Assembly
Disconnect the tool from power source
and ensure the rotary tool is “OFF” before making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventative measures reduce the risk of starting
the tool accidentally.
Do not use Dremel chuck
with this attachment. Use
only 1/8” collet and collet nut. Use of the Dremel
chuck may result in damage to the attachment.
To load mandrel:
1. Unscrew and remove the nose cap 1 from the tool by twisting
it counter-clockwise until it comes off the tool (Fig. 1).
2. To loosen the collet nut, first press shaft lock button 2 and ro-
tate the collet nut 3 by hand until the lock engages the shaft
preventing further rotation (Fig. 2).
Do not engage shaft lock while the tool
is running.
3. With the shaft lock 2 engaged, loosen the collet nut 3 (turn

4. Insert EZ Lock™ mandrel 6 into collet 4
(Fig.2).
Make sure the blue spacer
5 on the mandrel bottoms
out on the collet nut, setting the mandrel to
3
the correct depth. Failure to set the mandrel to
the correct depth can result in damage to the attachment.

5. With the shaft lock 2 engaged, tighten the
collet nut 3 securely (turn clockwise T) with
wrench 7 (Fig. 2).
Note: If the EZ Lock™ mandrel does not fit into the
collet, it is possible that the collet is stuck within
the collet nut. If this happens, remove the collet
nut from the tool by continuing to twist it coun-
8
2610046267.indd 8 3/2/17 1:00 PM
terclockwise. If the collet does not separate from
the collet nut when removed from the tool, push
the shank of the EZ Lock™ mandrel 6 into the hole
in the collet nut 3. This should cause the collet
4 to pop out of the collet nut 3. Re-assemble by
placing the collet 4 into the output shaft 8 and
twisting the collet nut 3 clockwise over the collet
to tighten it back onto the output shaft 8 (Fig. 3).
Then proceed with installing the EZ Lock™ mandrel according to the instructions.
To load sanding disc:
1. Pull spring-loaded sleeve 9 DOWN towards
tool with one hand and hold. You can brace the
tool on the body or workbench for extra leverage (Fig. 4).
2. With the other hand, align bow tie interface 10
on mandrel with metal bow tie interface 11 on
bottom of sanding disc 12 (Fig. 4).

Why Use a Dremel Rotary Tool to Groom Pet Nails?
Scissors and guillotine-type clippers apply pressure and pinch
the nail, which can be uncomfortable for pet toes and feet. Clipping toenails also increases the likelihood of cutting the internal
blood supply to the nail, called the quick; grinding is more gradual and controlled. If the quick is nicked using a rotary tool, the
cut is usually smaller and will heal quicker than a cut made with
a nail clipper.
Before you start
Grooming a pet’s nails for the first time can be a worrisome experience for both the pet and pet owner. Rest assured that nail
grooming does not have to be a stressful experience. By starting
early and considering grooming to be part of your pet’s training,
your pet will grow used to the experience.
12
2610046267.indd 12 3/2/17 1:00 PM
First, train your pet to feel comfortable with their paws being
touched and handled before exposing them to the rotary tool.
One way to do this is to massage their legs, paws, and individual
toes for a few minutes at least once a day. Afterwards, create a
positive association with this experience by rewarding your pet
with its favorite snack.
Next, help your pet grow gradually accustomed to the rotary tool.
Let your pet sniff the tool while it is turned off. Then, while keeping the tool in your hand, let your pet listen to the sound the tool
makes when it is turned on. Ideally, have your pet sit or lay on its
side while the tool is in your hand and running. Gradually work
up to having your pet’s toenails touch the rotating sanding disc
for less than a second. Do not grind the nails yet; simply let your
pet become familiar with the tool. Throughout the acclimation
process, continue to praise your pet and reward good behavior
with a snack. This process may take a couple of days or weeks.
Before long, both you and your pet will be able to relax and even
enjoy the grooming time that you share together.

Nail Anatomy
The nails/claws containing quick vessels described in this section are
relevant to several types of pets, including dogs and cats.
Before trimming your pet’s nails, you will need to identify the quick.
The diagram (Fig. 8) shows the basic anatomy of a pet’s toenail. The
outer nail is hard and has no feeling because it has no nerve endings.
The core of the nail is the quick. It is made up of tiny blood vessels
and nerve endings and is very sensitive. The quick is a vein that
“feeds” the toenail. Should you cut the quick while trimming a nail,
the nail will start to bleed.
Light colored nails are often transparent enough to allow you to see
the quick’s pink core. Dark colored nails may not allow you to see
where the quick is located. Pets may have both light and dark colored
nails that allow you to estimate the length of the quick.
The diagram also shows an estimate of the proper angle at which to
trim a pet’s nails. A rule of thumb for the proper angle is 45 degrees
upwards from the bottom of the paw. The proper angle may vary according to the pet owner’s wishes or the pet’s unique anatomy. Trim
nails so that they almost touch the ground when your pet is walking.

Operating Instructions
The Nail Grooming Process
Use only “golf grip” or “hand grip” method of holding the tool. Never hold the
tool by the attachment. Holding the tool by the attachment
could cause it to unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control
(Fig.9).

Place the pet’s paw 4 on the ramp 1 so that the nail 3 is close
to - but not touching - the sanding disc 2 (Fig.10).

Operating Instructions
Set the speed of your rotary tool to match the ‘Operating Speeds’
chart. Support the toe and nail in one hand while using the rotary
tool in the other hand. This is more comfortable for your pet as it
lessens vibration on the paw. Pushing gently on the bottom of the
paw’s pad extends the nail slightly for easier grooming.
It is important to let the speed of the rotary tool do the work;
never apply pressure to the toenail with the spinning sanding
disc. Pressure may cause the nail to grow too hot, resulting in
discomfort for your pet. The rotary tool’s spinning sanding disc
should not be kept against the nail longer than three seconds at
a time. Instead of focusing on completing one nail at a time, it is
recommended to briefly trim each nail on one paw, and then the
other, in several passes. This allows time for the nails to cool. You
may repeat this process as needed. Trim nails so that they almost
touch the ground when your pet is walking.

Pet Safety Tips
Some pets may become nervous in the presence of the tool so it
is best to secure your pet. The operator will need both hands to
groom the nails so it may be helpful to have another person assist
in restraining your pet.
Cleaning the Pet Grooming Attachment
Remove the pet grooming attachment from the rotary tool as
needed to clean out any nail dust or debris. Wash only the attachment with warm water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth
before reinstalling on rotary tool.
If hair is accidentally caught in the rotary tool, immediately turn
off the tool and untangle the hair from the tool. For pets with particularly long hair, use an old sock to cover the toe, foot, and leg
of the pet and isolate the nail. Push the nail out through a small
opening at the tip of the sock to groom the nail. Keep styptic
powder on hand in case of bleeding. Styptic powder is available
at most pet supplies stores. Follow the directions on the packaging for proper use instructions.
