CONTA-CLIP EMS-Engraver - Manual (Page 17)

11.1 Tool Safety Instructions
• Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always be obvious.
• Never start the tool while engaged, by any reason, in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss
of control of the tool.
• Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching any
accessories. You may unexpectedly cause the tool to start leading to serious personal injury.
• Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is safe to change bits.
• Do not touch the bit or spindle after use. After use the bit and spindle are too hot to be touched by bare hands.
•
Do not use the tool for any other purpose than described in the manual!
• If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and
unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to the tool is left “ON” the tool could restart
unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.
• Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your rotary tool to become common place. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
• Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury,
Conta-Clip and the tool manfacturer shall under no circumstances be liable for damage or any personal injury caused
by misuse or not following the instructions.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, engraving and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or 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.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
Extension Cords
• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss
of power or overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of
tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
RECOMMENDED SIZES OF EXTENSION CORDS
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
