SELECTING PROPER SPEEDS
Different speeds are required depending upon the type of operation being performed. The following chart
outlines those basic speeds:
Operation
Speed
Cutting Metal
5 to MAX
Sanding Wood
5 to MAX
Cutting Hard Metal
5 to MAX
Engraving Metal
4 to 5
De-Burring
4 to 5
Drilling Holes
4 to 5
Removing Rust
3 to 4
Sharpening
3 to 4
Polishing
1 to 2
HIGH SPEED USE
Higher speeds are better for carving, routing, shaping or cutting wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass
require high-speed operation. Drilling should also be performed at high-speeds.
NOTE: Incoming voltage greatly affects the speed of the tool. Speed will drop in relation to a decrease
in voltage. If your tool appears to be running slowly, simply increase the speed setting accordingly.
LOW SPEED USE
Certain materials (some plastics, for example) require a relatively slow 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 operations with felt polishing accessories. They may also be best for working on such delicate
projects as delicate woodcarving and fragile model parts.
BEFORE USE
Verify the following every time the rotary tool is used:
1. Safety glasses, safety goggles, or face shield are being worn.
2. The accessory is in good condition and not damaged in any way.
3. The work piece is properly secured.
Failure to observe these safety rules will significantly increase the risk of injury or damage to property.
