SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOLS
1. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, or
polisher. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2. Use as intended only. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
3. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
4. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their RATED SPEED can
break and fly apart.
5. The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
6. The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must
properly fit the collet of the power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
7. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire
brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
8. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or work
piece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtering out particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of work piece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
10. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. An
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
“live” and shock the operator.
11. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete
stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
12. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact
with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.
13. Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust
inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards.
14. Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite
these materials.
15. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid
coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
16. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety
information.
17. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
18. Do not depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation.
19. Do not leave the tool unattended when the Battery Pack is connected. Turn off
the tool, and remove the Battery Pack before leaving.
20. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
21. People with pacemaker should consult their physician(s) before use. Electro-
magnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker
interference or pacemaker failure.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS
1. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the
specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool
was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
2. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for periph-
eral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
3. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the
possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from
grinding wheel flanges.
4. Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for
larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
5. Dress appropriately. Do not wear pants with cuffs, shirts with open pockets, or any
clothing that can catch and hold hot metal or sparks.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary
operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.
The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
VIBRATION SAFETY
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms
and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If
you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling,
numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and
fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different
processes.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control ). Let the tool do
the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.
ASSEMBLY
Warning: Always unplug rotary tool before changing accessories, changing
collets or servicing your rotary tool.
USING TOOL
WARNING: Always hold the tool away from your face. Accessories can be
damaged during handling, and can fly apart as they come up to speed.
Collet Nut
To loosen the collet nut (D), first press shaft lock button (C) and rotate the shaft
by hand until the lock engages the shaft preventing further rotation.
CAUTION: Do not engage lock while the Rotary Tool is running.
With the shaft lock engaged, use the collet wrench to
loosen the collet nut if necessary. The collet nut must
be loosely threaded on when inserting an accessory.
Change accessories by inserting the new one into the
collet as far as possible to minimize run out and
unbalance.
With the shaft lock engaged, finger tighten the collet
nut until the accessory shank is gripped by the collet.
Using wrench, completely tighten to fully secure the accessory.
NOTE: Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut when there is no bit inserted.
Collets
Three different size collets (1/16",3/32" and 1/8" ) to
accommodate different shank sizes are available for
your Rotary Tool.
To install a different collet, unscrew to remove the collet nut(D) and
pull out the old collet. Insert the unslotted end of the
collet in the hole in the end of the tool shaft. Replace
collet nut on the shaft.
CAUTION: Always use the collet which matches the
shank size of the accessory you plan to use. Never force a
larger diameter shank into a collet.
Operating speeds:
This tool has a variable speed dial. Listed below are the
average no-load speed.
1 - 8000
2 - 12500
3 - 17000
4 - 21500
5 - 26000
6 - 30500

• Speed may vary by tool (up to 10%).
Rules About Speed:
1. Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures should be cut at low
speeds to prevent damaging the material.
2. Polishing, buffing and cleaning with any type of bristle brush must be done at
speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM to prevent damage to the brush from bristles
flying toward operator.
3. Carving, Cutting & Shaping Wood should be performed at higher speeds.
4. Increasing pressure does not equal increased performance, try using a different
accessory or increasing speed.
5. Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys and tin may be cut at various
speeds, depending on the type of cutting being done. Use paraffin or other suitable
lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
6. Iron and steel should be cut at high speed. If the tool starts to "chatter" While
cutting iron or steel, it means it is running too slow
PUTTING ACCESSORIES IN TOOL
