jSet the On / Off switch 1 to position “0”.

QAdvice on working with materials / Tools / Speed ranges

jUse the highest speed when working on steel or iron with the milling bits 20 .

jUse a short trial on a test piece to determine the optimum rotational speed range for working on zinc, zinc alloy, aluminium, copper and lead.

jUse the low speed range for working on plastics and low-melting point materials.

jUse high speeds on wood.

jUse the medium speed range for cleaning, polishing and buffing.

The following information shall be considered as recommendatory only. Learn by practical experience which tools and settings are the best for the materi- als you work with.

QTips and tricks

If you use press too hard you run the risk of break- ing the tool or damaging the workpiece. You will achieve the best results by operating the tool at a constant rotational speed and using a low contact pressure on the workpiece.
