•
Never operate any accessory at speeds above it’s maximum rated speed. All of Foredom's
accessories, when properly used, can be operated at the speed ratings listed in the Foredom
Accessory Catalog or on the accessory kits and packages. Always find out the manufactur-
er's speed rating before using other accessories.
•
Never use or continue to use any accessory which appears to be damaged, loose, vibrat
ing, or out of balance. Inspect each accessory for cracks or flaws before using it. Avoid
knots, imperfections in the wood or metal objects like nails, which could damage or catch
the accessory. Let the speed of the tool do the work rather than apply heavy pressure to
the accessory.
•
Always insert the shank or shaft 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 pressure which may tend to bend or break the shank or shaft 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
plug to fit the proper grounding receptacle. The green (or green and yellow) conductor in
the cord is the grounding wire. Never connect the green wire to a live terminal. It has a plug
that looks like sketch A in the diagram below. An adapter, sketches B and C, can be used for
connecting plugs as shown below 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 prop-
erly grounded outlet box. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding type
plugs and3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
