Using the Rotary Tool
Determine the best grip for your job. The rotary tool
can be held like a pencil for fine work, or gripped
around the body when less precision is needed.
Practice on scrap material to determine the best
speed, correct accessory, and get a feel for the job.
Do not press the accessory into the workpiece. Little
or no operator force should be needed when the
correct accessory and speed are used. Touch the ac-
cessory to the workpiece and guide it over the work,
making muliple passes when necessary.
Move the tool in the same direction as the bit is
spinning (as indicated by the arrow near the front of
the tool). Moving the tool in the opposite direction
can cause the tool to kickback, ending up in loss of
control and damage to the workpiece
