Additional Warnings (cont’d)
Accessories (cont’d)
Never apply excessive pressure when using brush accessories. let the
bristle tips do the work. Excessive pressure may damage the piece
being worked on and could cause bristles to fly loose, possibly causing
injury.
Handle all accessories with care to avoid chipping, cracking, or bending
them. Damaged accessories can come apart at speed and scatter
debris at high speed, possibly causing serious injury. Sharp accessories
can cause cuts or other injury.
Always install a new accessory if you drop the tool. Never use a
damaged accessory.
Fragments from burst accessories will fly at high speed and with great
force and could cause serious injury. Always position yourself and work
in a direction that minimizes the chances of debris flying at you.
\Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care.
Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push
the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.
Round material such as dowels and pipes might roll while being cut,
possibly causing the accessory or bit to jump towards you. Always
clamp work pieces whenever you cannot guarantee their stability.
Beware of nails, screws, foreign objects, or unusual surface features
that could cause the accessory to catch, bind, slip, or break.
Always start the tool and bring the accessory up to full operating speed
before bringing the accessory in contact with the work piece. Starting the
tool with the accessory contacting the work piece can cause the tool to
jump out of control.
Feed the accessory into the work piece in the same direction as the
cutting/working edge is exiting the material (the same direction chips
and other debris are being thrown). Feeding the accessory in the wrong
direction could cause the working edge to climb out of the work piece,
possibly causing loss of control and serious injury.
Shut the tool off immediately if any accessory becomes jammed or
otherwise stuck in the work piece. Wait for all moving parts to stop, then
unplug the tool before resolving the problem. Leaving the tool plugged in
could lead to accidental starting and possibly serious injury.
