Safety Instructions

A Micromotor Handpiece is a high speed rotary power tool which can be

dangerous and cause serious injury if it is not used properly.

NEVER operate it

without wearing eye protection.

• ALWAYS wear proper eye and face protection.

• ONLY use accessories rated for 50,000 rpm or higher speeds when

operating this micromotor. Follow the Allowable Rotation Speed chart

on page 9 of this manual for safe operation when using accessories with

head diameters of more than 3/32″ (2mm).

• ALWAYS observe the manufacturer's maximum speed rating when using any accessory.

•

NEVER use or continue to use any accessory which appears to be damaged, loose,

vibrating, bent, or out of balance. Inspect each accessory for cracks or flaws before use.

• 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

close 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 mounted

point, buff, wheel or accessory. This can result in damage to the motor.

•

WEAR a dust protector, mask or respirator to prevent the inhalation of harmful dust or

debris from grinding, carving or other operations performed with this power tool.

• NEVER operate with a damaged power cord. If the power cord or plug to the handpiece

is damaged, repair or replace immediately.

• USE a dust collector (vacuum system) to pull sawdust, grinding dust, or other debris

away from the work area and the micromotor intake vents.

• NEVER turn on or start the Handpiece while chuck is in open (unlocked) position.

This can damage the handpiece. Make sure that a bur is installed and secured in the

collet, that the spindle is NOT locked and that the bur can spin freely. Always operate

and store it with a bur or other accessory in the chuck and with the chuck in

the closed position.

•

DO NOT operate the handpiece in the presence of any flammable liquid or gas.
