WARNING:
Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut. Do not over tighten
the 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 unbalanced
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 2 operating speeds of 10,000 / 15,000 rpm. The speed can be adjusted with the on/off
switch.
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.
GUIDE FOR ROTARY TOOL BITS
NOTE:
This Rotary Tool Kit does not include all of the accessories described.
Sanding Bands:
Sanding Bands of different grits and sizes are used to sand curves in wood or plastic. Use a larger sanding
band for curves with a larger arc. finer grits give a smoother finish; coarser grits offer more aggressive
sanding. Choose a sanding mandrel that matches the band you want to use. Loosen the screw in the top of
the sanding mandrel. Slide the band over the mandrel, and tighten the screw to expand the rubber drum and
secure the band.
Wire Brushes:
Wire Brushes and Cup Wheels are for smoothing, de-burring, and cleaning metal surfaces. Use to remove paint,
rust, corrosion, and weld slag.
Brushes should be run at operating speed for at least one minute before using. This allows loose wires and
bristles to be discharged prior to work application. Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds
greater than 15,000 rpm. Bristles or wires can be thrown from the brush at higher speeds. Wear protective
gloves and face shield when using wire brushes.
The Silver/Grey brushes are carbon steel general-purpose brushes. The Gold/Yellow Brushes are Brass Brushes,
which will work better on softer metals like Copper, brass, or precious metals.
Bristle Brushes
:
Bristle Brushes are for cleaning and de-burring softer, delicate, or antique metals (such as Gold and Silver) and
various non-metallic surfaces such as graphite and rubber. Use with polishing compound for faster results.
