High speed cutters can be used for
carving, cutting out grooves, slots and
inlays or hollowing out surfaces.
Diamond Engravers
Materials: timbers, plastics, hard & soft metals, jewellery, ceramics,
stone, glass and scrimshaw.
These engravers have diamond particles
embedded and are ideal for ne detail
work on harder materials such as
jewellery, ceramic, hardened steel or
glass. They can also be used to touch
up and nish surfaces.
Drill Bits
Materials: timbers, plastics and soft
metals.
These are ideal for making small holes
in workpieces. Change out the collets to
suit the size of the drill bit shank.

Steel Brushes
Materials: brass, copper, pewter, aluminium, stainless steel.
The steel brushes are ideal for removing
rust and corrosion, polishing, deburring
and blending surfaces, as well as
cleaning electrical components.
Note: Allow the tips of the wire brushes
to do the work. Do not apply excessive
pressure or use the sides of the bristles
on the work surface as this may cause the bristles to wear and break.
Nylon Brushes
Materials: hard plastic, aluminium,
silverware, jewellery and other precious
metals.
The nylon brushes are ideal for light
deburring, general cleaning and
polishing jobs. These can also be used
with polishing compound (not supplied)
for faster cleaning or polishing.
Rubber Polishing Point
Materials: stone, ceramics and ferrous
metals.
The rubber tip is embedded with
abrasives for removing rough areas,
small burrs and scratch marks left from
grinding and sanding. Also ideal for
cleaning and dening grooves.
Cloth Wheel, Felt Wheels & Felt Tips
Materials: plastics, jewellery, soft
and ferrous metals, stone, glass and
ceramics
The felt polishing wheels and tips can
be used to smooth semi-rough surfaces,
cleaning and polishing. The cloth wheel
is ideal for polishing silverware or car
detailing to a high lustre and restoring
door or window hardware. Attach these to the cone mandrel for use.
1. Thread the felt or cloth wheel
straight down onto the cone
mandrel and tighten all the
way down to the collar of the
shank.
Grinding Stones
Materials: soft and hard metals (including stainless steel), ceramic,
stone, glass.
The aluminium oxide grinding stones
are great for cleaning up welded joints,
deburring castings, removing rust,
cutting rivets, sharpening tool blades or
just general purpose grinding on metals.
The grinding stones will wear out with use, and make subsequent
use uneven and hard to control for precision work. These can be
reshaped using the method below.
1. Secure the unbalanced
grinding stone in the rotary
tool.
2. Turn on the rotary tool and run
the whet stone lightly against
the revolving grinding stone.
This will remove high spots on
the accessory.
Note: Maintain a rm grip on the rotary tool and the whet stone. Do
not apply excessive pressure against the spinning grinding stone, let
the whet stone and tool do the work.
WARNING! WEAR SAFETY GLASSES, WELL
FITTING GLOVES AND BE MINDFUL ABOUT FINGER

WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock, personal injury and
material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool o󰀨 in an emergency,
before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The charger has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This tools charger is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible
electrical insulation failure within the tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to
avoid a hazard.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the
extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead
not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of re and
electric shock.
The power supply for this products charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated at
30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
WARNING! The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use accessories which are not specically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just
because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and y apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match the spindle thread. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
• Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet or chuck.
If the mandrel is insu󰀩ciently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become
loose and be ejected at high velocity.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips
and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or
accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
• 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 ying debris generated by
various operations . The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating 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 y away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
• Always hold the tool rmly 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 wherever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in 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
towards you.
• 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 device
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 ammable 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.
• Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always
use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in
direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
• 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 saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control.
• 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-o󰀨 wheel. Abrasive cut-o󰀨 wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to chatter.
• Do not “jam” the cut-o󰀨 wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Over
stressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the
possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
• Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at
you.
• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch o󰀨 the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-o󰀨 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 binding.
• 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.
• Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

ROTARY TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b.Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. 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 di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. 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.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
