Use and Care Manual

-8-
sanding, brushing, polishing or grinding
applications, other applications may present
hazards that cannot be adequately guarded.
Never start the power tool when the bit is
engaged in the material. The bit cutting
e
dge may grab the material causing loss of
c
ontrol of the workpiece.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning
bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your
hand may not always be obvious. Workpiece
could shift or your hand could slip during
operation.
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.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. Contact with a spinning bit will
cause injury and after use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
Do not leave a running power tool
unattended, turn power off. Only when
power tool comes to a complete stop it is safe
to remove workpiece and clean the stand.
Before operation, clamp workpiece or
brace against base column. Never hold a
small workpiece in one hand and bring the
drill down. Clamping the workpiece allows
you to use both hands to control the
workstation. Securing workpiece will prevent
it from spinning or climbing during drilling
operation.
Use a “V” block for supporting round
stock such as tubes or rods when drilling.
Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or
tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut,
and may cause the bit to "bite" or the
workpiece to jump toward you.
You must set and lock drill press assembly
in the desired position and depth of cut
when performing operations other than
drilling. Bring the workpiece to the power
tool and allow for sufficient space between
your hand and the spinning bit. Contact
with the spinning bit will cause injury.
If the side of any rotating accessory is used to
perform the work, for example a sanding
drum, the workpiece must be positioned on
the side of the accessory that rotates against
the feed direction of the workpiece. Placing
the workpiece on the side of the accessory
where the feed direction and accessory
rotation are same may cause the workpiece to
be pulled by the rotating accessory and lead
to loss of control during operation.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
a
ccessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain workstation. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may
affect the workstation’s operation. If
damaged, have the workstation repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained workstation.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Use only grinding wheels, sanding
disks/drums and drill bits when using the
power tool in the workstation. Any other
accessory will cause injury to the user.
THINK SAFETY! Safety is a combination of
operator COMMON SENSE and
ALERTNESS at all times when the tool is
being used.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects and other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
