OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH

The power switch is located on the underside of the handle. It has O (OFF) and I (ON) settings. 

1. To switch on the tool, flip it to I (the ON position).
2. To switch off the tool, simply flip the switch to O (the OFF position). Be certain the tool is in the OFF position 
when not in use and during all maintenance activities.

AdJUSTING THE SPEED OF THE ROTARY TOOL

The rotational speed wheel on the top of the rotary tool is used to set the desired rotation speed. The speed for your 
rotary tool ranges from 8,000 to 35,000 RPM. To increase the speed, turn the wheel forward to a higher number. 
To decrease speed, turn the wheel backwards to a lower number.

Difficult workpieces and jobs (drilling, engraving glass, cutting metal, etc.) generally are performed more efficiently 
at faster rotary speeds. Other projects, such as thermoplastics, or delicate polishing require slow rotary speeds. As a 
general rule, larger attachments should be used at a lower speed.

ASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENTS

INSTALLING SANDING DISCS AND CUTTING WHEELS

Loosen and remove the screw at the top of the screw mandrel. Remove 
one of the red rings from the screw and place the cutoff wheel or sanding 
disc onto the screw (if it is a sanding disc, ensure it will face the correct 
direction when reinstalled). Replace the red ring on the other side of the 
cutoff wheel or sanding disc, so that there is one red ring on each side of 
the wheel or disc. Reattach the screw with the wheel/disc to the mandrel. It 
is now ready to be attached to the rotary tool (follow the steps in “installing 
the rotary bits” above).

INSTALLING THE ROTARY BITS

1. Make sure that the tool is unplugged before attempting any tool adjustments. 

3. Hold down the collet lock button and rotate the collet nut until the lock engages.

4. Using the included wrench, loosen the collet nut and remove it from the tool. Release the collet lock button.

5.  The collet is located inside the collet nut. Four collet sizes are available for your rotary tool: 1/8”, 3/32”, 1/32” 
and 1/16”. Always select the suitable collet to match the spindle diameter of your desired rotary bit.

6. Insert the selected collet into the spindle hole and screw the collet nut back on, but do not tighten it all the way.

7. Fully insert the rotary bit into the center hole through the collet. Press down the collet lock button and fully tighten 
the collet nut using the included wrench. Check to ensure that the rotary bit is firmly secured inside the tool.
