Using the Rotary Tool

The first step in learning to use the 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 Rotary 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 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 hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.

Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the tool rather than attempt to do all the work in one pass. To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and forth over the work, much as you would a small paint brush. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the desired depth. For most work, the gentle touch is best. With it, you have the best control, are less likely to make errors, and will get the most efficient work out of the accessory.

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

WARNING

Wear Eye Protection

!Whenever you hold the tool, be CAUTION careful not to cover the air vents

with your hand. This blocks the air flow and causes the motor to overheat.
