Work Area

Keep your work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered benches and 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 by-standers, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

Double Insulated tools are equipped with 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 a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in
any way. Double Insulation eliminates the

need for the three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system. Before plugging
in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied
is within the voltage marked on the nameplate.
Do not use “AC only” rated tools with a DC
power supply.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of

electric shock if your body is grounded. If
operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
must be used to supply the power to your tool.
Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will
further enhance your personal safety.

Don't 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 to
carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk

of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W."

These cords are rated for outdoor use and
reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

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

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

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

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil and grease.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
“OFF” before plugging in. Carrying tools with

your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that
have the switch “ON” invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that is

left attached to a rotating part of the tool may
result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and balance

enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,

hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

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.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job

better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON”
or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with

the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous

!

Safety Rules for Routers

in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that may affect the tools operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained tools. Develop a periodic
maintenance schedule for your tool.

Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model.

Accessories that may be suitable for one tool,
may become hazardous when used on another
tool.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or

maintenance performed by unqualified personnel
could result in a risk of injury. For example:
internal wires may be misplaced or pinched,
safety guard return springs may be improperly
mounted.

When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of

unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning agents
such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia,
etc. may damage plastic parts.

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. 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.

Always make sure the work surface is free
from nails and other foreign objects. Cutting

into a nail can cause the bit and the tool to
jump and damage the bit.

Never hold the workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand when in use.
Never place hands near or below cutting
surface. Clamping the material and guiding the

tool with both hands is safer.

Never lay workpiece on top of hard
surfaces, like concrete, stone, etc...

Protruding cutting bit may cause tool to jump.

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.

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. Always hold the tool with two hands

during start-up. The reaction torque of the
motor can cause the tool to twist.

The direction of feeding the bit into the
material is very important and it relates to
the direction of bit rotation. When viewing
the tool from the top, the bit rotates
clockwise. Feed direction of cutting must
be counter-clockwise. NOTE: inside and

outside cuts will require different feed direction,
refer to section on feeding the router. 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.

Always use the tool with the depth guide
securely attached and positioned flat
against material being cut. The guide

securely positioned on the material improves
the stability and control of your tool.

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.

Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the bit is too hot to be

touched by bare hands.

Never lay the tool down until the motor has
come to a complete standstill. The spinning

bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out of
your control.

Do not use the tool for drilling purposes.

This tool is not intended to be used with drill
bits.

Never use bits that have a cutting diameter
greater than the opening in the base.

ATTACHMENT FOR USE WITH DREMEL
ROTARY TOOL MODELS 275, 285, 395,
245, 250, 270, 280, 370, 380, 398, AND
MODEL 850 FREE WHEELER

ATTENTION: This attachment will convert

Dremel Rotary Tool to a Router for freehand
routing, edging, grooving, and circular cuts.

1. The router attachment comes assembled
ready for freehand or pilot bit routing. Type II
and III tools will fit in the UPPER and
LOWER CLAMPS without need for
bushings. When using type l, IV and V type
tools and model 398, the BLACK BUSHING
is used in the lower clamp. Assemble with
internal ledge down.

NOTE: When using Rotary Tool model 245,
270, 280, 370 and 380 the two GREY
BUSHINGS are required. Assemble the
large bushing in the upper clamp and the
small bushing in the lower clamp.

When using Rotary Tool model 250, only the
small grey bushing is required. Assemble
this bushing in the lower clamp.

2. Loosen the two CLAMP NUTS several
turns. Place the Rotary Tool in the clamps
making sure the nose of the tool is against
the ledge in the bottom of the lower clamp.
With the SWITCH and SPINDLE LOCK to
the front, secure the tool by tightening the
two clamp nuts.

NOTE: When using bushings, align the split
of the bushing to the split of the clamps.
Also be careful to seat the tool and bushings
properly.

3. Unplug the power cord from the electrical
outlet and remove the Rotary Tool from the
router to install a router bit. Fit the shank of
the ROUTER BIT into the collet allowing a
maximum of 5/8” to protrude below the
COLLET NUT. Use the spindle lock and
wrench to tighten the bit securely.

4. Loosen the CLAMP KNOB on HEIGHT
STAND and turn the DEPTH ADJUSTING
SCREW to set cutting depth. Depth of cut

will be the amount the bit extends below the
ROUTER BASE. After setting depth,
retighten clamp knob.

Adjustment markings on the back of
adjusting bracket are marked in inches and
millimeters. Each line on the fractional side
represents 1/16 of an inch. Each line on the
metric side represents one millimeter. View
the markings prior to starting your project.
Loosen the clamp knob and turn the
adjusting screw counterclockwise (raising
the adjusting bracket), set to desired depth
and tighten clamp knob. To insure proper
settings, rout and measure cut on scrap
material.

5. Used freehand, the router attachment will
help you carve letters, figures, patterns, or
perform pilot bit operations. Keep your
forearms on the bench for the best control
when freehand routing.

Use Dremel’s Wood Sign Layout Kit Model
10 for letter and number patterns. This kit
has three styles of letter patterns. (Old
English, Script, Block)

6. Router handles give better overall control
of the router attachment. The router handles
also serve as a router bit storage
compartment. By turning cap counter­clockwise and placing rotary tool router bits
in the 1/8” holes (4 per handle), you can
store up to 8 bits. Replace handle by turning
in a clockwise fashion until tight.

7. The router spindle turns in a clockwise
direction when viewed from above. For best
control and quality of cut, feed the router
into the work in the direction that the bit will
tend to pull itself into the wood. (Incorrect
feed direction will result in the bit trying to
climb over the wood.) Feed the router in
direction shown in diagram. For example, if
cutting around the edge of a square piece,
move the router in a counterclockwise
direction. If routing the inside surface, as
shown, move in a clockwise direction. Feed
direction is extremely important when using
a pilot bit freehand on the edge of a
workpiece.

8. For EDGE GUIDE use, assemble GUIDE
RODS into height adjusting bracket and

secure using (2) #10-24 SQUARE NUTS and
(2) #10-24 x 3/4" phillip drive SCREWS.
Square nut will slide in slots above the guide
rods. Screws are assembled from the top
through holes down through nuts, and
against the rods. Fasten edge guide to edge
guide CARRIAGE BOLTS. Assemble
carriage bolts through square holes in EDGE

GUIDE and through EDGE GUIDE
BRACKET and secure using WASHER and
WING NUTS. (Be sure small DOWELS at the

ends of edge guide bracket locate in
corresponding holes in edge guide.) Slide

edge guide assembly on guide rods as
shown. Set edge guide at DESIRED
DISTANCE from cutter and tighten wing
nuts. (See Fig. 1 )

NOTE: Use the flat on the front of the router
base for edging or straight line routing.

9. When edge guide settings are needed
at more than 1 3/4" from cutter, remove
edge guide assembly from guide rods. Turn
assembly around and assemble edge guide
bracket to guide rod from the opposite side.
You can now set edge guide at any distance
from cutter between 1 1/4" to 4". (See Fig. 2)

10. Edge guide is used for shaping edges,
cutting rabbets, dadoes, mortise, tongues,
grooves, slots, and chamfers. Remember to
feed so the cutter tends to pull the edge
guide against the wood. A consistent feed
rate gives a smooth cut.

11. In general, several shallow cuts should
be used when a deep groove is desired.
Maximum depth of cut will vary depending
on material used. Do not over feed to an
amount that the motor is noticeably slowed.

12. Certain circular cuts can be made using
the edge guide bracket. Radii from 1 11/16"
to 4" can be done. Remove the edge guide
and attach the edge guide bracket to the
guide rods. Use the finishing nail provided as
a compass point. Set the edge guide bracket
for the desired radius. Place the nail through
the hole in the bracket and place the nail at
the center of the desired radius to be cut.

blessures graves.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS

AVERTISSEMENT

!

AIRE DE TRAVAIL

Veillez à ce que l'aire de travail soit propre et bien
éclairée. Le désordre et le manque de lumière favorisent

les accidents.

N'utilisez pas d'outils électriques dans une
atmosphère explosive, par exemple enprésence de
liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les

outils électriques créent des étincelles qui pourraient
enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.

Tenez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les
visiteurs pendant que vous travaillezavec un outil
électrique. Ils pourraient vous distraire et vous faire

faire une fausse manoeuvre.

SÉCURITÉ ÉLECTRIQUE

Les outils à double isolation sont équipés d'une fiche
polarisée (une des lames est pluslarge que l'autre),
qui ne peut se brancher que d'une seule façon dans
une prise polarisée. Si la fiche n'entre pas
parfaitement dans la prise, inversez sa position ; si
elle n'entre toujours pasbien, demandez à un
électricien qualifié d'installer une prise de courant
polarisée. Ne modifiez pas la fiche de l'outil. La

double isolation élimine le besoin d'un cordon
d'alimentationà trois fils avec mise à la terre ainsi que
d'une prise de courant mise à la terre. Avant de brancher
l'outil, assurez-vous que la tension de la prise
correspond, à celle indiquée sur la plaque signalétique.
N'utilisez pas d'outils prévus pour courant alternatif
seulement avec une source de courant continu.

Évitez tout contact corporel avec des surfaces mises à
la terre (tuyauterie, radiateurs, cuisinières,
réfrigérateurs, etc.). Le risque de choc électrique est

plus grand si votre corps est encontact avec la terre.Si
l'utilisation de l'outil électrique dans un endroit humide
est inévitable, un disjoncteur de fuite à la terre doit être
utilisé pour alimenter votre outil. Des chaussures et des
gants en caoutchouc d'électricien contribueront à
accroître davantage votre sécurité personnelle.

N'exposez pas les outils électriques à la pluie ou à
l'eau. La présence d'eau dans un outil électrique

augmente le risque de choc électrique.

Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne transportez pas l'outil
par son cordon et ne débranchez pas la fiche en tirant
sur le cordon. N'exposez pas le cordon à la chaleur, à
des huiles, à des arêtes vives ou à des pièces en
mouvement. Remplacez immédiatement un cordon
endommagé. Un cordon endommagé augmente le

risque de choc électrique.

Lorsque vous utilisez un outil électrique à l'extérieur,

employez un prolongateur pour l'extérieur marqué «
W-A » ou « W ». Ces cordons sont faits pour être utilisés

à l'extérieur et réduisent le risque de choc électrique.

SÉCURITÉ DES PERSONNES

Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre travail et
faites preuve de jugement. N'utilisez pas un outil
électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'influence de
drogues, d'alcool ou de médicaments. Un instant

d'inattention suffit pour entraîner des blessures graves.

Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni
vêtements flottants ni bijoux. Confinez les cheveux
longs. N'approchez jamais les cheveux, les vêtements
ou les gants des pièces en mouvement. Des vêtements

flottants, des bijoux ou des cheveux longs risquent
d'être happés par des pièces en mouvement. Gardez les
poignées sèches, propres et exemptes d'huile et de
graisse.

Méfiez-vous d'un démarrage accidentel. Avant de
brancher l'outil, assurez-vous que son interrupteur est
sur ARRÈT. Le fait de transporter un outil avec le doigt

sur la détente ou de brancher un outil dont l'interrupteur
est en position MARCHE peut mener tout droit à un
accident.

Enlevez les clés de réglage ou de serrage avant de
démarrer l'outil. Une clé laissée dans une pièce

tournante de l'outil peut provoquer des blessures.

Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un bon
appui et restez en équilibre entout temps. Un bonne

stabilité vous permet de mieux réagir à une situation
inattendue.

Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez toujours
des lunettes ou une visière. Selon les conditions, portez

aussi un masque antipoussière, des bottes de sécurité
antidérapantes, un casque protecteur et/ou un appareil
antibruit.

UTILISATION ET ENTRETIEN DES OUTILS

Immobilisez le matériau sur une surface stable au
moyen de brides ou de toute autre façon adéquate. Le

fait de tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre votre corps
offre une stabilité insuffisante et peut amener un
dérapage de l'outil.

Ne forcez pas l'outil. Utilisez l'outil approprié à la
tâche. L'outil correct fonctionne mieux et de façon plus

sécuritaire. Respectez aussi la vitesse de travail qui lui
est propre.
