sing the Rotary Tool
The first step in learning to use the Rotary Tool is to
get the “feel” of it. Hold it in your hand and feel its
weight and balance. Feel the taper of the housing.
This taper permits the Rotary Tool to be grasped
much like a pen or pencil. The F013039519. Variable
Speed tool has a unique comfort grip on the nose and
back seating, which allows the user added comfort
and control during use. You can feel the difference!
Always hold the tool away from your face.
Accessories can be damaged during handling, and
can fly apart as they come up to speed. This is not
common, but it does happen.
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the
Rotary Tool's high speed action performs. Keep in
mind that the work is done by the speed of the tool
and by the accessory in the collet. You should not
lean on or push the tool during use.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to the
work and allow it to touch the point at which you want
cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to begin. Con-
centrate on guiding the tool over the work using very
little pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to
do the work.
Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the
tool rather than attempt to do all the work in one
pass. To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back
and forth over the work, much as you would a small
paint brush. Cut a little material on each pass until
you reach the desired depth. For most work, the
gentle touch is best. With it, you have the best
control, are less likely to make errors, and will get the
most efficient work out of the accessory.
For best control in close work, grip the Rotary Tool
like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger.
The “Golf Grip” method of holding the tool is used
for more aggressive operations such as grinding a
flat surface or using cutoff wheels.
