• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the same rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of electrical shock or injury.

• Do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves
and jackets buttoned. Clothing can be caught in

brushes. Prevents damage to the cord which can
result in electrical shock and serious injury.
• Set up machine on the Model 1206 Stand or a flat,
level bench. Failure to place machine on a stable
stand or bench may result in tipping and serious injury.
• Keep fingers and hands away from the reamer
and wire brushes. Reduces the risk of entanglement
or being cut.
• Properly support long lengths of tubing with pipe
supports. Prevents injury from falling tubing and
equipment tip-over.
• Do not reach inside the tubing. Keep hands away
from ends of the tubing. Prevents being cut on burrs
or sharp edges.
• Do not cut visibly bent tubing or tubing with fit-
tings attached. Prevents excessive vibration and los-
ing control of the tubing.
• Do not use with motor cover removed. Exposure to
electrical components can result in electrical shock and
serious injury.
