OPERATION
CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
A battery pack that has been unused for a while or a pack that has never been charged before must be charged
completely before using. The battery pack requires roughly 3 to 5 complete charging and draining cycles before it
can reach its full potential.
CAUTION: Always unplug the charger from the wall before inserting or removing the battery from the charger.
INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK
Make sure that the rotary tool is in the OFF position before plugging in the battery pack. Pressing the tabs (#3) on
either side of the battery pack will allow it to disengage and be removed from the rotary tool’s body. Make sure
the rotary tool is in the OFF position before unplugging the battery pack.
READING THE STATUS OF THE BATTERY PACK
The status or residual power is indicated as follows by the battery shaped readout (#2) found on the back of the
rotary tool.
RED/ORANGE/GREEN = maximum charge
RED/ORANGE = medium-level charge
RED = weak charge
INSERTING OR REPLACING A TOOL OR COLLET
1. Press the spindle lock button (#8) and hold it down.
2. Rotate the clamping nut (#6) until the lock engages.
3. Loosen the clamping nut (#6) using the bit-changing spanner wrench (#23) and remove it from the tool. Once it
has been removed, you may release the spindle lock.
4. Insert the tool of your choice through the center of the clamping nut (#6) before inserting it into the collet that
matches the bit’s diameter.
5. Press the spindle lock again. Insert the collet into the end of the rotary tool. Hold it in place by tightening the
clamping nut using the bit-changing spanner wrench.
NOTE: Use the screwdriver end of the bit-changing spanner wrench to adjust the mandrels (#13).
ADJUST THE SPEED OF THE ROT ARY TOOL
Numbers on the rotational speed wheel (#1)are used to indicate the direction in which one should spin the adjust-
ment wheel to achieve the desired RPM. To increase speed, turn the wheel right, in the direction of the MAX
sign. To decrease speed, spin the wheel left toward the 1 sign.
Difficult workpieces and jobs (drilling, engraving glass, cutting metal, etc.) generally are performed more efficiently
at higher RPMS. Other projects, such as thermoplastics, or delicate polishing require slow rotary speeds. As a
general rule, larger attachments should be used at a lower speed. DO NOT use attachments larger than 1”, as they
may fly apart, causing injury.
SUGGESTED SPEED MATERIALS
1 to 3 Plastics and Low-Melting Point Materials
4 to 5 Stone and ceramics
5 Softwood and metals
6 to 7 Hardwood
