Introduction
Your Cordless Rotary Tool has a small,
powerful elec tric motor, is comfort able
in the hand, and is made to accept a
large variety of accessories including
abrasive wheels, drill bits, wire brushes,
polishers, engraving cutters, and cutting
wheels. Accessories come in a variety of
shapes and permit you to do a num ber
of different jobs. As you be come familiar
with the range of accessories and their
uses, you will learn just how versatile
your Cordless Rotary Tool is. You’ll see
dozens of uses you hadn’t thought of
before now.
The real secret of the Cordless 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 typical
electric drill is a low-speed, high torque
tool; the Cordless 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 acces sory 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 pres sure 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 your Cordless
Rotary Tool differ ent from other power
tools. The speed enables it to do jobs
low speed tools cannot do, such as en -
graving glass, etc.
Getting the most out of your Cordless
Rotary Tool is a matter of learning how
to let this speed work for you.
Using the Cordless Rotary
Tool
The first step in learning to use the
Cordless Rotary Tool is to get the “feel”
of it. Hold it in your hand and feel its
weight and balance. Feel the taper of
the housing. This taper permits the tool
to be grasped much like a pen or pencil.
When you turn on
the tool for the
first time, hold it
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.
Practice on scrap materials first to see
how the Cordless Rotary Tool cuts. 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 into the work.
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
WARNING
Wear Eye Protection
For best control in close work, grip the
Rotary Tool like a pencil between your
thumb and forefinger.
The “handgrip” method of holding the
tool is used for operations such as
grinding a flat surface or using cutoff
wheels.
