the rotary tool.
 Hold the tool carrier firmly with one hand.
 With the other hand, loosen the height and rotation lock
lever.
 Move the tool carrier up, down, or around the column to
the desired position.

BEVELING THE TOOL CARRIER
See Figures 17 - 18.
 Unplug the power cord or remove the battery pack from
the rotary tool.
 Hold the tool carrier firmly with one hand.
 Loosen the bevel lock knob.
 Pull the detent bypass knob away from the tool.
 Bevel the tool carrier until the pointer aligns with the
desired angle on the bevel scale.
OPERATION
NOTE: The tool carrier bevels to the left only. There are
positive stops at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, and 90°.
 Once the tool carrier is in position, release the detent
bypass knob and tighten the bevel lock knob.
DRILLING
See Figure 19 - 20.
 If applicable, slide the table away from the base and
reinstall it with the routing side facing up.

 Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge
securely against the fence.
NOTE: Use the scales on the fence and table to help
position the workpiece.
 Using a clamping device, secure the workpiece to the
table. To protect the top surface of the workpiece, use a
piece of scrap wood between the clamping device and
the workpiece.
 Mount the rotary tool.
 Select the proper drill bit based on the hole size desired.
For large holes, drill a pilot hole first, using a smaller
diameter bit.
 Install the drilling bit into the rotary tool collet according
to the rotary tool operator's manual.
 Adjust the height and position of the tool carrier and lock
it in place. For angled operation, bevel the tool carrier.
NOTE: Reposition the workpiece if necessary.
WARNING:
Operating the tool without the bevel lock knob and/or
the height and rotation lock lever secured can result in
serious injury.
 If desired, adjust the drilling depth as described later.
 Make sure the work table is free of all loose objects and
the bit is not in contact with the workpiece.
 Plug the rotary tool in or install the battery pack.
 Before turning on the tool, perform a dry run of the
operation to make sure that no problems will occur during
use.
 Turn on the rotary tool ON.
 Select the appropriate speed for bit rotation according to
the rotary tool operator's manual. Make sure bit rotates
freely.
