Your tool is equipped with a high performance
rotary tool motor. This motor expands the
versatility of the rotary tool by driving additional
attachments.
You can refer to the charts on page 22, 23,
24 and 25 to determine the proper speed,
based on the materi al being worked and the
type of accessory being used. These charts
enable you to select both the correct acces -
sory and the optimum speed at a glance.

For best control in close work, grip the Rotary
Tool like a pencil between your thumb and
forefinger (Figure A).
The “Golf Grip” method of holding the tool can
be used for more aggressive operations such
as grinding a flat surface or using cutoff
wheels (Figure B).
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. Con centrate 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 effi cient work out of the accessory.
