User manual DREMEL 398 HIGH SPEED ROTARY TOOL

[. . . ] Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. [. . . ] 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 power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock. Take protective measures when during work dust can develop that is harmful to one's health, combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable. Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece. Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel. Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback. According the European Guideline 2002/96/EC for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally correct manner. Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 5 Amps. The Dremel multitool is a high quality precision tool that can be used to perform detailed and intricate tasks. The wide range of Dremel accessories and attachments allow you to perform a large variety of tasks. [. . . ] Try a different accessory or speed setting to achieve the desired result. This tool has a stall protection feature to protect the motor and battery in the event of a stall. If you stall the tool for too long, or bind the bit in a work piece, especially at high speeds, it will automatically turn itself off. Simply take the tool out of the material, turn it off for 3 seconds, then turn it on again to continue using it. [. . . ]
