Using the Plunge Cutting Accessory, See Figures 15

USING THE PLUNGE CUTTING ACCESSORY

The plunge cutting accessory attaches to the end of the rotary tool. Depth of cut can be adjusted in 1/8 in. increments up to 1 in.

Hold the cup-shaped accessory piece with the cup side facing down.

Insert the cylinder-shaped accessory piece up through the cup-shaped piece. The legs of the cylinder-shaped piece should be facing down.

Align the groove in the cylinder-shaped piece with the screw in the cup-shaped piece.

Tighten the screw to secure the cylinder-shaped piece in place.

Unplug the rotary tool.

Install desired drill bit into rotary tool.

Loosen collet sleeve by turning counterclockwise and remove.

Insert rotary tool into cylinder-shaped piece of the accessory.

Turn accessory clockwise until it is securely screwed onto the rotary tool.

Loosen the plunge cutting accessory screw until the cup-shaped piece can be easily moved.

Align cup-shaped piece with the desired measurement depth on the accessory scale.

Tighten screw until the accessory is secured.

Connect rotary tool to power supply.

Hold the tool in front and away from you, keeping the tool bit clear of the workpiece.

Turn on the tool and let the motor and bit build up to full speed.

Lower the tool gradually until the bit contacts the workpiece.

Move the tool continuously at a steady, consistent pace.

NOTE: The bit has reached the desired depth when the plunge cutting accessory makes contact with the workpiece.

Use just enough pressure to keep the tool from chattering or bouncing.

NOTE: Heavy pressure will decrease the tool’s speed and put a strain on the motor. Normally the weight of the tool alone is adequate for most jobs.

Lift the tool away from the workpiece before turning off the tool.
