General Safety Warnings and Instructions for All Tools

• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
• CONSIDER WORK AREA ENVIRONMENT. Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use in presence of flammable liquids or gases. Motors in these tools normally spark, and the sparks may ignite the fumes.
• GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures. Use extreme caution when drilling, driving, or cutting into walls, floors, ceilings or other areas or wherever live electrical wires may be contacted, do not touch any metal parts of the tool. Hold the tools only by the plastic handle to prevent electric shock.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Do not let children and visitors contact tool or extension cord. All children and visitors should be kept away from work area.
• STORE IDLE TOOLS. When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked up place–out of reach of children.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force small tool or attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purposes not intended.
• DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Heavy duty gloves to protect hands and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
• USE SAFETY GLASSES AND OTHER SAFETY EQUIPMENT. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields, complying with applicable safety standards and, when needed, a face shield. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use a hard hat, hearing protection, gloves, safety shoes and dust collection systems when specified or required.
• DON’T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
• SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
• DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
• MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords periodically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease.
• DISCONNECT TOOLS. Unplug the tool when not in use, when moving tool from place to place, before servicing, and when changing accessories (such as blades, bits, cutters) or making adjustments.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that key and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
• AVOID UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Don’t carry tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in.
• OUTDOOR USE EXTENSION CORDS. When tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked.
• STAY ALERT. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired or otherwise impaired.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
• REPAIRS AND SERVICE. Repairs, maintenance and any adjustments not specified in this manual should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
• USE OF ACCESSORIES AND ATTACHMENTS. The use of any accessory or attachment not recommended for use with the tool could be hazardous.
  Note: Refer to the accessory section of this manual for further details.

SAFETY GUIDELINES – DEFINITIONS

It is important for you to read and understand this manual.
The information it contains relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING PROBLEMS. The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information.

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will resultin death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Safety Rules for Rotary Tools

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a” live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool” live” and shock the operator.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp bend. Over bending the shaft can generate excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece. The recommended minimum is 5″ radius.

Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching any accessories. You may unexpectedly cause the tool to start leading to serious personal injury.

Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool up. You may accidentally activate the switch.

Always hold the hand piece 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

Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.

Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always be obvious.

Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using wheel. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.

Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds greater than 15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the “cleaning” action with these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin. Bristles or wires will be discharged from the brush at high speeds.

Wear protective gloves and face shield with wire or bristle brushes. Apply wire or bristle brushes lightly to the work as only the tips of the wire/bristles do the work. “Heavy” pressure on bristles will cause the wire or bristle to become overstressed resulting in a wiping action and will cause the bristles/wire to be discharged.

Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheel to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient space, at least “6”, between your hand and the spinning bit. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to “bite” or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool.

Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the bit and be torn from  your hand. For example, if carving wood, make sure there are no nails or foreign objectsin the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects can cause the bit to jump.

Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter.

Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kick-back.

The direction of feed with the bit into the material when carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to the tool is left “ON” the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.

Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to a complete stop is it safe to put it down.

Do not grind or sand near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials.

Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.

Regularly clean the tool’s air vents by compressed air. Excessive accumulation of powdered metal inside the motor housing may cause electrical failures.

Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury.

This product is not intended for use as a dental drill, in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious personal injury may result.

When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand while using any of these accessories. The reason is that these wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback be causing loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand should be used to steady and  guide the hand holding the tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.

Use only Phalanx accessories for high performance. Other accessories are not designed for this tool and may lead to personal injury or property damage.

After changing bits or making any adjustment make sure the bit is properly secured by included wrench. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components may be ejected.

Important Electrical Information

Use only an extension cord that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A SJT type cord is required. Cord shall be 14 AWG minimum for general indoor use. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. When servicing, only use identical service parts. Contact Phalanx for a replacement cord set. For proper size cords see chart below

Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking. 120 Volts AC only means your tool will operate on standard 60 Hz household power. Do not operate AC tools on DC. Lower voltage will cause loss of power performance.

Rotary Tool Introduction

A rotary tool is a handheld power tool with a rotary tip that accepts a variety of attachments for different tasks like sanding, polishing, carving and more. Its compact size, versatility and high speed make it an appealing alternative to large, bulky power tools.

Rotary tool is high speed low torque tool. You don’t apply pressure to the tool but  simply hold it in hand and guide it to get its job done easily. The key takes away ofrotary tool is a matter of learning how to let its speed work for you.

The first step in leaning to use rotary tool is to get the “feeling” of it. Hold it in your hands and get the feel of its weight, grip, tumbling, etc.

WARNING Always wear eye protection. Always hold the tool away from your face. Accessories can be damaged during handling, and can fly apart as they come up to speed. This is not common, but it does happen.
CAUTION Whenever you hold the tool. Be careful not to cover the air ventilation openings with your hand. This blocks the air flow and causes the motor to overheat.

How to Hold the Tool in Hand
Drawing Grip: For best control in close work, grip the rotary tool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger.

Putting Grip: Holding the tool like golf putter, used for more aggressive operations such as grinding a flat surface or using cutoff wheels.

Practice on scrap materials first to see how the Rotary Tool’s high-speed action performs. Keep in mind that the work is done by the speed of the tool and by the accessory in the collet. You should not lean on or push the tool during use.

Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to the work and allow it to touch the point at which you want cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to begin. Concentrate on guiding the tool over the work using very little pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.

Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the tool rather than attempt to do all the work in one pass. To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and forth over the work, much as you would a small paint brush. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the desired depth. For most work, the gentle touch is best. With it, you have the best control, are less likely to make errors, and will get the most efficient work out of the accessory.

The hanger is provided for the use of hanging your tool while using the flex- shaft or for storage. If you do not use the hanger, snap it back into place so it will be out of the way while the tool is in use.

Turn on/off the Tool
The tool is turn on or off by press the power switch.

Operating Speeds

The speed of Rotary Tool can be adjusted by turn the dial on the housing.

Certain materials, however, (some plastics and precious metals, for example requires relatively slow speed because at high speed the friction of the accessory generates heat and may cause damage to the material.

Slow speeds (15,000 RPM or less) usually are best for polishing operations employing the felt polishing accessories. They may also be best for working on delicate projects as “eggery” work, delicate wood carving and fragile model parts. 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.

Ultimately, 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 chart. You can quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by observing what happens as you make a pass or two at different speeds. When working with plastic, for example, start at a slow rate of speed and increase the speed until you observe that the plastic is melting at the point of contact. Then reduce the speed slightly to get the optimum working speed.

Some rules of thumb in regard to speed:

1. Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
2. Polishing, buffing and cleaning with any type of bristle brush must be done at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM to prevent damage to the brush from bristles flying toward operator.
3. Wood should be cut at high speed.
4. Iron or steel should be cut at high speed. If a high-speed steel cutter starts to chatter — this normally means it is running too slow.
5. Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys and tin may be cut at various speeds, 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 cutter teeth.

Increasing the pressure on the tool is not the answer when it is not performing as you think it should. Perhaps you should be using different accessory, and perhaps an adjustment in speed would solve the problem. Leaning on the tool does not help.
Let speed do the work!

Maintenance Information and Cleaning

WARNING To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.

WARNING To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, always remove plug from the wall outlet before performing service or cleaning.

Carbon brushes
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service.

In order to prepare your brushes for use, run your tool at full speed for 5 minutes under no load. This will properly “seat” your brushes, which extends the life of both your brushes and your tool.

To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend every 40 – 50 hours the brushes be examined. Only Phalanx replacement brushes specially designed for your tool should be used.

Maintenance of Replaceable Brushes
The brushes should be inspected frequently when tools are used continuously. If your tool runs sporadically, loses power, makes unusual noises or runs at a reduced speed, check the brushes.

CAUTION Continue using the rotary tool in the condition will permanently damage your tool.

Please follow these steps to check/change the rotary tool carbon brushes:

1. Make sure cord unplugged, place the rotary tool on a clean flat surface. Use a screwdriver to remove the carbon brushes cover on housing. There are two brushes located on each side.
   

2. Pulling the spring out together with the carbon brushes. If the brushes is less than 3mm long and the end surface of the brush that contacts the commutator is rough and/or pitted, then they should be replaced. Usually, the brushes will not wear out simultaneously. If one brush is worn out, replace both brushes. Make sure the brushes are installed as illustrated. The curved surface of the brush must match the curvature of the commutator. Also check that the brush covers sit flush with the tool housing.

3. After replacing brushes, the tool should be run at no-load; place it on a clean surface and run it freely at full speed for 5 minutes before loading (or using) the tool. This helps brushes “seat” properly and will give you more hours of life from each set of brushes. This will also extend the total life cycle of your rotary tool since the commutator surface will “wear” longer.

Cleaning
Keep the intake openings on the housing clean and free of obstructions. Us a soft, dry brush to clean the openings periodically. Use only a damp cloth to clean the heat gun. Many household cleaners contain chemicals which could seriously damage the housing. Do not use gasoline, turpentine, lacquer or paint thinner, dry-cleaning fluids or similar products when cleaning the heat gun. Never allow any liquid to get inside the tool or immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

Phalanx Attachments

WARNING Use only Phalanx accessories for best performance. Other accessories are not designed for this tool and may lead to personal injury or property damage.

Collets: As band, accepting shank of accessories and tightened so as to grip it. So that the spindle rotation can pass to biters. There are 5 diameter collets supplied. There are 3/32” (Assembled), 3/25”, 1/16”, 3/32”, 1/8”.

WARNING We provide two mandrels, in which the connecting screws are of different sizes, so please pay attention to the correct size adaptation during installation. Incorrect adaptation may cause danger.

Mandrels: A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw head which are required when you use polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding discs, and polishing points. The reason mandrels are used is that sanding discs, cutting wheels and similar accessories must be replaced frequently. The mandrel is a permanent shank, allowing you to replace only the worn head, when necessary, thus saving the expense of replacing the shaft each time.

Screw Mandrel: This is a mandrel with a small screw at its tip, and is used with emery and fiberglass cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels. 1/8″ shank.

Safe-tape screw Mandrel: This is a screw mandrel used with the felt polishing tip and felt polishing wheels. 1/8″ shank.

Engraving Cutters: This group has a wide variety of sizes and shapes, and are made for intricate work on ceramics, wood carvings, jewelry and scrimshaw. They often are used in making complicated printed circuit boards. They should not be used on steel and other very hard materials but are excellent on wood, plastic and soft metals. 3/32″ shank.

Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutters: Fast cutting, needle-sharp teeth for greater material removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass, wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber. 1/8″ shank.

Wire Brushes: For best results wire brushes should be used at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM. There wires are stainless steel, brass and carbon wire which perform well on pewter, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, without leaving “after-rust”.
Bristle Brushes: These are excellent cleaning tools on silverware, jewelry and  antiques. The three shapes make it possible to get into tight corners and other difficult places. Bristle brushes can be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or polishing.

Tips for Bristle brushes:

1. Remember, the tips of a bristle brushes do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the bristle will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as much of the brush face as possible is in full contact with the work. Applying the side or edge of the brush to the work will result in wire breakage and shortened brush life.

Polishing: Cloth polishing wheel, all used for polishing plastics, metals, jewelry and small parts. For best results polishing accessories should be used at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM.

Drum Sander: A tiny drum which fits into the Rotary Tool and makes it possible to shape wood, smooth fiberglass, sand inside curves and other difficult places,  and .other sanding jobs. You replace the sanding bands on the drum as they become worn and lose their grit. Bands come in fine medium and coarse grades.
