Rotary Tool Stand Assembly
Your rotary tool comes with a practical work stand and clamping system which can be
mounted to any workbench or other surfaces having a maximum thickness of 2-3/8”.
The clamping system can also be permanently fixed to a workbench using screws
driven through the supplied clamp fixing holes.
Fix the clamping system (A) Fig.4 to your workbench, then screw in the stand shaft (B)
into the clamping system and secure. The height of the stand is adjustable, loosen the
top tube of the stand by turning it counterclockwise. Draw the tube out to its maximum
or desired height and secure it by turning the tube clockwise. The height of the
suspension bracket (C) is also adjustable by loosening the black knob (D). After
adjusting the suspension bracket to the desired height and direction, retighten the black
knob.
Operation
Before operating, make sure you have read all previous safety precautions before
operating your rotary tool.
The real secret to your rotary tool is its speed. A typical electric drill is a low-speed, high
torque tool. The rotary tool is the opposite, it is a high-speed, low torque tool. So please
do not apply pressure on the tool, simply hold it and guide it, the speed will do the rest.
Warning! Too high a load at a low speed can burn out the motor.
Hold the rotary tool in your hand and plug the
power cord into the wall outlet. Switch on the
rotary tool by pressing the ON/OFF switch (A)
Fig.5. Then a speed setting must be selected
using the variable speed thumb dial (B). The
accessory and job to do will determine the speed
setting to use.

Operating Speeds
Set the variable speed thumb dial to a speed to fit the job. To achieve the best results
when working with different materials, the speed of the rotary tool should be adjusted.
To select the right speed for each job, we suggest you 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.
Needs for slower speeds- certain materials (some plastics and precious metals for
example) require a relatively slow speed because at high speed the friction of the
accessory generates heat and may cause damage to the material. Slow speeds
usually are best for polishing operations using the felt polishing accessories. Important
note: All brushing applications require lower speeds to avoid wire discharge from the
holder.
Higher speeds are better for carving, cutting, routing, shaping, cutting dadoes or
rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass require high speed operation, and
drilling should also be done at high speeds.
Accessory / Material / Operating Speed
Your Rotary Tool is designed to accept standard rotary tool accessories, if you
purchase accessories other than from King Canada, always make sure that the
maximum rpm of the accessory is suitable for the maximum speed of your tool.
Grinding Stones
When using a grinding stone for the first time, use the dressing stone to balance it and
even to give it a special shape if desired. Grinding stones cover virtually every
possible kind of grinding application from deburring, sharpening, smoothing...etc.
Felt/Polishing Wheels
The felt/polishing wheels need to be screwed onto the screw mandrel. These felt/
polishing wheels must only be operated at lower speeds and are largely used to bring
metal surfaces to a smooth finish.
