6. CONTROLS

7. OPERATING THE ROTARY TOOL

The speed of the tool can be regulated to suit a variety of applications 

and materials.

Low speed use:

 Best for polishing applications and delicate projects 

such as fragile model parts. It is recommended that the various shape 

grinding stones be used at low speed to prevent them from becoming 

too hot and deteriorating.

High speed use:

 Best for carving and shaping materials. Metal and 

glass projects require high speed drilling.

1   Rotate the variable speed dial 

to select the desired speed.

Note: 

The higher the number on 

the variable speed dial, the faster 

the speed of the rotary tool.

Variable Speed Dial

1   Ensure the workpiece is 

securely clamped down and 

then turn the rotary tool on.

2   Select the appropriate speed 

for the application.

3   For high precision 

applications such as 

engraving or milling, hold 

the rotary tool like a pen.

5   Gently apply the tip of the 

accessory to the work piece.

4   For heavy work like 

cutting or grinding, 

hold the rotary tool 

in the palm of your 

hand.

WARNING!

 

PLACING EXCESSIVE LOAD ON THE ROTARY 

TOOL WHILE IT IS RUNNING AT LOW SPEEDS MAY 

CAUSE IT TO OVERHEAT AND THE MOTOR TO FAIL.
