Operation
Note: Always disconnect the tool from the power adapter while loading, unloading, or adjust-
ing accessories.
1. Choose the appropriate Collet (3) for the shank of the accessory you are using.
2. Just above the collet shaft on the end of the tool, there is a shaft lock button. Depress that
button to lock the shaft so that you can open the Collet (3).
3. Remove the Collet Nut (13) on the tip of the tool and add the appropriate Collet (3). Put
the bit or accessory you want in the Collet (3). Continue to depress the shaft lock button
while tightening the Collet Nut (13).
4. Make certain that the power switch is in the off (O) position. Plug the Adapter (2) into a
properly grounded, 120 VAC outlet. Connect the plug from the Rotary Tool (1) to the
connector on the end of the adapter’s cord.
5. Hold the tool firmly in one hand. Turn the toggle switch on ( I ) and wait until the tool
reaches full speed before contacting the workpiece.
6. When finished, turn off (O) the toggle switch and unplug the unit.
Operational Tips.
1. When you turn on the tool, hold it a safe distance in a direction away from your face.
2. Practice on scrap material while getting use to the feel of the tool.
3. Never lean on the tool. Allow the speed of the tool to do the work for you. Lightly contact
the material. It is better to make several passes on a workpiece than to try to remove a lot
of material in one pass. A gentle touch works best. If you feel the job is not getting done,
change to a more powerful cutter.
4. Plastics and similar materials will melt when contacted with high speed accessories. Start
very slowly and monitor the material carefully.
Accessory Tips. (Some of the many uses.)
1. Mandrels are the shanks with a threaded or screw head. They are required when you
use the cutoff wheels, polishing wheels, and sanding discs. The mandrel without the nut
on the end is for the felt polishing wheels. For cutoff wheels and sanding discs, remove
the nut on the end of the mandrel, add the wheel or disc, and replace the nut.
2. Cutters are used for cutting, carving and slotting materials.
3. Grinding Stones are used for sharpening cutting tools, screwdrivers etc. They can also
be used to deburr any metal after the cutting process. Also, they can be used to remove
excess glaze on ceramics.
4. Cutting Wheels are used for slicing or cutting off bolt heads, nuts, etc.
5. Wire Brushes clean silverware, jewelry, and antiques.
6. Sanding accessories can be used on a variety of workpieces, ranging from models to fine
furniture.
7. Polishing accessories bring metal surfaces to a smooth finish.
