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. Concentrate 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 paintbrush. 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.
Operating Speeds
To select the right speed for each job, use a practice piece of material.
SLIDE "ON/OFF" SWITCH
The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch located on the top side of the motor
housing.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON", slide the switch button forward. The tool will start
working at a speed of 18,000 rpm
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF", slide the switch button backward. If for some reasons
the on/off switch doesn't work there is always the option to alternatively turn off the
tool by the following methods:
Press the minus (–) yellow speed control button to bring the speed of the tool to the
lowest speed level (8,000 RPM).
Hold the minus (–) yellow speed control button for 5 seconds.Then the tool will be
turned off.
SPEED CONTROL BUTTONS
The tool is equipped with speed control buttons. The speed may be adjusted during
operation by pressing on the plus (+) or (-) minus yellow buttons located on the top
side of the battery housing. Speed will increment or decrement from a minimum of
8,000 to a maximum of 35,000 rpm. The LED lights located alongside the yellow
buttons will illuminate according to the chosen speed. Every time when the tool is
turned off the speed setup goes back to the medium level (18,000 rpm) so it might
be necessary to increase/decrease the speed to the level that it was being
