SETUP GUIDE

Open the box and check that all the parts are inside, including the 120 pieces, the rotary tool, the collets, and the owner’s instructions.

Collet Insertion: Pick the right collet size (1.5mm, 2.3mm, or 3.2mm) for the tool you want to use and then put it into the chuck.
Put in Accessories: Put the bit you want to use, like a sanding band or grinding stone, into the collet and tighten it down.

Plug the Line into a 120V Wall Outlet to connect it to power. Make sure the cord is not broken and that it fits properly in the tool.
Change the Speed: Use the variable speed dial to set the rotary tool to the speed you want (8,000 to 35,000 RPM), based on the job.

Safety First: Make sure the tool is not plugged in before using it and while changing accessories to avoid crashes.
Pick the Right Bit for the Job: To get the best results, choose the right tool for the job, whether you’re sanding, engraving, or cutting.

Make Sure You Have a Steady Hand: Hold the tool strongly but comfortably to keep full control, especially when doing detailed work like engraving or polishing.
Test Run: Before you start the real job, give the tool a quick test run on some scrap material to see how well it works.

Cutting Jobs: To cut, use the right cutting disc or saw blade and make sure the object is clamped down tightly to keep it stable.
For Engraving and Shaping: Use the bits with diamond tips; make sure to change the speed to get clean cuts.
Sanding and Polishing: To smooth and buff surfaces, attach the sanding or polishing wheel and change the speed to get the finish you want.
Use the Grinding Stones: To sharpen or clean metal or stone surfaces, use the grinding stones that come with the kit at medium to high speeds.
Controlling Dust: If you’re going to sand or grind something, do it in a well-ventilated area or wear safety gear like gloves and a dust mask.
When You’re Done: Turn off the tool, unplug it, and clean it up before putting it away to keep it in good shape.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Unplug After Use: Always unplug the tool when you’re done using it or when you want to change the extras that come with it.
Keep Dry: Keep the rotary tool dry when you store it and use it so that water doesn’t damage the electrical parts.
Clean Often: After each use, wipe the tool down to get rid of dust and other particles, especially from the motor and air holes.
Watch Out for Wear: Accessories like grinding stones and sanding bands should be checked for signs of wear on a regular basis and used as needed.
Apply a Small Amount of Rubbing Oil to the moving parts of the tool if it starts to make too much noise or move too slowly.
How to Store It: To keep the tool and its parts from getting broken or lost, keep them in the box that came with it.
Check Power Line: Check the power line often for fraying, cuts, or signs of wear. If it’s broken, replace it to ensure safety.
Collection of Dust: If you’re working with things that make a lot of dust, like wood or plastic, you might want to use a dust extraction system.
Keep the Speed Control in Good Shape: If the variable speed control stops working, use a soft brush to clean the dial of any dirt or other waste.
Check the Collets and Mandrels: Look for any damage or wear on the collets and mandrels and repair them if needed.
Ventilation Maintenance: To keep the machine from getting too hot while it’s being used, make sure the holes for airflow are clean.

Sharpen Accessories: To keep grinding stones working well, use the dressing stone to re-sharpen them.
