WARNING

AFTER COMPLETING A CUT AND THE

SWITCH HAS BEEN RELEASED, BE AWARE

OF THE NECESSARY TIME IT TAKES FOR THE WHEEL TO COME

TO A COMPLETE STOP DURING COAST DOWN. DO NOT SET

THE TOOL DOWN UNTIL THE ACCESSORY HAS COME TO A

COMPLETE STOP.

1. Make sure material being cut is secured in a vise or fixture

before attempting to cut

2. Keep your body positioned to either side of the wheel, but

not in line with the wheel. It is important to support the tool

properly and to position your body such as to minimize body

exposure from possible wheel binding and recoil.

3. Grip the tool firmly while cutting and always be ready and

able to manage the cut.

4. Avoid jamming, twisting or pinching the wheel with the

workpiece of otherwise applying excessive side pressure to

the wheel.

Cutting tile

Make sure material being cut is secured in a vise or fixture before

attempting to cut.

Turn the tool on and wait for the wheel to reach full speed. For

cuts that extend to the edge of a tile, cut all the way through

edge(s) along your cut line.

Score the tile first along your cut line, making multiple passes to

progressively cut through the tile.

This tool does not use wheels designed for face-grinding. If your

cut requires a smooth, finished edge, use an appropriate tile

finishing tool to refine the tile edge.

Plunge or interior cuts

The size and versatility of the Dremel DSM20 make it an excellent

option for making plunge or interior cuts into a workpiece such as

flooring, paneling, or siding.

1. Mark the surface to be cut with the desired cut lines

2. Loosen the Depth Adjustment Lever so that the spring loaded

foot releases and goes to the zero depth setting. Leave the

Depth Adjustment Lever loose during this cut.

3. Rest the Foot of the tool on the workpieces and Align the

tool’s wheel with the cut line. PICTURE 11

4. While holding the tool firmly, Press the Paddle Switch and

allow the tool’s wheel to come up to full speed.

5. Slowly plunge/lower the tool and wheel into the workpiece.

PICTURE 12

6. Guide the tool forward and complete the cut

7. Release the Paddle Switch and allow the tool to come to a

complete stop.

8. Remove the tool from the workpiece.

9. Repeat steps 3-8 as required to complete your cuts.

Flush cutting

First, consider the desired height of the flush cut. For flooring

installation, add up the thickness of your flooring adhesive, the

flooring itself, and any underlayments or other material that will

add to the thickness of the finished floor.

1. Install the flush cutting wheel on the tool as described in

“Flush Cutting Wheel Assembly”.

2. Adjust the depth of the wheel to the desired depth setting.

3. Turn the tool on it’s side so that the flush cut foot rests

against the flooring.

4. Firmly grip the tool. Turn tool on and allow it to come to full

speed before entering workpiece.

5. Complete your cut and remove the tool from the workpiece

before turning the tool off. PICTURE 13
