Advice on working with
materials / Tools / Speed ranges
Use the highest speed when working on steel
or iron with the milling bits
20
.
Use a short trial on a test piece to determine the
optimum rotational speed range for working on
zinc, zinc alloy, aluminium, copper and lead.
Use the low speed range for working on plastics
and low-melting point materials.
Use high speeds on wood.
Use the medium speed range for cleaning,
polishing and buffing.
The following information shall be considered as
recommendatory only. Learn by practical experience
which tools and settings are the best for the materi-
als you work with.

Tips and tricks
If you use press too hard you run the risk of break-
ing the tool or damaging the workpiece. You will
achieve the best results by operating the tool at a
constant rotational speed and using a low contact
pressure on the workpiece.
Maintenance and cleaning
The device is maintenance-free.
Clean all the dirt off the drill / grinder. Use a
dry cloth for cleaning.
