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.

OPERATING THE ROTARY TOOL
See Figure 9, page 16.
Learning to use the rotary tool:

the tool to be grasped in a "pencil grip" or a "golf grip"
method.
 Examine the rotary tool accessories carefully. Damaged
