TYPES OF ACCESSORIES
Your rotary tool may be used with the following accessories:
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: Wire brushes are useful for
cleaning and polishing metal, while
bristle brushes are suitable for clean-
ing 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.
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.
Drill bits: High-speed steel drill bits 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 appropri-
ate drill bit.
Cutting wheels: To prepare a cutting
wheel for use, remove the screw in the
center of the shank, mount the wheel,
and replace the screw.
