operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
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.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger 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.
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
flammable 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.
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.
2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified 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.
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 off. 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 affect the
power tools 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.
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.
f. If operating power tools in a damp location
is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while
1
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
SPECIAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
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 product is not intended for use 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 concerning use of the
product by a person responsible for their safety.
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 fly apart.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they
do not play with the product.
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.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact
with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
cutting tool “live” and shock the operator.
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads
or any other accessory must properly fit the
spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour
holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the
power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively
and may cause loss of control.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber
before using this tool. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of serious personal injury.
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.
Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The
proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not
always be obvious.
The product is not intended for use as a dental drill
or in human or veterinary medical applications.
Serious injury may result.
When using steel screws, cut-off wheels, high
speed cutters, or tungsten carbide cutters, always
have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to
hold the work with one hand while using any of
these accessories.
The product is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons. Adequate supervision by a
responsible person must be provided to ensure that
they do not play with the product.
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 children and visitors away. Visitors should
wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from
work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or extension
cord.
Complies with AS/NZS 60745.
Recommended for the use of a residual current device
2
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 the immediate area of operation.
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 the direction opposite to the wheel’s
movement at the point of snagging.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the
cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and shock the operator.
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.
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.
Safety warnings specific for grinding operations:
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power
tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
has come to
a
complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
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.
The guard must be securely attached to the power
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the
least amount of wheel is exposed towards the
operator. The guard helps to protect the operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact
with the wheel.
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.
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with the
side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
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.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel, thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off
wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, 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 the accessory's
rotation at the point of binding. 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 the direction of
the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not
suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may
burst.
ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety for electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated
from the internal metal motor components with protecting
insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be
grounded.
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. 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.
WARNING
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety
precautions to avoid electric shock.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
3
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
For service, we suggest you return the product to your
nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use
original factory replacement parts when servicing.

to allow for expansion when the accessory gets hot.
For precision work, it is important that all accessories
be properly balanced. To balance an accessory, slightly
loosen the collet nut and give the accessory or collet a
1/4 turn. You should be able to tell by the sound and feel
if the accessory is running in balance. Continue adjusting
in this fashion until the best balance is achieved. Replace
accessories if they become damaged or unbalanced.
With the spindle lock engaged, tighten the collet nut
with the provided wrench until the accessory shank is
gripped by the collet. Avoid excessive tightening of the
collet nut.
REMOVING ACCESSORIES
SELECTING THE RIGHT SPEED
See Figures 4 - 5.
See Figure 9.
Unplug the rotary tool.
The rotary tool has a speed range of 10,000 to 35,000
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 indicator mark above the speed control dial to
set the best speed for the job. The speed control dial is
numbered 1 to 5 and MAX. For example, a speed setting
of 1 is approximately 10,000 RPM, and a speed setting of
MAX is approximately 35,000 RPM.
With the spindle lock engaged, loosen the collet nut
with the provided wrench.
Remove the accessory.
USING MANDRELS
See Figures 6 - 8.
The most common types of mandrel to use with this tool
are the standard mandrels which are used with cut-off
discs, grinding wheels, emery wheels, and cut-off wheels.
Screw mandrels are used with polishing wheels and
polishing drums. Drum mandrels are used with sanding
drums.
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
To install:
Certain materials, some plastics for example, require a
relatively slower speed because the friction of the tool
generates heat and causes the plastic to melt at high
speed.
Unplug the rotary tool.
Install the mandrel.
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
If using the standard mandrel:
Press and hold the spindle lock.

wood carving, and fragile model parts.
To operate the rotary tool:
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.
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 whether 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 from
a slow rate of speed and increase the speed until you
observe the plastic is melting at the point of contact;
reduce the speed slightly to get optimum working speed
without melting the workpiece.
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.
NOTE:
Plastic and materials that could melt at slow
temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
TELESCOPING TOOL HANGER WITH CLAMP ON
BASE
Soft wood should be cut at high speed.
Aluminum, tin, 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.
See Figure 11.
The telescoping tool hanger provides a convenient place
to hang the rotary tool while the flex shaft is in use.
To clamp the base to a worktable:
For more information, see table on speed dial settings.
Turn the clamp screw counterclockwise to open the
clamping area.
OPERATING THE ROTARY TOOL
Place clamp over the edge of worktable.
See Figure 10.
Turn the clamp screw clockwise until the clamp is
secure.
Learning to use the rotary tool:
Hold the tool in your hand and get used to its weight,
balance, and the taper of the housing. This taper
permits the tool to be grasped like a pencil.
To attach the tool hanger to the base:
Turn the lower part of the tool hanger clockwise to
unlock.
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.
Pull the tool hanger up to lengthen or push the tool
hanger down to shorten its height.
Turn the lower part of the tool hanger counterclockwise
to lock into place.
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.
Screw the tool hanger into the top of the clamp.
NOTE: When using the flex shaft, hang the rotary tool on
the tool hanger hook using the hook located at the back
of the rotary tool.
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.
OPERATING THE FLEX SHAFT
See Figures 12 - 14.
The 1/8 in. collet must be inserted into the rotary tool
before the flex shaft can be installed. To install the flex
shaft:
Unplug the rotary tool.
Loosen collet sleeve by turning counterclockwise, then
remove.
Press and hold the spindle lock, and rotate the shaft
by hand until the spindle lock engages the shaft,

to loosen the collet nut, if necessary.
Use just enough pressure to keep the tool from
chattering or bouncing.
Remove collet nut and collet.
Insert the 1/8 in. collet.
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.
Replace and tighten the collet nut.
Insert drive shaft into collet nut until the collar meets
the collet nut.
Lift the tool away from the workpiece before turning
off the tool.
Tighten the collet nut completely, keeping collar in
contact with the collet nut.
