Craftsman 572.61095 - Manual (Page 4)

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
“ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch Is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing the
tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally. Store idle tools out of reach
of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to
control. Any alteration or modification is a
misuse and may result in a dangerous
condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop
a periodic maintenance schedule for your
tool.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced
or pinched, safety guard return springs may
be improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only Identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to
follow Maintenance Instructions may create
a risk of electric shock or injury. Certain
cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOLS
Accessories must be rated for at ieast
the speed recommended on the tool
warning labei. Wheels and other
accessories running over rated speed can
fly apart and cause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a “live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live”
and shock the operator. If cutting into
existing wails or other blind areas where
electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable,
disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers
feeding this worksite.
The following warning is intended for flex
shaft tools and accessories: Do not
operate the flexible shaft with a sharp
bend. Over bending the shaft can generate
excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece.
The recommended minimum is 6" radius.
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. Be aware of the switch location, when
placing the tool down or when picking
the tool up. You may accidentally activate
the switch.

The following warning is intended for flex
shaft tools and accessories: Always hold
the hand piece firmly in your hands
during the start-up. The reaction torque of
the motor, as it accelerates to full speed,
can cause the shaft to twist.
Always hold the tool with two hands
during start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor can cause the tool to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working
in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut
and any other adjustment devices are
securely tightened. Loose adjustment
device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will
be violently thrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning
bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your
hand may not always be obvious.
