OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The Rotary Tool is a handful of high-speed

power. It serves as a carver, grinder,
polisher,

Sander, cutter,

power brush,

drill

and more.

The Rotary Tool has a small, powerful

electric motor, is comfortable in the hand,
and is made to accept a large variety of
accessories including abrasive wheels, drill
bits, wire brushes, polishers, engraving
cutters, router bits, and cutting wheels.
Accessories come in a variety of shapes and

permit you to do a number of different jobs.

As you become familiar with the range of
accessories and their uses, you will learn just

how versatile the Rotary Tool is. You'll see
dozens of uses you hadn’t thought of before.

The real secret of the Rotary Tool is its

speed. To understand the advantages of its
high speed, you have to know that the
standard portable electric drill runs at
speeds up to 2,800 revolutions per minute.
The Rotary Tool operates at speeds up to .

35,000 revolutions per minute. The typical
electric drill is a low-speed, high torque tool;
the Rotary Tool is just the opposite - a high­
speed, low torque tool. The chief difference
to the user is that in the high speed tools,
the speed combined with the accessory

mounted in the collet does the work. You
don’t apply pressure to the tool, but simply
hold and guide it. In the low speed tools, you
not only guide the tool, but also apply
pressure to it, as you do, for example, when
drilling a hole.

It is this high speed, along with its compact
size and wide variety of special accessories,
that makes the Rotary Tool different from
other power tools. The speed enables it to
do jobs low speed tools cannot do, such as
cutting hardened steel, engraving glass, etc.

Getting the most out of your Rotary Tooi is a
matter of learning how to let this speed work
for you.
