HI, I’M ANIE
Thank you for purchasing the award-winning JOOLTOOL™ X System. I designed it with YOU in mind.
In case you didn’t know, I began my career at a very young age as a jeweler, designer and gemologist for my fathers
business. That’s me in the picture above, working at the bench when I was just 11 years old. Customers’ pieces had to be
nished quickly and beautifully so I constantly created new tools to make work easier and more productive. This strong
inventive spirit led me to develop the multi-functional JOOLTOOL™ System.
I partnered with the 3M Company because we share a passion for quality. Their industrial-grade abrasives are a perfect
match for our rugged JOOLTOOL™ for nishing, grinding, sharpening and polishing. The JOOLTOOL™ is trusted by top
professionals in various industries: automotive, woodworking, jewelry, metalworking, military, aerospace, medical and
many more. Now you can become a PRO too!
The JOOLTOOL™ X is intuitive to learn and easy to master. Simply follow this guide to help you get started.
Within these pages you will nd myANIE’S TIPS ; read them for useful info.

ABRASIVES, BACKPADS & CUSHIONS
Remove all protective film from new ABRASIVE before applying it onto the BACKPAD.
NOTE: Adhesive cures rapidly when ABRASIVE is applied onto BACKPAD.
ANIE’S TIP: At first, apply the ABRASIVE very lightly onto the BACKPAD. This will give you the
opportunity to make corrections and adjust the SEE-THRU™ pattern alignment if necessary
before the adhesive cures. Press firmly to adhere when the SEE-THRU™ alignment is correct.
HOW TO REMOVE LEFTOVER ADHESIVE FROM BACKPAD: When changing worn abrasives,
you can leave the leftover adhesive on the BACKPAD as the new abrasive will likely fuse
with it upon use. If you prefer a clean surface, you can remove leftover adhesive by
dabbing with the sticky side of your old abrasive or sticky tape. Do NOT use solvents!
ALWAYS change ABRASIVE if it is damaged, torn or is excessively worn.
3M recommends to DISCARD an abrasive once its been removed/unstuck from the BACKPAD
as the ADHESIVE on the Abrasive is designed for SINGLE APPLICATION ONLY.
Failure to follow this rule can potentially cause property damage and/or personal injury!
NEVER use an ABRASIVE if it is not adhering to the BACKPAD.
NEVER apply ABRASIVES on BACKPAD when wet.
NEVER use disc if the ABRASIVE has been improperly installed onto the BACKPAD.
Improperly installed abrasive increases risk of property damage and/or personal injury!
NEVER cut, change, or distort the shape of the SEE-THRU ™ design on the abrasive.
ALWAYS place abrasive on the FLAT (BOTTOM) surface of the BACKPAD.
ALWAYS install abrasives on the BACKPAD by aligning correctly with the SEE-THRU™ design.
ALWAYS press firmly to ensure full adherence between ABRASIVE and BACKPAD.
HOW TO SETUP
ALWAYS turn JOOLTOOL “OFF” before installing/changing BACKPADS or ACCESSORIES.
NEVER install BACKPADS while the motor is “ON”. This can cause personal injury.
The motor rotation is COUNTER CLOCKWISE
Use for ABRASIVES that require CUSHION BACKING
(ex: Polishing Diamond, Trizact™ and other FINE Abrasives)
ALWAYS apply CUSHIONS BEFORE applying ABRASIVES.
ALWAYS remove all protective film from CUSHIONS
before applying it onto the BACKPADS.
ALWAYS apply CUSHIONS to flat surface of BACKPADS.
NOTE: DO NOT APPLY CUSHIONS UNDER FELT DISC OR SCRATCH-ERASER ABRASIVES.
ALWAYS install BACKPADS with ABRASIVE side DOWN.
ALWAYS tighten your BACKPADS snuggly onto the spindle before use.
ALWAYS use GENUINE JOOLTOOL™ BACKPADS & ORIGINAL spindle.
This will guarantee that your discs will be perfectly centered and give you optimal results.
NEVER use third-party (non-JOOLTOOL™ brand) Spindles.
NEVER use damaged or cracked BACKPADS as they may break apart during use, potentially causing injury.
NEVER place workpiece on top or the side of spinning disc. The disc can eject workpiece and may cause loss of control.
ALWAYS Turn the Jooltool “OFF” if excessive vibration occurs during use. See “TROUBLESHOOTING” p.28

CUTTING EDGE
DIRECTION
!
AVOID WORKING OR SLIDING OFF THE EDGE OF THE DISC!
This will prevent damage to the BACKPAD or the workpiece.
SHARPENING BASICS
STEP 1:
Lightly make
contact with
the “back of
the edge to
the disc.
STEP 2:
Touch the entire
width of the
edge flat against
the disc.
Hold in place.
STEP 3:
When desired result is achieved,
disconnect the tool from the
abrasive by lowering it.
DO NOT SLIDE OFF THE DISC! THIS
CAN RUIN THE ANGLE OF THE EDGE
To maintain the angle of your flat workpieces. Follow these steps.
ANIE’S TIP: Know what you want to accomplish and use the correct abrasive for the task.
Using the right abrasives increases productivity, the quality of your work and the longevity of your abrasives.
Always start off with a finer abrasive, you can use a coarser grade if you need more abrasive power.
- With BOTH hands, Hold the workpiece directly UNDER the disc.
- Make GENTLE, uniform contact between the SPINNING disc and
the EDGE to be sharpened.
- ALWAYS WORK WITHIN THE SEE-THRU AREA OF THE DISC!
DISC
WORKPIECE
ANIE’S TIP: To improve visibility of the surface or
edge you are working on, darken it with a black
marker (Sharpie
) or use a marker color that
contrasts with the surface to be worked. The
marker gets erased on contact with abrasive.
FIND THE EDGE ANGLE (as shown in STEPS 1-2 above), then GRADUALLY FEED the workpieces
edge under the disc while keeping a FULL and FLAT contact. Work from the inner to the outer
edge.
- ALWAYS KEEP SHARP EDGES OR TIPS IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE ROTATION!
- AVOID “SEE-SAWING” THE PIECE ON THE DISC! (NOTE: This can cause unnecessary roundness)
- LOWER THE WORKPIECE WHEN DONE, DO NOT SLIDE OFF THE EDGE OF THE DISC!
For workpieces with rounded edges, keep in mind that they generally have a FLAT EDGE which
simply contours the rounded surface of the workpiece.
A- Make contact with the FLAT EDGE to be worked on. (See STEP 2 above)
B- Then, in a GRADUAL MOTION, move the workpiece so as to follow its ROUNDED SHAPE while
maintaining full contact with the FLAT EDGE. Stop when the desired result is achieved.
For lathe gouges with a fingernail shape:
Move the handle of the tool with pendulum-like motion while performing steps A & B here.

The motor rotation is COUNTER CLOCKWISE.

SEE-THRU Felt: Item# B-301
POLISHING BASICS
HOW TO USE YOUR SEE-THRU™ FELT DISC
ANIE’S EXTRA TIP: IF YOUR FELT STARTS TO LEAVE BLACK SMEARS ON YOUR WORKPIECE, YOU MAY BE USING TOO MUCH COMPOUND.
TO REMOVE THE SMEARS, SIMPLY “PREPARE THE FELT DISC” (AS SHOWN ABOVE) AND POLISH OVER THE AFFECTED AREAS.
DO NOT FORCE THE TIP OF SHARP TOOLS OR OBJECTS DIRECTLY INTO THE SPINNING FELT DISC!
This can create a groove and you will need to redress the disc to a flat surface. See PREPARE THE FELT WHEEL
!
APPLY COMPOUND:
With your JOOLTOOL running at FULL SPEED,
Apply Compound generously
1
POLISH:
Polish freely as needed to achieve a high luster.
Harder materials may require more compound.
DO NOT USE WITH WATER!
ALWAYS STORE IN DRY LOCATION!

1-Remove protective film from adhesive side.
2-Align SEE-THRU pattern to BACKPAD
3-Adhere fully to flat surface of BACKPAD.
PREPARE THE FELT DISC BEFORE FIRST USE
ALTERNATE METHOD ALTERNATE METHOD (PORTABLE MODE)
Although not SEE-THRU, the BUFFING WHEEL
is great as a final step to remove fingerprints
from polished metal. Can also be used on
plastics at slow speeds.

BACKPAD & CERAMIC
BACKPAD & FELT
FELT is naturally uneven and may need truing.
Run the disc at full speed, sand it flat until it feels smooth and even to the touch.
You can use a COARSE CERAMIC abrasive applied to a BACKPAD.
This technique can also be used to RE-DRESS the disc if it develops grooves.
NOTE: Loose particles of felt may be released into the air during this process, wear eye
and respiratory protection and use strong vacuum attached to the port on the HOOD.
NEVER use felt with WATER. It can absorb it and disintegrate!
NEVER force a sharp tip into the spinning FELT DISC. It will DAMAGE it.
NEVER use outer perimeter of FELT DISC to polish, it may cause loss of control of workpiece.
ALWAYS apply compound from UNDERNEATH of wheel, NOT from the EDGE or the TOP.
ALWAYS store FELT and compound in a DRY location. It can absorb moisture and disintegrate.
!
AVOID CROSS-CONTAMINATING FELT !
Have a FELT DISC for polishing metals and
another FELT DISC for polishing stones.
Mount them onto separate BACKPADS.
This will prevent metal particles built-up
on the FELT from scratching your finished
lapidary pieces.
!
!
SAFETY FIRST!
Always wear eye
and respiratory
protection.
Use JOOLTOOL’S portable
mode with the BUFFING WHEEL
for removing scratches from
headlight lenses or other
sensitive bung jobs. (p.11)

ANIE’S TIPS:
- Use these steps for jewelry, car parts, custom metal work, etc..
- Always let your abrasives do the work, use a gentle touch, do NOT use force!
- Gently apply your piece to the spinning abrasive disc, making full contact.
- Keep moving your piece to achieve a much-desired uniform shape (or polish)
- You can also use a certain step individually if that is your desired nal nish.
