bindandareeasiertocontrol.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Useofthepowertoolforoperationsdifferent
fromthoseintendedcouldresultinahazardoussituation.
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slipperyhandlesandgrasping
surfacesdonotallowforsafehandlingandcontrolofthe
toolinunexpectedsituations.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. Achargerthatissuitablefor one type
ofbatterypackmaycreateariskoffirewhenusedwith
anotherbatterypack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Useofanyotherbatterypacksmaycreate
ariskofinjuryandfire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquidejectedfromthe
battery may cause irritation or burns.
Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or
modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictablebehaviorresultinginfire,explosion,orrisk

4 – English
ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
Theeyeprotectionmustbecapableofstoppingflying
debrisgeneratedbyvariousoperations.Thedustmaskor
respiratormustbecapableoffiltratingparticlesgenerated
byyouroperation.Prolongedexposuretohighintensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.Fragmentsofworkpieceorofa
brokenaccessorymayflyawayandcauseinjurybeyond
immediateareaofoperation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessorycontactinga“live”wiremaymakeexposed
metalpartsofthepowertool“live”andcouldgivethe
operatoranelectricshock.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during
the start-up. Thereactiontorqueofthemotor,as it
acceleratestofullspeed,cancausethetooltotwist.
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical.
Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the
tool in the other hand while in use. Clampingasmall
workpieceallowsyoutouseyourhand(s)tocontrolthe
tool.Roundmaterialsuchasdowelrods,pipesortubing
haveatendencytorollwhilebeingcut,andmaycause
thebittobindorjumptowardyou.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
youlosecontrol,thecordmaybecutorsnaggedandyour
handorarmmaybepulledintothespinningaccessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. Thespinningaccessory
maygrabthesurfaceandpullthepowertooloutofyour
control.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other
adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose
adjustmentdevicescanunexpectedlyshift,causingloss
of control, loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.
Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snagyourclothing,pullingtheaccessoryintoyourbody.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s
fanwilldrawthedustinsidethehousingandexcessive
accumulationofpowderedmetalmay causeelectrical
hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials.Sparkscouldignitethesematerials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Usingwaterorotherliquidcoolantsmayresultin
electrocution or shock.
KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS
Kickbackisasuddenreactiontoapinchedorsnagged
rotatingwheel,sandingband,brushoranyotheraccessory.
Pinchingorsnaggingcausesrapidstallingoftherotating
accessorywhichinturncausestheuncontrolledpowertool
tobeforcedinthedirectionoppositeoftheaccessory’s
rotation.
Forexample,ifanabrasivewheelissnaggedorpinched
bytheworkpiece,theedgeofthewheelthatisentering
intothepinchpointcandigintothesurfaceofthematerial
causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may
eitherjumptowardorawayfromtheoperator,dependingon
directionofthewheel’smovementatthepointofpinching.
Abrasivewheelsmayalsobreakundertheseconditions.
Kickbackistheresultofpowertoolmisuseand/orincorrect
operatingproceduresorconditionsandcanbeavoidedby
takingproperprecautionsasgivenbelow.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickbackforces,ifproperprecautionsaretaken.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges,
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners,sharpedgesorbouncinghaveatendencyto
snagtherotatingaccessoryandcauselossofcontrolor
kickback.
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Suchbladescreate
frequentkickbackandlossofcontrol.
Always feed the bit into the material in the same
direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the
material (which is the same direction as the chips are
thrown). Feedingthetoolinthewrongdirectioncauses
thecuttingedgeofthebittoclimboutoftheworkand
pullthetoolinthedirectionofthisfeed.
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed
cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the
work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they
becomeslightlycantedinthegroove,andcankickback.
When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually
breaks.Whenarotaryfile,high-speedcutterortungsten
carbidecuttergrabs,itmayjumpfromthegrooveand
youcouldlosecontrolofthetool.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF
OPERATIONS:
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and only for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel.
Abrasivecut-offwheelsareintendedforperipheralgrinding,
sideforcesappliedtothesewheelsmaycausethem to
shatter.

5 – English
ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved
shoulder flange that are of correct size and length.
Propermandrelswillreducethepossibilityofbreakage.
Do not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut. Overstressingthewheelincreasestheloadingand
susceptibilitytotwistingorsnaggingofthewheelinthe
cutandthepossibilityofkickbackorwheelbreakage.
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. Whenthewheel,atthepointofoperation,
ismovingawayfromyourhand,thepossiblekickback
maypropelthespinningwheelandthepowertooldirectly
at you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting
a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and
hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes
to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-
off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur. Investigateandtake
correctiveactiontoeliminatethecauseofwheelpinching
or snagging.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. Thewheelmaybind,walkuporkickbackifthe
powertoolisrestartedintheworkpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Largeworkpieces
tendtosagundertheirownweight.Supportsmustbeplaced
undertheworkpiecenearthelineofcutandneartheedge
oftheworkpieceonbothsidesofthewheel.
Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas. Theprotrudingwheel
maycutgasorwaterpipes,electricalwiringorobjectsthat
can cause kickback.
SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE
BRUSHING OPERATIONS:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristlescaneasilypenetratelightclothingand/orskin.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using them. During this time no
one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose
bristlesorwireswillbedischargedduringtherun-intime.
Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away
from you. Smallparticlesandtinywirefragmentsmaybe
dischargedathighvelocityduringtheuseofthesebrushes
andmaybecomeimbeddedinyourskin.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
Always use proper guard with grinding wheel.Aguard
protectsoperatorfrombrokenwheelfragments.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual
carefully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Followingthisrulewillreducetheriskofelectricshock,
fire,orseriousinjury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.Followingthisrulewillreduce
theriskofseriouspersonalinjury.

SELECTING THE RIGHT SPEED
See Figure 9, page 13.
Therotarytoolhasaspeedrangeof5,000-34,000RPM.To
selecttherightspeedforeachjob,useapracticepieceof
material.Varyspeedtofindthebestspeedfortheaccessory
youareusingandthejobtobedone.
Usethespeedcontroldialtosetthebestspeedforthejob.
Whenthedialissettothemaximumsetting,approximately
34,000RPMisachieved.
Refer to the Speed Dial Settingstabletodeterminethe
properspeedbasedonthematerialbeingworkedandthe
typeofaccessorybeingused.
SLOWER SPEEDS
Certainmaterials,someplasticsforexample,requirearela-
tivelyslowspeedbecausethefrictionofthetoolgenerates
heatandcausestheplastictomeltathighspeed.
Slowspeeds(15,000RPMorless)areusuallybestfor
polishingoperationsusingthepolishingaccessories.They
mayalsobebestforworkingondelicateprojects,delicate
woodcarving,andfragilemodelparts.
Higherspeedsarebetterforcarving,cutting,andshaping
wood.
Hardwoods,metals,andglassrequirehighspeedoperation.
Drillingshouldalsobedoneathighspeeds.
Todeterminetheoptimumoperationalspeedfordifferent
materialsandaccessories,refertotheSpeed Dial Settings
table.Lookthistableoverandbecomefamiliarwithit.
Thebestwaytodeterminethecorrectspeedforworkon
anymaterialistopracticeforafewminutesonapieceof
scrap,evenafterreferringtothetable. You can quickly
learnthataslowerorfasterspeedismoreeffectivejustby
observingwhathappenswhenyoumakeapassortwoat
differentspeeds.
Whenworkingwithascrappieceofplastic,startataslow
rateofspeedandincreasethespeeduntil you observe
whethertheplasticismeltingatthepointofcontact;reduce
thespeedslightlytogetoptimumworkingspeedwithout
meltingtheworkpiece.
NOTE:
Plasticandmaterialsthatcouldmeltatlowtemperatures
shouldbecutatlowspeeds.
Softwoodshouldbecutathighspeed.
Aluminum,tin,andcopper,lead,andzincalloysmaybe
cutatanyspeed,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.
OPERATION
OPERATING THE ROTARY TOOL
See Figure 10, page 13.
Learning to use the rotary tool:
Holdthepeninyourhandandgetusedtoitsweight,
balance,andthetaperofthehousing.Thistaperpermits
thepentobegraspedlikeapencil.
Examinetherotarytoolaccessoriescarefully.Damaged
accessoriescanflyapartastheycomeuptospeedand
shouldnotbeused.Theuseofdamagedaccessories
canresultinseriouspersonalinjury.
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opera-
tionssuchasgrindingaflatsurfaceorusingcut-offdiscs.
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.
