Always find out the manufacturer's speed rating before using accessories other
than Foredom accessories. (Safety requirements for the use, care and protection
of abrasive wheels are contained in ANSI Standards B7.1-1978 which are
available from ANSI, 1430 Broadway, New York, New York 10018.)
•
Never wear loose clothing or jewelry that can become entangled in the tool.
Items such as ties, necklaces, scarves, etc. should not be worn when operating
a flexible shaft power tool.
•
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.
•
Always 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
tighten 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
accessory. This can result in damage to the motor or flexible shaft.
•
Never operate the motor with the outer sheath removed from the flexible shaft.
•
Always disconnect the power cord before servicing the motor or removing the
flexible shaft or sheath.
•
Never operate your power tool during a perceptible power decrease. Turn
power tool off and do not use until power is fully restored.
•
Use proper grounding procedures. This tool should be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electric shock. The tool is equipped with an approved
3-conductor cord and a 3-prong grounding type plug to fit the proper grounding
receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in the cord is the ground-
ing wire. Never connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. If
your unit is for use on less than 150 volts, it has a plug that looks like Sketch A in
diagram. An adapter, Sketches B and C, can be used for connecting plugs as
shown in Sketch A to 2-prong receptacles. The green colored rigid ear, lug, etc.,
extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a
properly grounded outlet box. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
