Safety Instructions

• ALWAYS wear proper eye and face protection.

Safety glasses have been provided with your new Micro Motor. For your

own protection, they should be worn (or a face shield) whenever you

operate a Foredom

or any power tool to prevent serious eye or

face injuries.

• ONLY use accessories rated for 45,000 rpm or higher speeds when

operating this micro motor.

• ALWA YS find out the manufacturer's speed rating before using any

accessory.

• NEVER use or continue to use any accessory which appears to be

damaged, loose, vibrating or out of balance. Inspect each accessory for

cracks or flaws before using it.

• ALWA YS insert the shank or arbor of an accessory or mandrel into the

collet or chuck of the handpiece as far as possible in order to provide

proper support and close the collet or chuck securely.

• NEVER use excessive side pressures which may tend to bend or

break the shank or arbor of an accessory. Let the speed of the accessory

do the work.

• DO NOT stall the motor by jamming or using excessive pressure on the

mounted point, buff, wheel or accessory. This can result in damage

to the motor.

• WEAR a dust protector to prevent you from inhaling harmful dust or debris

from grinding, carving or other operations performed with this power tool.

A Micro Motor Handpiece is a high speed rotary power tool which

can be dangerous and cause serious injury if it is not used properly.
