TURNING THE ROTARY TOOL ON/OFF
See Figure 7, page 15.
To turn the rotary tool ON, slide the on/off switch to the ON
position. To turn it OFF, slide the on/off switch to the OFF
position.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SPEED
See Figure 7, page 15.
The rotary tool has a speed range of 5,000-35,000/min RPM.
To select the right speed for each job, use a practice piece of
material. Vary speed to find the best speed for the accessory
you are using and the job to be done.
Use the indicator mark above the speed control dial to set the
best speed for the job. The speed control dial is numbered
1 to 5. The speeds for each setting are:
Speed (
1
)........................................................5,000 RPM
Speed (
2
)......................................................12,500 RPM
Speed (
3
)......................................................20,000 RPM
Speed (
4
)......................................................27,000 RPM
Speed (
5
)......................................................35,000 RPM
Refer to the
Application Speed Recommendations
table
to determine the proper speed based on the material being
worked and the type of accessory being used.
SLOWER SPEEDS
Certain materials, some plastics for example, require a
relatively slow speed because the friction of the tool generates
heat and causes the plastic to melt at high speed.
Slow speeds (15,000 RPM or less) are usually best for
polishing operations using the polishing accessories. They
may also be best for working on delicate projects, delicate
wood carving, and fragile model parts.
Higher speeds are better for carving, cutting, and shaping
wood.
