INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To Reduce the Risk of Electric Shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it
still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way.

SERVICING OF DOUBLE-INSULATED

In a double-insulated appliance, two
systems of insulation are provided
instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated
appliance, nor should a means for
grounding be added to the appliance.
Servicing of a double-insulated appli­ance requires extreme care and knowl­edge of the system, and should be
done only by qualified service person­nel. Replacement parts for a double­insulated appliance must be identical
to those parts in the appliance. A dou­ble-insulated appliance is marked with
the words ”DOUBLE INSULATION” or
“DOUBLE INSULATED” The symbol
(square within a square) may also be
marked on the appliance.

WARNING

!

ing, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains
chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and

cement and other masonry products,
and

• Arsenic and chromium from chemi-

cally-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure
to these chemicals: work in a well ven­tilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust
masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.

Operating Instructions

No matter how you use your Dremel
electric engraver, you’ll do a profes­sional-like job by following the simple
operating instructions shown.

1. In order to use your engraver, you
must first install the engraver point. To
properly install the engraver point
loosen the set screw located in the
engraver point holder (figure 1). Place
the engraver point inside the point
holder and firmly tighten the set screw.
It is important to
make sure the
engraver point is
held firmly in
place by the set
screw. To remove
a worn out

and remove the engraver point (figure

1). Replacement engraver points may
be purchased from your Dremel dealer
or direct from the factory.

2. Before plugging in the tool, be cer­tain that the outlet voltage you are
using matches the voltage number
marked on the back label (name plate
label) that is located on the engraver.

3. To use the engraver, turn the
engraver “on” by moving the on/off
switch located at the end of the tool
(figure 2). Hold the engraver at a slight
angle as you
would normally

Figure 2

hold a pencil.
Hold the unit
lightly while rest­ing your arm
comfortably on a
table. Do not press down hard while
engraving. Use a light touch guiding
the point over the work somewhat
slower than you would normally write.

4. The adjusting knob on the side of
the engraver housing controls the
stroke length and therefore the depth
of engraving (Figure 3). It is not
intended to be
used as an “OFF”

Figure 3

switch. A good
“rule of thumb” is
to select the low­est setting which
will produce a
deep enough engraving mark to meet
your requirements. To familiarize your­self, experiment with different settings
on scrap materials.

NOTE: The “lowest” position of the
adjusting knob will be with the knob
pointing to the number “1” on the

housing. With extended use, the posi­tive detent indicator associated with
the depth control knob will begin to
wear down and be less noticeable. This
is to be expected and does not indicate
malfunction of the engraver.

5. The engraver point furnished with
your engraver is carbide steel. Under
most conditions it will perform very
satisfactorily on glass, steel, ceramics
and other hard-materials. However, for
industrial and commercial work where
continuous operation is required, a
diamond point is recommended.
