POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES  
Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions  
listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.  
WARNING  
!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
WORK AREA  
Personal Safety  
Keep your work area clean and well lit.  
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite  
accidents.  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and  
use common sense when operating a  
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or  
medication. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in serious  
personal injury.  
Do not operate power tools in explosive  
atmospheres, such as in the presence of  
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power  
tools create sparks which may ignite the  
dust or fumes.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose  
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.  
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away  
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,  
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.  
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil  
and grease.  
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors  
away while operating a power tool.  
Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
Electrical Safety  
Double Insulated tools are equipped with  
a polarized plug (one blade is wider than  
the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized  
outlet only one way. If the plug does not  
fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it  
still does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician to install a polarized outlet.  
Do not change the plug in any way.  
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch  
is “OFF” before plugging in. Carrying tools  
with your finger on the switch or plugging in  
tools that have the switch “ON” invites  
accidents.  
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches  
before turning the tool ON. A wrench or a  
key that is left attached to a rotating part of  
the tool may result in personal injury.  
Double Insulation  
eliminates the need for  
the three wire grounded power cord and  
grounded power supply system. Before  
plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet  
voltage supplied is within the voltage  
marked on the nameplate. Do not use “AC  
only” rated tools with a DC power supply.  
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times. Proper footing  
and balance enables better control of the tool  
in unexpected situations.  
Avoid body contact with grounded  
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges  
and refrigerators. There is an increased  
risk of electric shock if your body is  
grounded. If operating the power tool in  
damp locations is unavoidable, a Ground  
Fault Circuit Interrupter must be used to  
supply the power to your tool. Electrician’s  
rubber gloves and footwear will further  
enhance your personal safety.  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must  
be used for appropriate conditions.  
Tool Use and Care  
Use clamps or other practical way to  
secure and support the workpiece to a  
stable platform. Holding the work by hand  
or against your body is unstable and may  
lead to loss of control.  
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet  
conditions. Water entering a power tool will  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for  
your application. The correct tool will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for which it is  
designed.  
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the  
cord to carry the tools or pull the plug  
from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat,  
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace  
damaged cords immediately. Damaged  
cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it  
ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be  
controlled with the switch is dangerous and  
must be repaired.  
When operating a power tool outside, use  
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"  
or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor  
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.  
Disconnect the plug from the power  
source before making any adjustments,  
changing accessories, or storing the tool.  
Such preventive safety measures reduce the

risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
your model. Accessories that may be  
suitable for one tool, may become  
hazardous when used on another tool.  
Store idle tools out of reach of children  
and other untrained persons. Tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
Service  
Tool service must be performed only by  
qualified repair personnel. Service or  
maintenance performed by unqualified  
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For  
example: internal wires may be misplaced or  
pinched, safety guard return springs may be  
improperly mounted.  
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting  
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely  
to bind and are easier to control. Any  
alteration or modification is a misuse and  
may result in a dangerous condition.  
Check for misalignment or binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any  
other condition that may affect the tools  
operation. If damaged, have the tool  
serviced before using. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop  
a periodic maintenance schedule for your  
tool.  
When servicing a tool, use only identical  
replacement parts. Follow instructions in  
the Maintenance section of this manual.  
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow  
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk  
of electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning  
agents such as gasoline, carbon  
tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage  
plastic parts.  
Use only accessories that are  
recommended by the manufacturer for  
SAFETY RULES FOR 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.  
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.  
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 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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Always wear safety goggles and dust

Fragments from a wheel that bursts during  
operation will fly away at great velocity  
possibly striking you or bystanders.  
Do not touch the bit or collet after use.  
After use the bit and collet are too hot to be  
touched by bare hands.  
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.  
Regularly clean the tool's air vents with  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 in-  
jury. 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.  
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.  
Some dust created by  
WARNING

activities,  
contains  
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth  
defects or other reproductive harm. Some  
examples of these chemicals are:  
• Lead from lead-based paints,  
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement  
and other masonry products, and  
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically  
treated lumber.  
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.  
Your risk from these exposures varies,  
depending on how often you do this type of  
work. To reduce your exposure to these  
chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and  
work with approved safety equipment, such  
as those dust masks that are specially  
designed to filter out microscopic particles.  
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.  
Use only accessories that are sold by  
Sears for your model. Accessories that may  
be suitable for one tool may become  
hazardous when used on another tool.  
Do not grind or sand near flammable  
materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite  
these materials.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Learning To Use the Rotary Tool  
Getting the most out of your rotary tool is a  
matter of learning how to let the speed and  
the feel of the tool in your hands work for  
you.  
The first step in  
learning to use the  
rotary tool is to get  
the “feel” of it. Hold it  
in your hand and feel  
its  
weight  
and  
For best control in close work, grip the rotary  
tool like a pencil between your thumb and  
forefinger.  
balance. Feel the  
taper of the housing. This taper permits the  
tool to be grasped much like a pen or pencil.  
The unique comfort grip on the nose allows  
for added comfort and control during use.  
Always hold the tool  
away from your face.  
WARNING  
!
Accessories can be damaged during  
handling and can fly apart as they come  
up to speed. This is not common, but it  
does happen.  
When holding tool, do not  
cover the air vents with  
CAUTION  
!
your hand. Blocking the air vents could  
cause the motor to overheat.  
IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material  
first to see how the tool’s high-speed action  
performs. Keep in mind that your rotary tool  
will perform best by allowing the speed,  
along with the correct Craftsman accessory  
and attachment, do the work for you. Do not  
put pressure on the tool during use, if  
possible.  
The “golf” grip method is used for more  
aggressive operations such as grinding or  
cutting.  
work using very little pressure from your  
hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.  
Usually it is better to make a series of  
passes with the tool rather than to do the  
entire job with one pass. A gentle touch  
gives the best control and reduces the  
chance for error.  
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly  
to the work surface and allow it to touch the  
point at which you want to begin.  
Concentrate on guiding the tool over the

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)  
Set the Speed Control to the desired setting.  
Operating Speeds  
To achieve the best results when working  
with different materials, set the variable  
speed control to suit the job. To select the  
right speed for the accessory in use, practice  
with scrap material first.  
2
NOTE: Speed is affected by voltage changes. A  
reduced incoming voltage will slow the RPM of  
the tool, especially at the lowest setting. If your tool  
appears to be running slowly, increase the speed  
setting accordingly. The tool may not start at the  
lowest switch setting in areas where outlet voltage  
is less than 120 volts. Simply move the speed  
setting to a higher position to begin operation.  
The Rotary Tool switch settings are marked  
on the speed control dial. Refer to the Speed  
Settings tables on pages 11 thru 13 for the  
correct speeds for specific accessories and  
materials.  
Some guidelines regarding tool speed:  
• There is no accessory for the Craftsman  
Rotary tool that will drill or cut glass.  
• Plastic and other materials that melt at low  
temperatures should be cut at low speeds.  
Most jobs can be accomplished using the  
tool at the highest setting. However, certain  
materials (some plastics and metals) can be  
damaged by high-speed generated heat and  
should be worked on at relatively slow  
speeds.  
• Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wire  
brush must be done at speeds not greater  
than 15,000 RPM to prevent damage to  
the brush and your material.  
• Wood should be cut at high speed.  
Slow speed operation (15,000 RPM or less)  
is usually best for polishing operations  
employing the felt polishing accessories,  
delicate wood carving and fragile model  
parts. All brushing applications require lower  
speeds to avoid wire discharge from the  
holder. Let the performance of the tool do the  
work for you when using lower speed  
settings.  
• Iron or steel should be cut at high speed.  
• If a high speed steel cutter starts to  
vibrate, it usually indicates that it is  
running too slow.  
• Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc  
alloys and tin may be cut at various  
speeds, depending on the type of cutting  
being done. Use a paraffin (not water) or  
other suitable lubricant on the cutter to  
prevent the cut material from adhering to  
the cutter teeth.  
Higher speeds are better for drilling, carving,  
cutting, routing, shaping, cutting dadoes or  
rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and  
glass require high speed operation also.  
NOTE: Increasing pressure on the tool is not  
the answer when it is not performing  
properly. Try a different accessory or speed  
setting to achieve the desired result. Please  
refer to the following Speed Setting tables.

MAINTENANCE  
Preventative maintenance  
performed by unauthorized  
WARNING  
!
personnel may result in misplacing of  
internal wires and components which could  
cause serious hazard. We recommend that  
all tool service be performed by a Sears  
Parts and Repair Centers.  
A
To avoid injury from  
unexpected starting or  
WARNING  
!
electrical shock, always remove plug  
from wall outlet before performing  
service or cleaning.  
Carbon Brushes  
The brushes in your tool have been  
engineered for many hours of dependable  
service.  
Removing Brush Cover  
To prepare the brushes for use, run the tool  
at full speed for 5 minutes under no load.  
This will properly “seat” the brushes, and  
extend the life of the tool.  
B
To maintain peak efficiency of the motor,  
examine the brushes for wear every 50-60  
hours.  
Using the tool with worn  
CAUTION  
!
brushes will permanently  
damage the motor.  
Use only original Craftsman replacement  
brushes.  
Inspect the rotary tool brushes after 40-50  
hours of use. If the rotary tool runs  
erratically, loses power, or makes unusual  
noises check the brushes for wear and  
possible replacement. Remember: brushes  
in the rotary tool are similar to oil in a car;  
the more you check/service, the better the  
performance.  
Removing/Inspecting Brushes  
Follow these steps to check/change the  
rotary tool brushes.  
C
1. With the power cord unplugged, place  
the tool on a clean surface. Use the tool  
wrench to pry up and release the clip on  
the brush cover (Figure A).  
2. Remove the brushes from the tool by  
pulling the shunt and brass clip which  
are attached to the brush (Figure B).  
"V" Notch  
NOTE: Be sure to note how the brass clip  
slides out of the slot next to the brush  
pocket. Also, note how the detent on brass  
clip fits into brush pocket slot, which secures  
the brass clip into proper position.  
3. Check each brush for wear. If brush is  
less than 3/8" long, or if contact end is  
rough or pitted, replace the brush.  
Installing Brushes  
14  
 
MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)  
4. Install existing or new brushes so the  
Cleaning The Tool  
curved surface of the brush end  
matches the curvature of the motor  
commutator (as seen through the brush  
opening).  
Ventilation openings and switch levers must  
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do  
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed  
objects through openings.  
NOTE: The detent on the brass clip must fit  
into the slot on the side of the brush pocket,  
which secures the brass clip in the proper  
position (Figure C).  
The tool may be cleaned  
with compressed air.  
Always wear safety goggles  
when cleaning tool with  
compressed air.  
5. Reinstall brush covers by angling the  
non-clip end into the opening. Make  
certain brush spring is centered in the  
“V” notch on brush, then snap closed  
the clip end of the brush cover.  
Certain cleaning agents  
and solvents will damage  
plastic parts. Some of these are:  
gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,  
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia  
and household detergents that contain  
ammonia.  
CAUTION  
!
6. Plug power cord into a wall outlet. Run  
the rotary tool at full speed for 5  
minutes under no load. This will  
properly seat the brushes and extend  
the life of the tool.  
Clean the “soft grip” areas of the tool using a  
damp cloth. Tougher soiled areas may  
require more than one wipe application to  
get clean.  
Tool Lubrication  
There is no need to lubricate the rotary tool.

15,000 rpm. Refer to Speed Settings  
(pages 10-12) for proper tool and setting.  
Three different shapes  
of wire brushes are  
available in three  
different materials:

and  
carbon  
wire.  
•. Apply the brush to the work surface so  
the majority of the brush face makes full  
contact. Applying the edge or side of the  
brush to the work surface will result in  
wire breakage and shortened brush life.  
Stainless steel brushes perform well on  
pewter, aluminum, stainless steel and other  
metals, without leaving rust. Brass brushes  
are non-sparking and softer than steel,  
making them good for use on soft metals  
like gold, copper and brass. Carbon wire  
brushes are good for general purpose  
cleaning.  
Bristle Brushes  
Bristle brushes are  
used for cleaning tools  
1/8" shank  
on silverware, jewelry and antiques. The  
three shapes make it possible to get into  
tight corners and other difficult spaces. They  
can be used with polishing compound for  
faster cleaning or polishing.
