GETTING STARTED

USE

The ﬁ rst step in using the multitool is to get the "feel" of it. Hold

it in your hand and feel its weight and balance. Feel the taper

of the housing. This taper permits the tool to be grasped much

like a pen or pencil. The unique softgrip on the nose allows for

added comfort and control during use.

Always hold the tool away from your face. Accessories can be

damaged during handling and can ﬂ y apart as they come up to

speed.

When holding tool, do not cover the ventilation openings with

your hand. Blocking the ventilation openings could cause the

motor to overheat.

IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material ﬁ rst to see how the

tool’s high-speed action performs. Keep in mind that your

multitool will perform best by allowing the speed, along with

the correct Dremel accessory and attachment, to do the work

for you. Do not put pressure on the tool during use, if possible.

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 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 of error.

For best control in close work, grip the multitool like a pencil

between your thumb and foreﬁ nger. PICTURE 7

The "golf" grip method is used for heavier operations such as

grinding or cutting. PICTURE 8

OPERATING SPEEDS

To select the right speed for each job, use a practice piece of

material.

HIGH PERFORMANCE MOTOR

Your tool is equipped with a high performance rotary tool motor.

This motor expands the versatility of the rotary tool by driving

additional Dremel attachments.

ON/OFF SWITCH AND SPEED DIAL

Your tool is equipped with a high and low speed dial. The speed

may be adjusted during operation by presetting the dial on one

of the two settings.

The speed of Rotary Tool is controlled by setting this dial on the

housing. PICTURE 2

when using wire brushes.

Refer to the Speed Settings chart on pages 4-7 to help

determine the proper speed for the material being worked on

and the accessory to use.

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 low speeds. Low speed operation (15000

min

-1

or less) is usually best for polishing operations employing

the felt polishing accessories. 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. Higher speeds are better for hardwoods, metals

and glass and for drilling, carving, cutting, routing and shaping.

Some guidelines regarding tool speed:

• Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures

should be cut at low speeds.

• Polishing, bufﬁ ng and cleaning with a wire brush must be

done at speeds no greater than 15000 min

-1

to prevent

damage to the brush and your material.

• Wood should be cut at high speed.

• 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 slowly.

• Aluminium, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys and tin

may be cut at various speeds, depending on the type of

cutting being done. Use a parafﬁ n (not water) or other

suitable lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut material

from adhering to the cutter teeth.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Preventative maintenance performed by unauthorized 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 Dremel Service Facility. To avoid injury from

unexpected starting or electrical shock, always turn off powertool

before performing service or cleaning.

CARBON BRUSHES

The brushes in your tool have been engineered for many hours

of dependable service. 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. To maintain

peak efﬁ ciency of the motor, examine the brushes for wear every

40-50 hours.

Using the tool with worn brushes will permanently damage the

motor. Use only original Dremel replacement brushes.’ Inspect

the multitool brushes after 40-50 hours of use. If the multitool

runs erratically, loses power, or makes unusual noises check the

brushes for wear and possible replacement. Follow these steps

to check/change the multitool brushes:

1. With the power cord unplugged, place the tool on a clean

surface. Use the tool wrench as a screwdriver to remove the

brush caps. PICTURE 9
