Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power

tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Work area safety

Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions

can cause you to lose control.

Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor

use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear

to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator.

If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault

Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to supply the power to your tool. GFCI

and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your fin-

ger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables bet-

ter control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices

can reduce dust-related hazards.

WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 2

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely

control the power tool.

Power tool use and care

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas-

ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are

caused by poorly maintained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the

power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand

or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted.

Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will

make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand

or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories run-

ning over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury.

If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp bend. Over bending the shaft can

generate excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece. The recommended minimum is 6" radius.

Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching any acces-

SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL (CONTINUED)

sories. You may unexpectedly cause the tool

to start leading to serious personal injury.

Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool up. You may accidentally activate the

switch.

Always hold the hand piece firmly in your hands during the start-up. The reaction

torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the shaft to twist.

Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area.

Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury.

After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can

unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.

Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your

hand may not always be obvious.

Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using wheel. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose

bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.

Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds greater than 15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you.

Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the “cleaning” action with these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin. Bristles or wires will be discharged from the brush at high speeds.

Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheels to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments

from a wheel that bursts during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders.

Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged

bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break.

Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small work-

piece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient space, at least 6", between your hand and the spinning bit. Round material such as

dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to “bite” or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool.

Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your hand. For example, if carving wood, make

sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects can cause the bit to jump.

Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting

edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter.

Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control

and kick-back.

The direction of feed with the bit into the material when carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong

direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to

the tool is left “ON” the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury.

Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to a

complete stop it is safe to put it down.

Do not grind or sand near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could

ignite these materials.

Do not touch the bit or collet after use.

After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.

Regularly clean the tool's air vents with compressed air. Excessive accumulation of

powdered metal inside the motor housing may cause electrical failures.

DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 4

Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember that a

careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury.

This product is not intended for use as a dental drill, in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious injury may result.

When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand while using any of these accessories. The reason is that these

wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback causing loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand should be used to steady and guide the hand holding the tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually

SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL (CONTINUED)

breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.

Some dust created by

power 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 chemically 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.

OPERATION

ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)

Learning To Use the Rotary Tool

Getting the most out of your rotary tool is a matter of learning how to let the speed and the feel of the tool in your hands work for you.

The first step in learning to use the rotary tool 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 comfort grip 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. This is not common, but it does happen.

When holding tool, do not

cover the air vents with your hand. Blocking the air vents 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 rotary tool 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.

WARNING

CAUTION

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 for error.

For best control in close work, grip the rotary tool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger.

The “golf” grip method is used for more aggressive operations such as grinding or cutting.

Keyless Chuck

The keyless chuck is used in place of the standard collet and collet nut to easily and quickly remove and install some accessories.

The keyless chuck holds various accessories with shank sizes 1/32" to 1/8" and is intended for light duty accessories such as drill bits, sanding drums, polishing accessories, wire and bristle brushes and cut-off wheels.

1. See steps 1—3, Changing Collets on page 9 to install the keyless chuck.

2. Thread the keyless chuck onto the rotary tool shank.

3. Use the supplied wrench to completely tighten the keyless chuck if you are unable to apply sufficient tightening pressure to hold the bit or accessory.

Keyless Chuck

OPERATION (CONTINUED)

Operating Speeds

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.

NOTE: Speed is affected by voltage changes. A reduced incoming voltage will slow the RPM of the tool, especially at the lowest setting. If your tool appears to be running slowly, increase the speed setting accordingly. The tool may not start at the lowest switch setting in areas where outlet voltage is less than 120 volts. Simply move the speed setting to a higher position to begin operation.

The 300 Series Rotary Tool switch settings are marked “near” the speed control switch on the front tool label. Refer to the Speed Settings chart on pages 12 thru 14 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 slow speeds.

Slow speed operation (15,000 RPM or less) is usually best for polishing operations employing the felt polishing accessories, delicate wood carving and fragile model parts. 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 drilling, carving, cutting, routing, shaping, cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass require high speed operation also.

The settings for approximate RPM’s are:

Switch Setting Speed Range RPM

2 5,000-8,000

4 9,000-11,000

6 12,000-17,000

8 18,000-24,000

10 25,000-35,000

Some guidelines regarding tool speed:

• There is no accessory for the Dremel Rotary tool that will drill or cut glass.

• Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds.

• Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wire brush must be done at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM 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 slow.

• Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys and tin may be cut at various speeds, depending on the type of cutting being done. Use a paraffin (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. Please refer to the following Speed Setting charts or simply contact Dremel Consumer Service at:

1-800-437-3635

or at www

.Dremel.com.

Set the Speed Control to the desired setting.

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 unex-

pected starting or electrical shock, always remove plug from wall outlet 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 efficiency 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 rotary tool brushes after 40-50 hours of use. If the rotary tool runs erratically, loses power, or makes unusual noises check the brushes for wear and possible replacement. Remember: brushes in the rotary tool are similar to oil in a car; the more you check/service, the better the performance.

Follow these steps to check/change the rotary tool 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 in a counter-clockwise direction (Figure A).

2. Remove the brushes from the tool by pulling on the spring that is attached to the carbon brush. If the brush is less than 1/8” long and the surface of the brush that touches the commutator is rough or pitted, the carbon brushes should be replaced. Be sure to check both brushes (Figure B).

3. If one brush is worn, you should replace both brushes for better performance of your rotary tool. Remove the spring from the brush, throw away the old brush and place the spring on a new brush.

WARNING

Removing/Inspecting Brushes

CAUTION

Removing Brush Cover

DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 15

4. Place the carbon brush and spring back into the tool, there is only one way the brush will fit back into the tool.

5. Replace the brush caps onto the tool by turning the cap in a clockwise direction. To tighten, use the wrench, but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!

After replacing the brushes the tool should be run at no load; place it on a clean surface and run it freely at full speed for 5 minutes before loading (or using) the tool. This will allow the brushes to “seat” properly and will give you more hours of life from each set of brushes. This will also extend the life of your tool since the commutator surface will also wear better and longer.

Cleaning The Tool

Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.

The tool may be cleaned with compressed air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tool with compressed air.

There is no need to lubricate the Dremel™ rotary tool.

Certain cleaning agents

and solvents will damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

Clean the “soft grip” areas of the tool using a damp cloth. Tougher soiled areas may require more than one wipe application to get clean.

CAUTION

DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 16

For availability of all accessories and attachments, refer your local hardware, hobby or home center. Or contact Dremel Consumer Service at:

1-800-437-3635 or at www.Dremel.com.

Use only Dremel™, high-performance accessories. Other accessories are not designed for this tool and may lead to personal injury or property

damage.

Screw Mandrel

For use with the felt polishing tip and felt polishing wheels.

Mandrels

A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw head used with polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing points. The mandrel is a permanent shank, allowing for replacement of the worn head when necessary.

Drywall Cutting Bit

When using a template (outlet box) behind the drywall, cut in a counterclockwise direction.

ACCESSORIES

Multipurpose Cutting Bit

For use in wood, plastics, drywall, fiberglass, vinyl or aluminum siding, acoustical tile and laminates.

Start the bit into the material at a 45° angle and then slowly bring it to a 90° angle to begin the cut.

High Speed Router Bits

For routing, inlaying and mortising in wood and other soft materials. Use only with Dremel™ Router Attachment #330 or Shape/Router Table #231.

WARNING

Tile Cutting Bit

For use wall tile, cement board and plaster.

Start the bit into the material at a 45° angle and then slowly bring it to a 90° angle to begin the cut.

Small Screw Mandrel

Mandrel has a small screw at the tip and is used with emery and fiberglass cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels.

Threaded Tip Mandrel

Mandrel has a threaded tip which threads into the polishing point accessory #427.

Diamond Wheel Points

Used for fine detail work on wood, jade, ceramic, glass and other hard material. Bits are covered with diamond particles.

Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones (red/brown)

These grinding stones come round, pointed or flat and are made of aluminum oxide. Use them for every possible grinding operation: sharpening lawn mower blades, screwdriver tips, knives, scissors, chisels and other cutting tools. Use to remove flash from metal castings, deburring any kind of metal. These grinding stones can be resharpened with a dressing stone. In machine shops, high speed drills and cutters are normally ground with aluminum oxide wheels.

Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones (blue/green)

Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these are made especially for use on hard materials such as glass and ceramics.

Wire Brushes

Never use wire brushes at

speeds greater than 15,000 rpm. Refer to Speed Settings (pages 10-12) for proper tool and setting.

Three different shapes of wire brushes are available in three different materials: stainless steel, brass and carbon wire. Stainless steel brushes perform well on pewter, aluminum, stainless steel and other metals, without leaving rust. Brass brushes are non-sparking and softer than steel, making them good for use on soft metals like gold, copper and brass. Carbon wire brushes are good for general purpose cleaning.

Tungsten Carbide Cutters

Tungsten carbide cutters are long-lived cutters for use on hardened steel, fired ceramics and other very hard materials. They can be used for engraving on tools and garden equipment.

High Speed Cutters

High speed cutters are used in carving, cutting and slotting wood, plastics and soft metals (such as aluminum, copper and brass). Made of high quality steel.

Engraving Cutters

Engraving cutters come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes and are used for intricate work on ceramics (greenware), wood carvings, jewelry and scrimshaw. They are often used in making complicated printed circuit boards. They should not be used on steel and very hard materials, but are good for use on wood, plastic and soft metals.

Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutters

These cutters feature fast cutting needlesharp teeth for greater material removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass, wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber.

Bristle Brushes

Bristle brushes are used for cleaning tools on silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three shapes make it possible to get into tight corners and other difficult spaces. They can be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or polishing.

CAUTION

Brushing Pressure

•. The tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wires come in contact with the work surface.

•. If heavier pressure is used, the wires will become overstressed, resulting in a wiping action. If this continues, the life of the brush will be shortened by fatigue.

•. Apply the brush to the work surface so the majority of the brush face makes full contact. Applying the edge or side of the brush to the work surface will result in wire breakage and shortened brush life.

Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Wheels

Used to remove paint, deburr metal, polish stainless steel and other metals. Available in medium grit.

Grinding Wheel

Used for deburring, removing rust, and general purpose grinding. Use with Mandrel #402.
