Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or

serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

Safety Rules for Flex Shaft Rotary Tools

Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other

accessories running over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a

"live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp bend. Over bending the shaft can

generate excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece. The recommended minimum is 6" radius.

Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching any accessories. You may unexpectedly

cause the tool to start leading to serious personal injury.

Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool up. You may accidentally activate

the switch.

Always hold the hand piece firmly in your hands during the start-up. The

reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the shaft to twist.

Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area.

Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.

After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment

device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.

Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to

your hand may not always be obvious.

Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using wheel. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be

discharged during the run-in time.

Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds greater than 15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you.

Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the “cleaning” action with these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin. Bristles or wires will be discharged from the brush at high speeds.

Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheels to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that

bursts during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care.

Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient space, at least 6", between your hand and the spinning bit. Round

material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to “bite” or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool.

Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your hand. For example, if carving

wood, make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects can cause the bit to jump.

Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting

edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter.

Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can

cause loss of control and kick-back.

The direction of feed with the bit into the material when carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown).

Feeding the tool in the wrong direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to the tool is left

“ON” the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.

Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to

a complete stop it is safe to put it down.

Do not grind or sand near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could

ignite these materials.

Do not touch the bit or collet after use.

After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.

Regularly clean the tool's air vents by compressed air. Excessive accumulation

of powdered metal inside the motor housing may cause electrical failures.

Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always

remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury.

This product is not intended for use as a dental drill, in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious injury may

result.

When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand while using any of these accessories. The

reason is that these wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback causing loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand should be used to steady and guide the hand holding the tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.

1. Assembly HEXAGON HEAD SCREW thru housing allowing its HEXAGON HEAD to fit into hexagon receptacle. Secure with washer and CLAMP KNOB. Leave loose for now. Tighten after assembly of tubes. (Step 4)

2. Assemble the three Tubes to each other. The center tube is reduced in size at both ends. Rap the ends of the tube assembly with a soft head hammer to ensure a tight assembly.

3. The CORD HOLDER and hanger wire bushing are one piece. Assemble this part in one end of the tube assembly.

4. Insert the tube assembly, with the CARD HOLDER up (away from clamp screw) in the 5/8” hole in the clamp housing. Let the tube extend below the housing by a small amount, and secure its location by tightening the

CLAMP KNOB.

5. Place the CLAMP HOUSING on a work bench and secure by tightening the CLAMP SCREW. Any bench can be used with a thickness of 1-3/4” or less. Screw holes are provided for permanent installation. Use (3) #10 x 1-1/4” long FLAT HEAD WOOD SCREWS: two from the front and one from the top. Use this permanent installation when possible. Pre-drill with an 1/8” drill for maximum rigidity.

6. Assemble the rubber RETAINING CAP on the HANGER WIRE. This cap will keep the power tool hanger wire contained on the hanger wire when starting the motor. Insert the hanger wire into the cord holder. Hanger wire is free to rotate 360°.

7. Hang a Moto-Tool with flex shaft attachment or Moto-Flex tool on the hanger wire. The Heavy Duty MotoFlex tool must be placed on the outside. Height of the tool from the bench can be adjusted using the clamp knob. The Flex-Shaft Hanger stand can accommodate two tools at the same time. Push the power cord into one of the slots on the rim of the cord holder. Be sure to have some slack in the cord to allow free movement of the hanger wire.

8. Clamp housing has HOLES FOR CUTTER and WRENCH STORAGE. Holes for both 1/4” and 1/8” diameter shanks are provided. A RING is provided for controlling the hand piece when not in use.

ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH ALL ROTARY TOOLS, FLEX SHAFT TOOLS AND HEAVY DUTY FLEX SHAFT TOOLS.
