OPERATION

WARNING Disconnect the 'power plug
from the AC power source before any
assembly,' adjustments, or adding/
removing accessories. Following this
preventative step reduces the risk of the
saw coming on accidentally and the risk
of damage to the workpiece and injury
to the operator. Never hold the tool near
your face. Accessories like wire brushes
or grinding wheels may come apart
during use.
CAUTION Be careful not to cover the air
vents with your hand. This will cause the
motor to overheat.
This rotary tool is a multipurpose power
tool. It is a drill, polisher, power brush,
OPERATING SPEEDS
Note Speed is affected by voltage changes. If
the incoming voltage is reduced, it will
slow the RPM of the tool, especially at
the lowest setting. If the tool appears to
be running slowly, increase the setting
accordingly.
The operating speed will vary depending on the
material and type of accessory you are using.
To find the right speed for your job, use a test
piece of the material. Try various speeds until
you find the one that is best for your project.
If you are doing delicate woodcarving, polishing,
buffing or any use which requires a wire brush,
slow speeds of 15,000 RPM or less are best.
Any material, like plastic, that melts at low
6
ventilation openings clear.
Brushes will wear with use and should
be inspected periodically by qualified
personnel.
Regularly clean the ventilation slots in
your tool using only a soft brush or dry
cloth.
Never open the Rotary Tool case. Do not
attempt to repair the Rotary Tool yourself.
Opening the case will void your warranty.
grinder, cutter, and sander all in one. This
high-speed, low torque tool is easy to
handle and accepts a wide range of acces-
sories from polishers to router bits to wire
brushes and grinding wheels. The high
speed allows it to do jobs that low speed
tools can't handle like engraving glass or
cutting hardened steel.
NOTICE Never push on the tool. The
high speed and the accessory, not the
pressure on the tool, do the work.
TIP: Practice by making passes on a scrap
piece of material. This tool works best
if you do the work in small increments,
moving back and forth until you reach
the desired result.
temperatures should also be cut at low speeds.
If you are carving, routing, shaping or cutting
glass, metal or hardwoods, higher speeds are
necessary. Drilling should also be done at high
speed.
Softer metals, like aluminium, copper alloys,
and tin may be cut at various speeds,
depending on the type of cutting being done. A
lubricant like wax should be used on the cutter
to keep the cut material from adhering to the
cutter teeth.
If the tool is not performing the way you think
it should, perhaps you are using the wrong
accessory. Putting pressure on the tool will not
help the performance.
