ALL BRUSHING APPLICATIONS REQUIRE LOWER SPEEDS TO AVOID WIRE DISCHARGE FROM THE HOLDER.
● Higher speeds are better for carving, cutting, shaping, cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass require high speed operation, and drilling should also be done at
high speeds.
● Ultimately, the best way to determine the correct speed for work on any material is to practice fora few minutes on a piece of scrap, even after referring to the chart. You can quickly learn
that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by observing what happens as you make a pass or two at different speeds. When working with plastic, for example, start at a slow rate
of speed and increase the speed until you observe that the plastic is melting at the point of contact. Then reduce the speed slightly to get the optimum working speed.
● Some rules of thumb in regard to speed:
1. Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
2. Polishing, buffing and cleaning with any type of bristle brush must be done at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM to prevent damage to the brush from bristles flying toward operator.
3. Wood should be cut at high speed.
4. Iron or steel should be cut at high speed. If a high speed steel cutter starts to chatter — this normally means it is running too slow.
5. Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys and tin may be cut at various speeds, depending on the type of cutting being done. Use paraffin or other suitable lubricant on the cutter
to prevent the cut material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
● Increasing the pressure on the tool is not the answer when it is not performing as you think it should. Perhaps you should be using a different accessory, and perhaps an adjustment in
speed would solve the problem. Leaning on the tool does not help.
● Your DEPSTECH rotary tool can be used with all of the Kalamottl accessories, except router bits. While the tool will work with cut-off wheels, the reduced speed of this tool will not allow
them to perform optimally. They can be used to cut soft materials such as wood or plastic, but cutting metals is not recommended. The Micro tool cannot be used with any of the
DEPSTECH line of attachments (attachments screw on to the nose of a rotary tool.)
● Let speed do the work!
This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to protect the motor and battery in the event of a stall. If you put too much pressure on the tool for too long, or bind the
bit in a work piece, especially at high speeds, the motor will stop. Simply take the tool out of the material you were stalled in, and the tool will begin to spin again at the
selected speed. If the tool continues to stall for longer than 5 seconds, the tool will automatically shut itself off.
This additional feature further protects the motor and the battery from damage. When the battery becomes close to empty, the tool may shut down automatically more
frequent than normal. If this happens, it is time to recharge the battery.
Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wiring and components which could cause serious hazard. We
recommend that all tool service be performed by a DEPSTECH Service Facility. To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, always remove plug from
wall outlet before performing service or cleaning.
TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE TOOL AND/OR CHARGER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING. The tool can be cleaned
most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean the tool by inserting pointed objects through an opening.
