11. General Safety Rules
WARNING: “READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES listed BELOW,
and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.
“SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS”
Work Area
• KEEP WORK AREAS CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools to rain.
Keep work area well lit.
• AVOID GASEOUS AREAS. Do not operate portable electric tools in explosive atmospheres in presence of flammable liquids or
gases. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks might ignite fumes.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area.
Personal Safety
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerator enclosures. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors, where damp or wet
ground may be encountered. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protected power line must be used for these conditions.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES or glasses with side shields. Wear hearing protection during extended
use of power tools and dust mask for dusty operations.
• STAY ALERT. USE COMMON SENSE. Watch what you are doing. Do not operate tool when you are tired or under influence of
drugs.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Don’t carry plugged in tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is OFF when plugged in.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• BEFORE CONNECTING THE TOOL to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.), be sure voltage supplied is the same as that
specified within the technical data or on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the
tool can result in serious injury to the user — as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT plug in the tool. Using a power
source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. “VOLTS AC” designated tools are for Alternating
Current 50-60 Hz only. “VOLTS DC” designated tools are for Direct Current. Do not use AC designated tools with DC power
source. Do not use electronic speed controlled tools with DC power source.
Tool Use and Care
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended, only as described in the manual..
• USE THE SPINDLE ONLY WHEN INSERTED IN THE ENGRAVING HEAD.
• SECURE WORK. Make sure the support plate is always adhesive enough holding the material, if not clean the plate with clear
water. Never use your hand holding the material in place. Use only original support plates holding the material.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil and sharp
edges. Always keep cord from spinning blade, bits or any other moving part while the tool is in use.
• INDOOR USE ONLY!
• THE USE OF ANY OTHER ACCESSORIES not specified in this manual may create a hazard and is strictly forbidden.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS. When not in use; before servicing; when changing blades, bits, cutters, etc.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, high or locked up place — out of the reach of children.
• DO NOT ALTER OR MISUSE TOOL. These tools are precision built. Any alteration or modification not specified is misuse and
may result in a dangerous condition.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tool clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for changing
accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by an authorized service facility. Inspect
extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep engraving unit dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced. Have defective switches replaced. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off.
• ALL REPAIRS, electrical or mechanical, should be attempted only by trained repairmen. Contact the nearest authorized repair
service facility. Use only original replacement parts, any other may create a hazard.
