Practice on scrap materials first to see how the
Rotary Tool's high speed action performs. Keep
in mind that the work is done by the speed of
the tool and by the accessory in the collet. You
should not lean on or push the tool during use.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to
the work and allow it to touch the point at which
you want cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to
begin. Con centrate on guiding the tool over the
work using very little pressure from your hand.
Allow the accessory to do the work.
Usually, it is best to make a series of passes
with the tool rather than attempt to do all the
work in one pass. To make a cut, for example,
pass the tool back and forth over the work,
much as you would a small paint brush. Cut a
little material on each pass until you reach the
desired depth. For most work, the gentle
touch is best. With it, you have the best
control, are less likely to make errors, and will
get the most effi cient work out of the
accessory.
