4. Do not remove the collet nut from the threaded motor shaft, only loosen the collet nut enough to remove or
add an accessory.
5. Insert the accessory to the shank through the collet nut as far as it will go, this will help to minimize accessory
bit running out of balance.
6. With the shaft lock engaged, hand tighten the collet nut by rotating it in a clockwise direction until the shank is
held securely in the collet. Do not over tighten or use any tools to tighten.
WARNING:
WARNING:
collet nut when no bit is inserted.
BALANCING
for best results, be sure to balance each accessory in the collet. The high RPM of the tool makes an imbalanced
accessory very detectable as a wobble will occur while the tool is running.
To balance an accessory:
1. Stop the tool.
2. Loosen the collet nut.
3. Rotate the accessory 1/4 turn.
4. Tighten the collet.
5. Run the tool.
Continue adjusting as needed. You will hear and feel when the accessory is properly balanced.
OPERATING SPEEDS
Your rotary tool has an operating speed range of 8,000- 18,000 rpm. The numbers appearing on the speed
dial provide the tool operator a rough idea of how fast the bit is rotating. The tool's speed is infinitely adjustable
throughout the entire travel of the speed dial. The following chart will provide a good guideline for the rotating
tool speed for various dial settings:

Switch Setting
unlike tools designed for a specific purpose, the rotary tool may perform a wide variety of operations in various
types of materials. Practice and experience using the rotary tool on different projects with different bits is the
best teacher of which speed is more ideal for use on a specific material than other speed settings. Here are
some very basic guidelines:
use slower speeds on plastics, precious metals, or anything else that may easily damage due to heat generated
by the tool's bit. Consider slower speeds when performing finely detailed work on sensitive or thin material like
eggshell or fine wood carving.
Wire and bristle brushes should not be used at speeds in excess of 15,000 RPM. Higher speeds will not increase
their efficiency, but cause the wires to dislodge from the wheel possibly causing personal injury.
Higher speeds can best be used for cutting, routing, carving, and cutting other shapes in wood. Drilling should
be done at high speed as should most work on hardwoods, glass, and many metals. Start at slower, more
comfortable speeds and work your way up to the ideal speed for the bit, the material, and the style of work
being performed.
