tool at maximum no-load speed
for one minute. Damaged accessor-
ies will normally break apart during this
test time.
• Wear personal protective
equipment. Depending on ap-
plication, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various ap-
plications. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by the particular applica-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intens-
ity noise may cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe dis-
tance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away
and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
• Hold the power tool by insu-
lated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may con-
tact hidden wiring. Cutting ac-
cessories contacting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
• Always hold the tool firmly in
your hand(s) during the start-
up. The reaction torque of the mo-
tor, as it accelerates to full speed, can
cause the tool to twist.
• Use clamps to support work-
piece whenever practical. Nev-
er hold a small workpiece in
one hand and the tool in the
other hand while in use. Clamp-
ing a small workpiece allows you to
use your hand(s) to control the tool.
Round material such as dowel rods,
pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll
while being cut, and may cause the bit
to bind or jump toward you.
• Position the cord clear of the
spinning accessory. If you lose
control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may
be pulled into the spinning accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down
until the accessory has come to
a complete stop. The spinning ac-
cessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
• After changing the bits or mak-
ing any adjustments, make sure
the collet nut, chuck or any oth-
er adjustment devices are se-
curely tightened. Loose fasteners
can adjust unexpectedly and cause
loss of control; unattached rotating
components will be thrown out viol-
ently.
• Do not run the power tool while
carrying it at your side. Accident-
al contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
• Regularly clean the power
tool's air vents. The motor's fan will
draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause electrical hazards.
• Do not operate the power tool
near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
• Do not use accessories that re-
quire liquid coolants. Using wa-
