Tips And Troubleshooting; Cutting Tips; Power Indicator Light - Renovator Twist-A-Saw Deluxe Kit Bedienungsanleitung

Part: 3
Hold the Twist-A-Flex™ like a pencil to etch, grind or polish
the workpiece, as required .
Note: When etching and engraving, etch with the side of the
bit, not the tip .
Note: If you can, avoid laying Twist-A-Saw™ on the
workbench while working with the Twist-A-Flex™ . Use the
hanging loop on the top of Twist-A-Saw™ to hang Twist-A-
Saw™ higher than your workpiece . This enables a straighter
Twist-A-Flex™ rotary tool shaft, which means it will operate
more efficiently . You also lessen the chance of the shaft
overheating .
WARNING: Never bend the Twist-A-Flex
shaft to a diameter of less than Ø 150mm (Ø 6") when
operating, otherwise overheating can occur . Whenever
possible, store the Twist-A-Flex

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Choosing the right speed
Remember, speed is relevant to what you are cutting .
• It's easy to increase speed, so if in doubt, start slow .
• Using the right speed will protect and prolong the life
of Twist-A-Saw™ bits . Applying too much pressure or
speed will raise the temperature of the bit and shorten
its life .
• Listen to Twist-A-Saw™ and how it is coping with the
load when deciding to change speed .
• The Twist-A-Bits workshop guide lists the
recommended speeds for each bit . These are
guides only and must be adjusted according to the
characteristics of the material being cut .

Cutting Tips

• Always use two hands on Twist-A-Saw™ for greater
control and to prevent the bit 'popping out' of the
workpiece .
• Material thickness must never exceed the length of the
cutting flutes .
• When cutting a hole in vertical material, always start
and end the cut at the top of the hole, not at the
bottom . This ensures that the cut-out will fall away from
the rotating bit .
• Always cut in a clockwise direction, except when
cutting drywall/plasterboard . If you cut in a counter-
clockwise direction, Twist-A-Saw™ can 'run away' from
you .
• Because the bit rotates, there is a slight pull to the left
when cutting . Natural differences in wood structure
can cause the bit to 'drift' . If too much pressure is
applied, this effect will be increased .
• When glass etching with the Twist-A-Flex™, consider
resting the item on a wheat bag to provide a steady
work platform .
