• Secure the workpiece with clamps, etc. if there
is any possibility of it moving during the work
operations.
• The tool should not already be in contact with
the workpiece surface when you turn the tool

age to the belt of loss of control of the tool may
result.
• When working with the tool, be very careful to
avoid any contact of the tool and belt with any
