 Practice on scrap materials first to see how the tool
operates. 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.
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, pass
the tool back and forth over the work like you would a small
paint brush. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach
the desired depth. For most work, a gentle touch is best;
you will have greater control, make fewer errors, and get the
most efficient work out of the accessory.
For the best control in close work, grip the tool like a pencil
between your thumb and forefinger.
A "hand grip" method of holding the tool is used for operations
such as grinding a flat surface or using cut-off discs.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts could create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove the bat-
tery pack from the product when cleaning or performing
any maintenance.

To operate the rotary tool:
 Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench to
prevent it from moving under the tool.
 Hold the tool in front and away from you, keeping the tool
accessory clear of the workpiece.
 Turn on the tool and let the motor and accessory build
up to full speed.
 Lower the tool gradually until the accessory contacts the
workpiece.
 Move the tool continuously at a steady, consistent pace.
 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. The weight of the tool alone is
adequate for most jobs.
Lift the tool away from the workpiece before turning off

the tool.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which could result in serious personal
injury.
