Safety Instructions
Before using your Foredom ® power tool, please read safety instructions. They are for
your protection and should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury or damage
to the tool.
• Always wear proper eye and face protection. Safety glasses or face shields should be
worn whenever you operate a Foredom or any power tool to prevent serious eye or
face injuries.
• Always use a proper dust collection system or wear a respirator to prevent
the inhalation of dust particles, polishing compounds, or other debris into the lungs.
• Do not wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry. Loose clothing or jewelry can become
entangled in the rotating flexible shaft. Do not wear items such as neckties, necklaces, or
bracelets when operating power tools. Be sure to tie back or secure long hair.
• Secure power tool to motor hanger or work surface. Flexible shaft power tools can
vibrate during operation. The tool should be properly secured in order to prevent it from vibrat-
ing off of the motor hanger or work bench.
• Never operate any accessory at speeds above it’s maximum rated speed. When properly
used, all of Foredom's accessories can be operated at the speed ratings listed in the Foredom
Accessory Catalog or on the accessory kits and packages. Always find out the manufacturer's
speed rating before using accessories other than those from Foredom. (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.)
