TYPES OF ACCESSORIES

Your rotary tool may be used with the following accessories:
Sanding Bands: These small drum sanders help you
shape and smooth surfaces in tight places. Replace
bands when they become worn. Bands come in fine
grades for finish and delicate work and coarse grades
for heavier work. Sanding bands work best at lower
speeds. Experiment with scrap material before work-
ing on an actual project. To use a sanding band,
loosen the screw in the shank, slip the band onto the
shank, then tighten the screw to secure the band.
Brushes: Wire brushes are useful for
cleaning and polishing metal, while
bristle brushes are suitable for clean-
ing softer surfaces. As with all rotary
tool accessories, you should let the
speed do the work without applying
excessive force. Use the bristle tips
only without mashing the brush
against the work piece as shown in the
top part of the illustration on the right.
NEVER RUN BRUSHES AT SPEEDS ABOVE 15,000 RPM.
The brush could eject bristles at high speed which could become embedded in
your skin or which could cause other serious injury.
Drill bits: High-speed steel drill bits are suitable for
most drilling applications in wood, plastic, and thin
metal. For ceramics, drywall, or other specialized
applications, you will need to purchase an appropriate
drill bit.
Cutting wheels: To prepare a cutting
wheel for use, remove the screw in the
center of the shank, mount the wheel,
and replace the screw.

Failure to follow all the warnings for using attachments
listed in the front of this manual could cause the cutting wheel to fragment,
causing serious injury.
Cutting bits: Use cutting bits for shaping various
materials. The smallest cutting bits are suitable for
use in engraving.
Polishing wheels: These accessories are useful for
removing tarnish and weathering on metal and for polish-
ing plastics. They require a special shank with a screw tip.
To prepare a polishing wheel, screw the felt onto the
shank tip. Reverse to remove. Polishing grease can be
used in small quantities to aid in polishing metal. Lower
speeds are best for these accessories.
Router bits: An assortment of router bits
is available for purchase from your
hardware or home center retailer. These
accessories carve patterns in wood and
plastic that can be used for ornamental
purposes or for joining (such as when
cutting a dado).
Grinding stones: Use these stones
for smoothing hard materials such
as wood, plastic, and metal. Be sure
not to allow the work piece to over-
heat as this can cause charring
(wood), melting (plastic), or discol-
oration (metal). Aluminum oxide
(red) accessories are best for wood,
metals, and plastics, while silicon
carbide (blue) accessories are best
for very hard surfaces such as glass.
