plastics for example, require a relatively slow speed because the friction of the tool generates heat and causes the plastic to melt at high speed.
Slow speeds (15,000 RPM or less) are usually best for polishing operations using the polishing accessories. They may also be best for working on delicate projects, delicate wood carving, and fragile model parts.
Higher speeds are better for carving, cutting, and shaping wood.
Hardwoods, metals, and glass require high speed operation. Drilling should also be done at high speeds.
To determine the optimum operational speed for different materials and accessories, refer to the Speed Dial Settings table. Look this table over and become familiar with it.
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 table. 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.

NOTE

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

OPERATING THE ROTARY TOOL See Figure 9, page 13

Learning to use the rotary tool

Hold the pen in your hand and get used to its weight, balance, and the taper of the housing. This taper permits the pen to be grasped like a pencil.
Examine the rotary tool accessories carefully. Damaged accessories can fly apart as they come up to speed and should not be used. The use of damaged accessories can result in serious personal injury.
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the tool operates. Keep in mind that the work is done at the speed of the tool and by the accessory in the collet. You should not lean on or push the tool into the work.
It is best to make a series of passes with the tool rather than attempt to do all the work in one pass. To make a cut, pass the tool back and forth over the work like you would a small paint brush. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the desired depth. For most work, a gentle touch is best; you will have greater control, make fewer errors, and get the most efficient work out of the accessory.
For the best control in close work, grip the tool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger.
A “hand grip” method of holding the tool is used for operations such as grinding a flat surface or using cut-off discs.
To operate the rotary tool:
Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench to prevent it from moving under the tool.
Hold the tool in front and away from you, keeping the tool accessory clear of the workpiece.
Turn on the tool and let the motor and accessory build up to full speed.
Lower the tool gradually until the accessory contacts the workpiece.
Move the tool continuously at a steady, consistent pace.
Use just enough pressure to keep the tool from chattering or bouncing.

SPEED DIAL SETTINGS

NOTE: Heavy pressure will decrease the tool’s speed and put a strain on the motor. The weight of the tool alone is adequate for most jobs.

Lift the tool away from the workpiece before turning off the tool.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the bat-tery pack from the product when cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which could result in serious personal injury.
