Operating Instructions for Rotary Tool

and Flex-Shaft Attachment

The following operation applies to the Rotary Tool and Flex-Shaft attachment,

except the pictures depict the Rotary Tool.

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 33.000 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 Tool is a matter of learning how to let this speed work for you.
