If you must use an extension cord, be sure that the gauge is large enough to carry
the amount of current necessary for your power tool. If not, your tool may
experience a loss of power, excessive voltage drop or overheating. The smaller the
gauge number, the heavier the cord (see table below).

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Always UNPLUG the Rotary Tool from the power source

lubrication is required.
Use only mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the tool. Never let any liquid get inside
the casing. Never immerse any part of the tool in a liquid. Always keep the ventila-
tion openings clear.
Brushes will wear with use and should be inspected periodically by qualified
personnel.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using only a soft brush or dry cloth.
Never open the Rotary Tool case. Do not attempt to repair the Rotary Tool yourself.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Always attach grounded (3-prong) extension cords to grounded (3-hole) outlets.
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop-
erly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
