On / Off Switch
Warning!
Before connecting a tool to a power supply be sure that the voltage
supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power
supply with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug
in the tool. Using a power supply with a voltage less than the nameplate rating
is harmful to the motor
•
To switch on, set the variable speed dial (6) to 1 and push the on/off switch (8)
to “I”.
•
To switch off, reset the variable speed dial (6) to 1 and push the on/off switch (8)
to position “0”.
Varying the speed
The speed of the tool can be regulated by adjusting the variable speed dial (6), for
the lowest speed adjust the dial to the number 1, for full speed adjust the dial to MAX.
Low Speed Use: Certain materials (some plastics) require a relatively low speed
because at high speed the friction of the tool generates heat and causes the plastic
to melt. Slow speeds are usually best for polishing applications and delicate
projects such as fragile model parts. It is recommended that the various shape
grinding stones be used at a low speed to prevent them from becoming too hot
and deteriorating.
High Speed Use: Higher speeds are better for carving and shaping materials. Metal
and glass projects require high speed drilling should also be done at high speed.
Caution:
Placing excessive load on the rotary tool while it is running at low speeds
may cause it to overheat and the motor to fail.
Note:
Do not put the machine down while the motor is still running. Do not place
the machine on a dusty surface as dust particles may enter the machine.
Holding the tool
•
Small milling cutters/grinders pencils - high speed
For jobs such as milling or engraving where precision is required, hold the
mini-drill like a pen.
•
Large milling cutters/grinders pencils - low speed
For heavier work like cutting or grinding hold the machine in the palm of your hand.
Changing accessories
1. Make sure that the machine is switched off and the plug removed from the
power before you commence changing any accessories.
2. Press and hold down the spindle lock button (4) and unscrew the collet nut (2).
3. Loosen and collet nut (2) fully using the 2 in 1 Wrench provided.
4. Select a suitable Collet for the accessory to be used and insert it in the collet
nut shaft.
5. Insert the selected accessory into the collet.
6. Tighten collet nut (2) fully using the 2 in 1 Wrench provided. (always ensure bits
are tight before commencing any work with your tool).
