Operating Instructions
The YOKE FELLOW nail drill features intuitive controls for speed and rotation direction, located on the USB cable.
- Power On/Off: Once connected to a power source, the device is ready. There is no separate power button on the handpiece; control is via the cable.

- Adjust Speed: Use the speed control dial on the USB cable to adjust the rotation speed from 0 to 30,000 RPM. Start with a lower speed and gradually increase it as needed for your specific task and comfort level.
- Usage Tips:
- Hold the handpiece firmly but comfortably. The anti-slip design provides a secure grip.
- Apply gentle pressure. Excessive force is not required and can damage nails or the device.
- Move the drill bit consistently across the nail surface to ensure even results.
