At this point the tool speed will be set at 5,000 rpm.
To turn on the frontal LED light again simply turn
off and then on again the tool.
To turn the tool "OFF" press and release the on/
off button E.
If for some reasons the on/off switch doesn't work,
turn off the tool by the following methods:
–
press the minus (–) blue button F to bring the
speed of the tool to the lowest speed level
(5,000 RPM)
–
hold the minus (–) blue button F for 5 seconds
ELECTRONIC MONITORING
Your tool is equipped with an internal electronic
monitoring system that provides a "soft start",
which will reduce the stresses that occur from
a high torque start. The system also helps
to maximize motor and battery performance
by cutting the voltage to the tool when stall
conditions (see section "Stall Protection") occur.
The motor and battery pack are protected by
cutting back the voltage to the motor in these
situations.
OPERATING SPEEDS
The speed may be adjusted during operation by
pressing on the plus (+) or (-) minus blue buttons F.
Speed will increment or decrement by 5,000 rpm
from a minimum of 5,000 to a maximum of
28,000 rpm.
The LED lights I will illuminate according to the
chosen speed.
Every time the tool is turned off the speed set
goes back to the medium level (15,000 rpm).
To select the right speed for each job, use a
practice piece of material.
Refer to the chart on pages 6-7 to help determine
the proper speed for the material being worked on
and the accessory to use.
Do not exceed 15,000 rpm when using wire
brushes.
Most jobs can be accomplished using the tool at
the highest setting. However, certain materials
(some plastics and metals) can be damaged by
high-speed generated heat and should be worked
on at relatively low speeds. Low speed operation
(15,000 rpm or less) is usually best for polishing
operations employing the felt polishing accessories.
All brushing applications require lower speeds
to avoid wire discharge from the holder. Let the
performance of the tool do the work for you when
using lower speed settings. Higher speeds are
better for hardwoods, metals and glass and for
drilling, carving, cutting, routing and shaping.
Some guidelines regarding tool speed:
•
Plastic and other materials that melt at low
temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
•
Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wire
brush must be done at speeds no greater
than 15,000 rpm to prevent damage to the
brush and your material.
•
Wood should be cut at high speed.
•
Iron or steel should be cut at high speed.
•
If a high speed steel cutter starts to vibrate, it
usually indicates that it is running too slowly.
•
Aluminium, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc
alloys and tin may be cut at various speeds,
depending on the type of cutting being done.
Use a paraffin (not water) or other suitable
A a
lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut
material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
NOTE: Increasing pressure on the tool is not the
answer when it is not performing properly. Try a
different accessory or speed setting to achieve
the desired result.
STALL PROTECTION
This tool has a stall protection feature built into
it to protect the motor and battery in the event
of a stall. If you put too much pressure on the
tool for too long, or bind the bit in a work piece,
especially at high speeds, the motor will stop.
Simply take the tool out of the material you
were stalled in, and the tool will begin to spin
again at the selected speed. If the tool continues
to stall for longer than 5 seconds, the tool will
automatically shut itself off. This additional feature
further protects the motor and the battery from
damage. When the battery becomes close to
empty, the tool may shut down automatically more
frequent than normal. If this happens, it is time to
recharge the battery.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
!
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
PERFORMED BY UNAUTHORIZED
PERSONNEL MAY RESULT IN INCORRECT
CONNECTION OF INTERNAL WIRING AND
COMPONENTS WHICH COULD CAUSE
SERIOUS HAZARD.
The tool can be cleaned most effectively with
compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles
when cleaning tools with compressed air.
TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, ALWAYS
!
DISCONNECT THE TOOL AND/OR
CHARGER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
BEFORE CLEANING
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be
kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
attempt to clean the tool by inserting pointed
objects through an opening.
CERTAIN CLEANING AGENTS AND
!
SOLVENTS DAMAGE PLASTIC PARTS.
Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and
household detergents that contain ammonia.
