I_,.WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction
activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some exampIes of these chemicals are:
•
lead from Iead-based paints,
• crystalIine silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber. (CCA)
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a weII ventilated
area, and work with
approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size
extension cords with the tool - that is, proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy
enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
For proper size cords see chart
below.

SPINDLE LOCK LEVER
TURN OFF AND UNPLUG TOOL FROM POWER SUPPLY.
Fig.1 shows the ON/OFF switch and the spindle lock lever. To Iock the spindIe for changing
accessories, pull back on the spindle lock lever as shown in Figure 2. With the lever in the full
back position the spindle will lock. Install or remove the accessories
as directed
in this
manual. Release the spindle lock lever and you're finished.
ON/OFF SWITCH
To turn the tool ON, slide the switch button forward. The tool wilI immediately run at the speed
which is selected. Do not attempt to start tool with spindte lock engaged. It wilt not run.
SPEED SELECTION
To operate the tool, select the speed setting you wish with the speed wheel, shown in Fig 3,
and slide the ON/OFF switch forward. The speed setting can be adjusted either with the tool
on or off.
,_£AUTION:
Because the RTX has a separate speed 'wheel for setting the speed (8,000 -
30,000 RPM), the tool will start at the speed where the speed wheel is set. Be sure switch is
fully OFF before plugging in.
The numbered positions,1 through 6 inscribed on the switch speed wheel, do not indicate
any precise speed but are good reference points. The higher the number, the higher the tool
speed.
The approximate speed at each setting is:

Be sure to select the proper speed for your rotary toot operation.
The following

CHANGING ACCESSORIES
Accessories are held in place by a collet and colIet nut as shown in Figure 4.
To insert an accessory:
1. Turn off tool, allow it to come to a complete stop and disconnect from the power supply.
2. Pull back on the spindle lock lever (see Fig. 2) and grasp the collet nut.
3. Turn the coIlet nut counter-clockwise
as shown in Fig. 5 until it is loose.
4. insert the new accessory into the coIlet as far as it will go.
5. Tighten (clockwise) the collet nut securely. NOTE: The collet was designed to be hand
tightened and Ioosened onIy. Accessories
naturally self tighten during use. A wrench is
provided with the tool for loosening. You should never need to tighten the collet nut with
the wrench. If a wrench is needed, use only the wrench provided. Do not use tools that
will mar the finish and could break the coIIet. Always ensure there is some accessory in
the collet before tightening. Tightening an empty collet can crack it.
6. Release the spindle lock lever and you're finished.
7. If an accessory causes vibration it can usually be improved by loosening the coHet nut,
pushing the accessory in as far as it will go and rotating it 1/4 turn then retightening the
collet.
CHANGING THE COLLET
Some accessories
require different sized collets. The two coliets used with Black & Decker
accessories
are 1/8" (used for most accessories)
and 3/32". Ensure your cotlet size
matches your accessory.
To change the collet:
1. Turn off tool, allow it to come to a compIete stop and disconnect from power supply.
2. Pull back on the spindle lock lever (see Fig. 2) and grasp the collet nut.
3. Turn the collet nut counter-clockwise
and remove the collet nut and the collet from the
threaded spindle (see Fig. 4).
4. insert the new collet into the spindle.
5. Screw on the colIet nut.
6. Release the spindle lock.
USING THE ROTARY TOOL
/_\WARNING:
AIways wear eye protection.
When operating the tool be sure to hold it securely. For detail work, grip the contoured area
at the front of the tool, near the spindle. Before beginning a project, practice using the tooi
on some scrap material until you get the "feeF of the tool. The rotary tool is small and easy to
use but don't be fooled; it's a real power tooI and shouid be bandied carefuIly and properly
as described in this manual. Don't overload the tool. Performance is enhanced by letting the
tool do the work.

7. The FLEXIBLE SHAFTis now ready for use. To insert an accessory, Turn off toot, allow it to
come to a complete stop and disconnect from power supply. Place the provided lock pin
into the opening in the FLEXIBLESHAFThand piece and rotate colIet nut until Iockpin
engages
hole in spindle (Fig. 8). With the shaft locked, turn the collet nut counter-clock-
wise to loosen. Insert the accessory completely into the coHet to avoid wobbling. Tighten
collet nut securely by hand. Remove lock pin.
8. The Flexible Shaft collet can be changed as described in the "Changing the Collet" sec-
tion.
IMPORTANT:
Avoid using the Flexible Shaft with a sharp bend as shown in Fig. 9. A radius
of 6" or larger is recommended. A tool hanger (Fig. 4) is provided to hang the tool when using
the flex shaft. The hanger secures the tool and helps avoid sharp bends on the flex shaft.
NOTE: The rotating center core can come out of the FLEXIBLE SHAFT.This is not a problem.
Simply reinsert it into the FLEXIBLE SHAFT.If the center core gets dirty, wipe it off and apply a
very light film of high temperature
