General Safety Rules:
Work Area:
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
Do not expose to rain or operate in a damp location.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the Handi-Butler tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Specific Personal Safety Rules:
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the Handi-
Butler tool. Do not use while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating may result in serious personal injury.
Use Safety Equipment. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when using the Handi-
Butler tool. Wear a dust mask for dusty operations.
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch on the Sentria system and the air vents
on the Handi-Butler tool are in the off position before plugging in. Plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents. Do not leave tool in a dangerous position.
When turning on the cleaner, make sure it is unobstructed.
After changing tools or making adjustments, make sure the tip of the Flexible Shaft
or Rotator Shaft and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Remove
adjustment wrenches before using. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating part
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the Handi-Butler tool in unexpected situations.
Keep hair, clothing, fingers and all parts of body away from openings and moving
parts. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Restrain long hair.
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to hold work whenever practical. It's safer than
using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool. Allow at least 6 inches
between your hand and the spinning tool.
