GETTING STARTED
USE
The first 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 fly 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 first 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 forefinger. PICTURE 6
The “golf” grip method is used for heavier operations such as
grinding or cutting. PICTURE 7
OPERATING SPEEDS
This tool is a high speed multitool. Its speeds vary from 10000 to
33000 RPM. Adjusting the no. of RPM to your project will give a
better end result. 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.
The 3000 multitool switch settings are marked on the speed
control switch. 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
(15 000 RPM 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, shaping and
cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood. The settings for approximate
RPM’s are:
