Ryobi P460KN Operation Manual - Page 10

OPERATION of the tool and by the accessory in the collet. You should not lean on or push the tool into the work. 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, pass the tool back and forth over the work like you would a small paint brush. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the desired depth. For most work, a gentle touch is best; you will have greater control, make fewer errors, and get the most efficient work out of the accessory. For the best control in close work, grip the tool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger. A "hand grip" method of holding the tool is used for operations such as grinding a flat surface or using cut-off discs. To operate the rotary tool:  Secure all work in a vise or clamp to a workbench to prevent it from moving under the tool.  Hold the tool in front and away from you, keeping the tool accessory clear of the workpiece.  Turn on the tool and let the motor and accessory build up to full speed.  Lower the tool gradually until the accessory contacts the workpiece.  Move the tool continuously at a steady, consistent pace.  Use just enough pressure to keep the tool from chattering or bouncing. NOTE: Heavy pressure will decrease the tool's speed and put a strain on the motor. The weight of the tool alone is adequate for most jobs.  Lift the tool away from the workpiece before turning off the tool.
