Dremel 03-5415317 - Manual (Page 5)

Do not allow familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of your rotary tool to become
commonplace. Always remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to
inflict severe injury.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration
or modification is a misuse and may result in
serious personal injury.
This product is not intended for use as a
dental drill, in human or veterinary med-
ical applications. Serious injury may result.
When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels,
high speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutters, always have the work securely
clamped. Never attempt to hold the work
with one hand while using any of these
accessories. The reason is that these
wheels will grab if they become slightly cant-
ed in the groove, and can kickback causing
loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your
second hand should be used to steady and
guide the hand holding the tool. When a cut-
off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually

breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cut-
ters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may
jump from the groove and you could lose
control of the tool.
Some dust created by
power drilling and other
construction activities, contains chemi-
cals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some exam-
ples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
