Accessories
Your rotary tool kit includes the following accessories:
Sanding bands: Your kit includes both a 1/2” x 1/
2” and 1/2” x 1/4” sanding shank, which holds
sanding bands. These small drum sanders help
you shape and smooth surfaces in tight places.
Replace bands when they become worn. Bands
come in fine grades for finish and delicate work
and coarse grades for heavier work. Sanding
bands work best at lower speeds. Experiment with scrap material before
working on an actual project. To use a sanding band, loosen the screw
in the shank, slip the band onto the shank, then tighten the screw to
secure the band.
Brushes: Your kit includes several
wire and bristle brushes. Wire
brushes are useful for cleaning and
polishing metal, while bristle brushes
are suitable for cleaning softer
surfaces.
As with all rotary tool
accessories, you should let the
speed do the work without applying
excessive force. Use the bristle tips
only without mashing the brush
against the work piece as shown in
the top part of the illustration on the
right.
Drill bits: Your kit includes high-speed steel drill
bits. These are suitable for most drilling
applications in wood, plastic, and thin metal. For ceramics, drywall, or
other specialized applications, you will need to purchase an appropriate
drill bit.
WARNING! NEVER RUN BRUSHES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 15,000 RPM.
THE BRUSH COULD EJECT BRISTLES AT HIGH SPEED WHICH COULD
BECOME EMBEDDED IN YOUR SKIN OR WHICH COULD CAUSE
OTHER SERIOUS INJURY.
