Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 bystanders, 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 xxxx

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.

Safety Rules for Drill Press

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

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.

Unplug tool before setting up in table,
making adjustments or changing bits.

Accidental start-up of the tool can cause injury.

Securely fasten table to a stable platform or
workbench. During operation unstable

platforms or workbenches may shift or tip
causing loss of control and injury.

Securely fasten tool to table before
operating. If tool loosens during operation it

will tend to ìwalkî down from clamp and tool
may fall while bit is still spinning.

Know how to shut off the tool! Position the
tool so that switch is readily accessible to
quickly shut off in an emergency.

Route the cord away from the bit or cutting
area. Cutting into live electrical wires may

result in a shock, burn or electrocution.

Wear eye protection and dust mask. Use
only in well-ventilated area. Using personal

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

Do not wear gloves, necktie or loose
clothing during operation of the tool. Tie

back long hair or use a hair net. Clothing or
hair can become caught in the spinning bit and
injury may occur.

Match the appropriate bit and its speed to
your application. Do not use bits that have a
cutting diameter that exceed the capacity of
the tool. The drill press stand is intended

primarily for light duty use on wood.
Overloading the tool can lead to personal injury
or tool failure.

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 workpiece, possibly causing
the bit to break.

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

into a nail will damage the bit and can cause
the workpiece to jump causing loss of control.

Before operation clamp workpiece or brace
against column. Never hold a small
workpiece in one hand and bring the drill
down. Clamping the workpiece allows you to

use both hands to control the tool. Securing
workpiece will prevent spinning or climbing on
the drill during operation.

Use a “V” block for supporting round stock
such as tubes or rods when drilling. Round

material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing
have a tendency to roll while being cut, and
may cause the bit to ìbiteî or the workpiece to
jump toward you.

You must set and lock tool head into the
desired position and depth of cut when
performing operations other than drilling.
Bring the workpiece to the tool and allow for
sufficient space, at least 150 mm (6"),
between your hand and the spinning bit.

Contact with the spinning bit will cause injury.

When this drill stand is used for routing,
sanding, brushing, milling, etc. use extra
caution because the side of the bit performs
the cutting action. Feed the workpiece on

DM 2615302563 12/98 1/11/99 11:26 AM Page 3

the side of the bit that rotates against the
workpiece. Feeding the work in the wrong

direction will cause the workpiece to ìclimbî up
on the bit and may lead to loss of control
during operation.

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
workpiece.

Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit.

The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand
may not always be obvious. Workpiece could
shift or your hand could slip during operation.

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 touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. Contact with a spinning bit will

cause injury and after use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.

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

complete stop it is safe to remove workpiece
and clean the stand.

THINK SAFETY! Safety is a combination of
operator COMMON SENSE and ALERTNESS at
all times when the tool is being used.

ATTENTION: Read this entire instruction

manual carefully before using your Dremel
Drill Press Stand. Retain instructions for
future reference. Your Dremel Drill Press
Stand will convert Rotary Tools to a Drill
Press for drilling accuracy.

NOT FOR USE WITH CORDLESS
ROTARY TOOLS

NOTE: Metal clip around gear rack,

between head housing and tool holder
bracket is for packaging only.

Assembly

Place the 3/8-16 hex nut into the nut well at
the rear of the column hole in the base and
thread the column set screw through the
hole in the rear of the base and into the hex
nut. Insert the column into the base and
tighten the column screw.

Assemble the head housing over the
column and tighten the lock knob to the
desired position. Assemble the cord holder
into the top of the column and the three
grommets into the mounting holes of the
base (as shown). The screws and the
washers are for fastening the base to the
workbench. Tighten the mounting screws
until they are equally compressed (do not
over tighten).

Operation

1. Check the model number of your rotary
tool and use the listing below to
determine which bushing to use when
adapting your tool to the Shaper/Router
table.

2. Insert the rotary tool into the TOOL
HOLDER BRACKET. With the spindle

lock and switch to the front, secure
rotary tool by tightening the two CLAMP

NUTS. (See Fig. 2)

WHEN CLAMPING ROTARY TOOL IN
HOLDER, MAKE SURE TOOL IS SEATED
PROPERLY AND VENT OPENINGS ARE
NOT COVERED.

3. Push the rotary tool POWER CORD into
the vee of the CORD HOLDER. Cord
holder will keep cord away from the
work area. Be sure there is sufficient
slack to keep the cord from being taut
when the full stroke of the drill press is
used.

4. Place the drill bit you will use in the
collet and secure. A minimum of 1/2” of
the drill shank should be up in the collet.

(See Fig. 3)

To eliminate side play in the TOOL
HOLDER BRACKET, loosen the BOTTOM
NUT on DEPTH SHAFT. Turn depth shaft

slightly (as shown) and retighten nut. All
side play can be eliminated. Do not turn to
the extent that you create excess friction
between depth shaft and HEAD HOUSING.

(See Fig. 4)

Use the DEPTH STOP COLLAR when you
wish to drill holes to a measured depth. A
scale on the DEPTH SHAFT is provided for
your convenience. Depth stop collar will
ensure that you can drill several holes to the
same depth. (See Fig. 5)

5. ADJUSTING SCREWS are provided at
top and bottom of the HEAD HOUSING
for adjusting to sliding feel of the GEAR
RACK. Adjust them to the desired
tension. If they are too tight, the return
spring will not return the rotary tool to its
up position. In this case, back them off

SLIGHTLY. (1/16 of a turn will be .002).
(See Fig. 6)

6. Lay out the hole locations on the
workpiece and CENTER PUNCH at
these locations. Center punching will
prevent walking of the drill point and
insure proper hole location. The benefits
of center punching are less drill
breakage and better hole size tolerance.

(See Fig. 7)

7. Secure the WORKPIECE to the base
before drilling. This will keep the
workpiece from climbing the drill bit or
spinning. The benefit is safety and better
quality work. HOLD DOWNS (Not
Included) are very good for holding a
workpiece, or use a small utility vise for
holding when drilling. (See Fig. 8)

8. Loosen the LOCK KNOB one-half turn
and move the head housing until the drill
bit tip is near the workpiece. (A
maximum of 1/4 between drill tip and
workpiece is recommended). Retighten
lock knob. (See Fig. 9)

Remove HEAD HOUSING from COLUMN
by loosening LOCK KNOB. Remove lock
knob and lock arm nut from head housing.
Place lock arm nut into square opening at the
bottom of head housing and turn the knob 1
or 2 turns. Place head housing back on
column and tighten as shown. (See Fig. 10)

Helpful Hints

When drilling ROUND PIECES, use a “V”
BLOCK or vise. To drill a hole in the center

of a round piece, a center punchmark is
necessary. (See Fig. 11)

Avoid force feeding to such an extent that
the motor speed is noticeably reduced. Also
feed carefully when approaching point of
breakthrough. This will avoid making ragged
breakthrough edges.

For accurate drilling, lower the head
housing to a location where the end of the
drill bit is within 1/4” of the workpiece
before advancing the handle for feeding the
drill. Using minimum stroke and center
punching at the location to be drilled will
ensure accurate drilling.

Vous devez lire et comprendre toutes les instructions. Lenon-respect, même partiel,

des instructions ci-après entraîne un risque de choc életrique, d'incendie et/ou de

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.
Reportez-vous aux « Dimensions recommandées des
cordons de rallonge » dans la section Accessoires de ce
manuel.

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.

N'utilisez pas un outil si son interrupteur est bloqué.

Un outil que vous ne pouvez pas commander par son
interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

Débranchez la fiche de l'outil avant d'effectuer un
