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 con-
trol.
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 sur-
faces 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 suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.

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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off-position before connecting to power source
and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing 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 better 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 dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 measures 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 tool’s 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, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may cre-
ate a risk of injury and fire.
When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause
burns or a fire.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
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.

Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving
or abrasive cutting-off operations:
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or cut-off tool.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to
your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The RATED SPEED of the accessory must be at least
equal to the operating speed setting marked on the
power tool. Accessories running faster than their
RATED SPEED can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
The arbor size of wheels, sanding drums or any
other accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match
the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters
or other accessories must be fully inserted into the
collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held
and/or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the
mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at
high velocity.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the
rotating accessory and run the power tool at maxi-
mum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test
time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.
The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The
dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing
loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece
or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during
the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it
accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and
the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a
small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to
control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods,
pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being
cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward
you.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning accesso-
Safety Rules for Rotary Tools
1600A012FR_7000 2/1/17 10:10 AM Page 4

ry may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of
your control.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjust-
ment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of
control, loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Use only in well-ventilated area. Working in a safe
environment reduces risk of injury.
Allow for sufficient space, at least 6”, between your
hand and the spinning bit. Do not reach in the area of
the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to
your hand may not always be obvious.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit
and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modifica-
tion 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.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes
the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or
kickout. The wheel may either jump toward or away
from the operator, depending on direction of the
wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if
proper precautions are taken.
Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a ten-
dency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss
of control or kickback.
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
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.
When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed
cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the
work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if
they become slightly canted in the groove, and can
kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself
usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter
or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from
the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and
abrasive cutting-off operations:
Use only wheel types that are recommended for
your power tool and only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a
cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
1600A012FR_7000 2/1/17 10:10 AM Page 5

For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved
shoulder flange that are of correct size and length.
Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
Do not jam a cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the
loading and susceptibility to twisting or snagging of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or
wheel breakage.
Do not position your hand in line with and behind
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of
operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the
power tool directly at you.
When wheel is pinched, snagged or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool
and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel
comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove
the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in
motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of
wheel pinching or snagging.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large
workpieces tend to sag under their own weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a pocket cut into
existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing
operations:
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The
wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or
skin.
Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least
one minute before using them. During this time no one
is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bris-
tles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
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 use of these
brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.

Battery Care
When batteries are not in tool,
keep them away from metal
objects. For example, to protect terminals from short-
ing DO NOT place batteries in a tool box or pocket with
nails, screws, keys, etc. Fire or injury may result.
DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR EXPOSE TO
HIGH HEAT. They may explode.
Alkaline Battery Disposal
Commercially available alkaline cells can be disposed of in a municipal solid waste stream.
Additional Safety Warnings
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s
rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your
personal safety.
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.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
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.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Some dust created by power
sanding, 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 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.

COLLET NUT— To loosen, first press shaft lock button
and rotate the collet nut by hand until the lock engages
the shaft preventing further rotation.
Do not engage lock while the
Tool is running.
With the shaft lock engaged, loosen the collet nut by
hand. Change accessories by inserting the new one
into the collet as far as possible to minimize runout and
unbalance. With the shaft lock engaged, finger tighten
the collet nut until the accessory shank is gripped by
the collet. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet
nut when there is no bit inserted.
COLLETS — Four different size collets (see illus -
tration), to accommodate different shank sizes, are
avail able for your Cordless Rotary Tool. To install a different collet, remove the collet nut and remove the old
collet. Insert the unslotted end of the collet in the hole
in the end of the tool shaft. Replace collet nut on the
shaft. Always use the collet which matches the shank
size of the accessory you plan to use. Never force a
larger diameter shank into a collet.
FIXING STUCK COLLETS – It is possible for a collet to get
stuck within the collet nut especially if a collet nut is tightened onto the tool without a bit in place. If this happens,
the collet can be removed from the collet nut by pushing
the shank of an accessory into the hole in the collet nut.
This should cause the collet to pop out of the collet nut.
BALANCING ACCESSORIES — For precision work, it is
important that all accessories be in good balance
(much the same as the tires on your automobile). To
true up or balance an accessory, slightly loosen collet
nut and give the accessory or collet a 1/4 turn. Re tighten collet nut and run the Cordless Rotary Tool. You
should be able to tell by the sound and feel if your
accessory is running in balance. Continue adjusting in
this fashion until best balance is achieved. To maintain
balance on abrasive wheel points, before each use,

Operation Instructions
Introduction
The Cordless Rotary Tool is a handful of high-speed
power. It serves as a carver, a grinder, polisher, sander,
cutter, power brush, drill and more.
Your Cordless Rotary Tool has a small, powerful elec tric
motor, is comfort able in the hand, and is made to accept
a large variety of accessories including abrasive wheels,
drill bits, wire brushes, polishers, engraving cutters,
and cutting wheels. Accessories come in a variety of
shapes and permit you to do a num ber of different jobs.
As you be come familiar with the range of accessories
and their uses, you will learn just how versatile your
Cordless Rotary Tool is. You’ll see dozens of uses you
hadn’t thought of before now.
The real secret of the Cordless Rotary Tool is its speed.
To understand the advantages of its high speed, you
have to know that the standard portable electric drill
runs at speeds up to 2,800 revolutions per minute. The
typical electric drill is a low-speed, high torque tool; the
Cordless Rotary Tool is just the opposite — a high-
speed, low torque tool. The chief difference to the user
is that in the high speed tools, the speed combined with
the acces sory mounted in the collet does the work. You
don’t apply pressure to the tool, but simply hold and
guide it. In the low speed tools, you not only guide the
tool, but also apply pres sure to it, as you do, for example,
when drilling a hole.
It is this high speed, along with its compact size and
wide variety of special accessories, that makes your
Cordless Rotary Tool differ ent from other power tools.
The speed enables it to do jobs low speed tools cannot
do, such as en graving glass, etc.
Getting the most out of your Cordless Rotary Tool is a
matter of learning how to let this speed work for you.
with the wheel point secured in the collet, turn on the
Cordless Rotary Tool and run the 415 Dressing Stone
(not included, available as accessory) lightly against
the revolving wheel point. This removes high spots and
trues up the wheel point for good balance.
Remember, your new Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool is
the finest power tool of its kind. But its performance
is only as good as the accessories with which it is
used. We recommend only Dremel accessories be
used. Use of any other accessories may create a hazard. We hope you’ll enjoy many years of trouble free
pleasure from your Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool.

For best control in close work, grip the Rotary Tool
like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger.
The “handgrip” method of holding the tool is used for
operations such as grinding a flat surface or using
cutoff wheels.
Using the Cordless Rotary Tool
The first step in learning to use the Cordless 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.
When you turn on the tool for
the first time, hold it 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.
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the Cordless
Rotary Tool cuts. Keep in mind that the work is done by
the speed of the tool and by the accessory in the collet.
You should not lean on or push the tool into the work.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to the
work and allow it to touch the point at which you want
cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to begin. Con centrate on guiding the tool over the work using very little pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do
the work.
Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the
tool rather than attempt to do all the work in one pass.
To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and forth
over the work, much as you would a small paint brush.
Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the
desired depth. For most work, the deft, gentle touch is
best. With it, you have the best control, are less likely to
make errors, and will get the most effi cient work out of
the accessory.

Operating Speeds For Accessories
Set the speed indicator to fit the job to achieve the
best job results when working with different
ma te rials.
To select the right speed for each job, use a practice
piece of material. Vary speed to find the best speed
for the accessory you are using and the job to be
done.
On the Model 7000, there is a LO and HI switch. When
the switch indicator is in position 1 or LO, the tool runs
at about 7,000 RPM. When the switch indicator is in
position 2 or HI, the tool runs at about 16,000 RPM.
You can refer to the charts on pages 16 and 17 to determine the proper speed, based on the materi al being
worked and the type of cutter or other accessory being
used. These charts enable you to select both the correct acces sory and the optimum speed at a glance.
Needs for Slower Speeds
Certain materials, however, (some plastics, for ex ample) require a relatively slow speed because at high
speed the friction of the tool generates heat and causes the plastic to melt.
Most work is done at high speed on your Cordless
Rotary Tool. Lower speeds are needed only for certain
tasks.
The speed of Model 7000 is controlled by setting
this indicator on the housing.

Dremel Accessories
COLLETS
If you expect to use a variety of accessories, we recommend that in the beginning you purchase a complete set of four collets. Store these so that you will
have the proper size of collet for any accessory or drill
bit you want to use. Currently, the 1/8", 3/32",1/32"
and 1/16" collets accommodate all of the avail able
Dremel accessories. 1/8" collets are included in
most rotary tool kits.
MANDRELS
A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw head,
which are required when you use polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding discs, and pol ish ing
points. The reason mandrels are used is that sanding
discs, cutting wheels and similar accesso ries must be
replaced frequently. The mandrel is a per manent shank,
allowing you to replace only the worn head when necessary, thus saving the expense of replacing the shaft
each time.
Screw Mandrel No 401
This is a screw mandrel used with the felt polishing
tip and felt polishing wheels. 1/8" shank.
Small Screw Mandrel No 402
This is a mandrel with a small screw at its tip, and is
used with emery and fiberglass cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels. 1/8" shank.
EZ Lock Mandrel No 402
The Dremel EZ Lock makes accessory changes easy
as PULL - TWIST - RELEASE. The one-piece mandrel
design simplifies the process of changing cutting
wheels, buffs and detail abrasive brushes (EZ Lock
compatible accessories).
EZ Drum™ Mandrel No EZ407SA
The Dremel EZ Drum makes accessory changes easy
as PULL - INSERT - PRESS DOWN. The one-piece
mandrel design simplifies the process of changing
sanding bands.
Use only Dremel®, high-performance accessories. Other accessories are not designed
for this tool and may lead to personal injury or property damage.
Store accessories in a dry and temperate environment to avoid corrosion and deterioration.
The number and variety of accessories for the Rotary Tool are almost limitless. There is a category suited to
almost any job you might have to do and a variety of sizes and shapes within each category which en ables you
to get the perfect accessory for every need.

High Speed Cutters
Available in many shapes, high speed cutters are used
in carving, cutting and slotting in wood, plastics and
soft metals such as aluminum, copper and brass.
These are the accessories to use for freehand routing
or carving in wood or plastic, and for precision cutting. Made of high quality steel. 1/8" shank.
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
These are tough, long-lived cutters for use on hard ened steel, fired ceramics and other very hard ma terials. They can be used for engraving on tools and
garden equipment. 1/8" shanks.
Engraving Cutters
This group has a wide variety of sizes and shapes,
and are made for intricate work on ceramics (greenware), wood carvings, jewelry and scrimshaw. They
often are used in making complicat ed printed circuit
boards. They should not be used on steel and other
very hard materials but are excellent on wood, plastic
and soft metals. 1/8" shank.
Structured Tooth
Tungsten Carbide Cutters
Fast cutting, needle-sharp teeth for greater material
removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass,
wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber. 1/8" shank.
Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones (red/brown)
Round, pointed, flat — you name the shape and there
is one available in this category. These are made of
aluminum oxide and cover virtually every possible
kind of grinding application. Use them for sharpening
lawn mower blades, screwdriver tips, knives, scissors,
chisels and other cutting tools. Use to remove flash
from metal castings, deburring any metal after cutting,
smoothing welded joints, grinding off rivets and re mov ing rust. These grinding stones can be resharpened with a dressing stone. In machine shops, high
speed drills and cut ters normally are ground with aluminum oxide wheels. 1/8" shank.
Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones (blue/green)
Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these are made
es pecially for use on hard materials such as glass and
ce ramics. Typical uses might be the removal of stilt
marks and excess glaze on ceramics and engraving
on glass. 1/8" shank.
Diamond Wheel Points
Excellent for fine detail work on wood, jade, ceramic,
glass and other hard material. Bits are covered with
diamond particles. 1/8" shanks. (Not recommended
for drilling)

Wire Brushes
Three different shapes of wire brushes are available.
For best results wire brushes should be used at
speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM. Refer to
Operating Speeds section for proper tool speed setting. The three shapes come in three different materi-
als: stainless steel, brass and carbon wire. The stainless steel perform well on pewter, aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals, without leaving "afterrust". Brass brushes are non sparking, and softer than
steel; making them good for use on soft metal like
gold, cooper and brass. The carbon wire brushes are
good for general purpose cleaning.
Bristle Brushes
These are excellent cleaning tools on silverware, jew elry and antiques. The three shapes make it possible
to get into tight corners and other difficult places.
Bristle brushes can be used with polishing compound
for faster cleaning or polishing.
Brushing Pressure
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the work.
Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so
only the tips of the wire come in contact with the
work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be
overstressed, resulting in a wiping action; and if
this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as
much of the brush face as possible is in full contact
with the work. Applying the side or edge of the
brush to the work will result in wire breakage and
shortened brush life.
Polishing Accessories
These include an impregnated polishing point and an
impregnated polishing wheel for bringing metal sur faces to smooth finish; a felt polishing tip and felt
polish ing wheel, and cloth polishing wheel, all used
for polishing plastics, metals, jewelry and small parts.
Also included in this group is a polishing compound
(No. 421) for use with the felt and cloth polishers.
Polishing points make a very smooth surface, but a
high luster is obtained using felt or cloth wheels and
polishing compound. For best results polishing
accessories should be used at speeds not greater
than 15,000 RPM.
No polishing compound is needed when using the
425 Polishing Wheel.
INCORRECT:
Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
CORRECT: Wire tips doing the work.

Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Wheels
Use to remove paint, deburr metal, polish stainless
steel and other metals. Available in medium grit. 1/8"
shank.
Sanding Accessories
Sanding discs in fine, medium and coarse grades are
made to fit mandrel No. 402 and EZ407. They can be
used for nearly any small sanding job you might have,
from model making to fine furniture finish ing. In addition, there is the drum sander, a tiny drum which fits
into the Rotary Tool and makes it possible to shape
wood, smooth fiberglass, sand inside curves and
other diffi cult places, and other sanding jobs. You
replace the sanding bands on the drum as they
become worn and lose their grit. Bands come in fine
medium and coarse grades. Flapwheels grind and
polish flat or contoured surfaces. They are used most
effectively as a finishing sander after heavier surface
sanding and material removal is completed.
Flapwheels come in fine and coarse grades. Buffs are
a great finishing accessory for cleaning and light
sanding. They work effectively on metal, glass, wood,
aluminum and plastics. Coarse and medium buffs are
sold together. All buffs are sold individually. Do not
exceed 15,000 RPM in speed. 1/8" shank.
Grinding Wheel

slicing, cutting off and similar operations. Use them
for cutting off frozen bolt heads and nuts, or to reslot
a screw head which has become so damaged that the
screwdriver won’t work in it. Fine for cutting BX cable,
small rods, tubing, cable and cutting rectangular
holes in sheet metal.

Replacing Screw Mandrel Accessories
Mandrel No. 402 has a small screw at its tip, and is
used with emery cutting wheels and sanding discs.
Higher speeds, usually maximum, are best for most
work, including cutting steel. Which is shown here.
Mandrel No. 401 is used with the felt polishing tip
and wheels. Thread the tip on to the screw carefully.
The felt tip must thread down straight on the screw
Mandrel, and be turned all the way to the collar.
To replace a band on the Drum Sander, loosen the screw
without removing it to contract the drum then slide the
old band off. Slide the new sanding band on and then
expand the drum by tightening the screw once again.
Before each use, check to
make certain that all components are assembled to accessory shank and that the
drum is sufficiently expanded to secure the band during use. If sanding band is loose on the drum during
operation it may “fly” off and strike you or bystanders.
