2. Screw accessory onto mandrel by twisting clockwise until secure.

Balancing Accessories

For precision work, it is important that all accessories be properly balanced. To balance an accessory, slightly loosen the collet nut and give the accessory or collet a 1/4 in. turn. Retighten collet nut and run the rotary tool. You should be able to judge by the sound and feel if the accessory is running in balance. Continue adjusting in this fashion until the best balance is achieved. Replace accessories if they become damaged or unbalanced.

Speed Control

The rotary tool has a speed range of 8,000 to 35,000 RPM. To select the right speed for each job, 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. Use the indicator mark above the speed control dial (H) to set the best speed for the job. The speed control dial (H) is numbered from 1to 6. For example, a speed setting of 1 is approximately 8,000 RPM, and a speed setting of 6 is approximately 35,000 RPM. Refer to the Speed Dial Settings table to determine the proper speed based onthe material being worked and the type of accessory being.

SPEED SETTING FOR ROTARY ACCESSORIES

RULES OF OPERATING SPEEDS

The best way to determine the correct speed for work on any material is to practice for a few minutes on a piece of scrap, even after referring to the Speed Dial Settings tables. You can quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by observing what happens when you make a pass or two at different speeds. When working with a scrap piece of plastic, start at a slow rate of speed and increase the speed until you observe whether the plastic is melting at the point of contact; reduce the speed slightly to get optimum working speed without melting the workpiece. 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 speed operation (15,000 RPM or less) is usually best for polishing operations using the felt polishing accessories, delicate wood carving and fragile model parts. All brush applications require lower speeds to avoid wire discharge from the holder. Allow the tool to do the work for you when using lower speed settings. Higher speeds are better for drilling, carving, cutting, routing, shaping, and cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass also require high speed operation.

NOTE:

1. Plastic and materials that could melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
2. Soft wood should be cut at high speed.
3. Aluminum, tin, copper, lead, and zinc alloys may be cut at any speed, depending on the type of cutting being done. Use paraffin or other suitable lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut material from adhering to the cutt.

CUTTING GUIDE

The cutting guide comes completely assembled and ready to use on a variety of materials up to 20mm thick. Always hold the tool firmly, using a slow steady pressure to guide the tool through your work. The speed of the tool will do the work.

IMPORTANT : Always cut in clockwise direction except when following a template (outlet box), then cut in counter clockwise direction.

Installation Instruction Of The Cutting Guide Attachment

Step 1 & 2. Remove the collet nut and then the housing cap from the end of your rotary tool.
Step 3. Place the collet nut loosely on the end of the rotary tool and insert the cutting bit. Tighten collet nut.
Step 4. Thread the Cutting Guide Attachment onto the exposed housing threads on the rotary tool.
Step 5. Adjust the attachment to the desired cutting depth

Shield Rotary Tool Attachment

The rotary shield attachment provides a clear and simple solution for redirecting debris and sparks away from the user without interfering with the task at hand. The tool shield can be used with right-hand or left-hand grip positions and works to deflect debris on a variety of applications, including cutting, sanding, grinding and polishing. The shield can be quickly adjusted into position, provides easy access to the accessory without interfering with the workpiece.

Installation Instruction:

Step 1. Remove the housing cap A from the end of the tool and set housing cap aside. The original housing cap must be reinstalled when this attach¬ment is not used (Fig.1).
Step 2. Screw the Shield onto the tool using the lock nut B(Fig.2).
Step 3. Position the Shield such that it will redirect debris, sparks, and dust away from the user using the positioning tabs C (Fig.3).

Using The Shield Rotary Tool Attachment

Always turn the tool off before adjusting position, changing accessory and removing attachment. Rotary Tools cut, sand, grind, and polish in many directions. To accommodate the Rotary Tool’s Maneuverability, the Shield can be quickly positioned and repositioned with a turn to the right or left . To extend the service life of the shield, it should be cleaned regularly with a soft brush or compressed air.

Flexible Driver Attachment

Safety Rules for Flexible Driver. Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp or multiple bends. Ensure that there are no sharp residual bends or kinks in the Flexible Driver before the operation. Overbending the shaft can generate excessive heat on the jacket or handpiece and may cause the Flexible Driver to disengage from the tool. The minimum recommended bend radius is 6”. Always hold the handpiece firmly in your hands during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the shaft to twist. Not for use with router bits or other large diameters (1” or larger) bits. Large diame¬ter bits can cause kickback and loss of control when used with the Flexible Driver. Do not remove the end ferrule while tool is running. The cable will become loose from the jacket and will uncontrollably whip or lash around.

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM OF FLEXIBLE DRIVER

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

1. With small milling cutters / grinding pins: Use a high speed.
2. With large milling cutters / grinding pins: Use a low speed.
3. Precision work / engraving: Hold the drive unit like a pen.
4. Rough work: Hold the drive unit like a hammer.

TIPS:

1. Exert only moderate pressure on the workpiece and allow it to be processed at uniform speed.
2. You will not finish your work sooner by exerting heavy pressure. On the contrary, heavy pressure will cause the drive unit to slow down or stop and will overload the motor.

Operating Instructions

Run-In before Operation
For optimum performance, allow your new Flexible Driver attachment to run at high speed on your rotary tool in a vertical position for 2 minutes before use (Fig. 1).

Disengagement of the Flexible Driver

The flexible shaft may become disengaged if the motor of your rotary tool is not elevated. Higher than the working end of the Flexible Driver.

Flexible Shaft Lubrication

The Flexible Driver should be lubricated after every 25-30 hours of use. To lubricate, Unscrew the Flexible Driver assembly from the motor housing. Pull the center core out of the Flexible Driver assembly. Wipe a very thin film of automotive wheel bearing grease onto the center core and reinsert it back into the shaft. To prevent damage to tool do not over grease shaft. Too much grease will cause the unit to overheat. Reattach the Flexible Driver to the rotary tool.

CLEANING

1. Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
2. We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
3. Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the device.
