Operation (cont’d)
Using the Tool
Before running your rotary tool, spend
some time getting the feel of its weight and
balance. The housing is tapered, allowing
you to grasp the tool much like a pen or
pencil for fine work. be sure to practice on
scrap materials until you are comfortable
using the tool and are ready to work on
actual materials.
To use the tool:
1 Insert the correct accessory and tighten
the collet nut securely.
2 Be sure to wear eye protection and any
respiratory protection that may be
required.
3 Mount or grasp the work piece
securely, being sure to follow every
precaution listed on pages 6-11 of this
manual.
4 Grasp the tool using either of the
gripping methods shown here. The
pencil grip (top) is best for fine work
requiring precise control. The golf grip
(bottom) is best for rougher work to
maintain more control of the tool.
5 Start the tool. If using the variable-
speed tool, select the appropriate
speed for the work you are performing.
If using the single-speed tool, it will rotate at approximately 16,000RPM.
6 Balance the accessory as described on the previous page.
