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 us e a ny adapter pl ug s w ith 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.

If operating the power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of

a GFCI reduce the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and us e co mmon s ense when opera ting 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 sw itch is in the off- posit ion befo re connecting to power source and / or battery pa ck, picking up or carryi ng t he t ool.

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

co ntrol of the power to ol in unexpe ct ed 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

ca nn ot be co nt ro lled with the swi tc h is dangerous and must be repaired.

Read all safety warnings and 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.

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.

Ma ny acci de nt s a re ca us ed 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 different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified re pa ir person using o nl y id en ti cal replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Rules for Coping Saw

Hold po wer tool by insulated gripp ing surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or i ts own cord. C utt ing

accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.

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

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

Never leave the switch in "ON" position. Before plugging the tool in, check that the switches are "OFF". Accidental start-ups

could cause injury.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the material being cut.

The proximity of the blade to your hand may be hidden from your sight.

Keep hands away from the space between the gear housing and saw blade holder.

The reciprocating blade holder can pinch your fingers.

Use only Dremel Moto-Saw blades. Use the right blade size, style and cutting speed for the material and the type of cut.

Using the proper blade minimizes the risk of breakage.

Do not use dull or damaged blades. Dull blades can bend and break easily potentially striking the operator.

Before starting to cut, turn tool "ON" and allow the blade to come to full speed. Tool

can chatter or vibrate if blade speed is too slow at beginning of cut and may cause a loss of control.

Make certain all adjusting screws and the blade holder are tight before making a cut. Loose adjusting screws and holders can

cause the tool or blade to slip and loss of control may result.

When removing the blade from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper pr ot ec ti ve gloves when graspin g the blade or accessory. Accessories may be

hot after prolonged use and present a burn hazard.

Safety Rules for the Saw Station

Never leave tool running unattended. Turn power off. Don't leave tool until it comes to a

complete stop.

Never leave the switch in "ON" position. Before plugging the tool in, check that the switches are "OFF". Accidental start-ups

may cause injury.

Av oi d awk wa rd op er at io ns an d h an d positions and always make sure you have good balance. A sudden slip could cause

your hand to move into the blade.

Firmly clamp or bolt your saw station to a stable, level workbench or table. The most

comfortable table height is approximately waist height.

Never stand on tool. Injury may occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.

Before m aking a cut, be s ur e all adjustments are secure. Loose table or

guards could shift in use and cause you to lose control of the workpiece.

Always adjust drop foot to just clear the workpiece. Proper adjustment of the drop

foot will stabilize the workpiece, help protect your fingers, and minimize blade breakage.

Always support large workpieces while cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching and loss of control. A heavy workpiece may

cause the table to slip, walk or slide while cutting.

Be sure the blade path is free of nails.

Inspect for and remove nails from lumber or workpiece before cutting or sanding.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Do not hand-hold pieces so small that your fingers go under the drop foot. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason. Close hand proximity to the blade

may result in blade contact and injury.

Never start the tool when the blade is in contact with the wor kpi ece. Al low the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut. Having the blade in contact

with the workpiece on start up may cause loss of control.

Observe and follow correct direction of feed and do not feed the mat erial too quickly. Hold the work firmly against the table. Feed work into a blade against the

teeth of t he b lade. Feedin g ma terial too forcefully may cause blade to break.

Use caution when cutting materials with an irregular cross-section or rounds like dowel rods. If possible lay the material on its "flat" side when cutting. For r ound stock use a "Vee" block to support the material. Wavy material like mo lding will

tend to rock and may bind whi le cutt ing . Rounds will tend to roll while being cut and the blade may "bite" and grab it from your control.

Do not remove jammed cutoff pieces until blade has stopped. Never touch blade or other moving parts during use. Contacting

the blade or other moving mechanism may cause injury.

Use base only with the Dremel Moto-Saw.

Other tools may not fit and c au se a hazardous condition.

Position vacuum hoses such that you do no t bl ock th e po wer sw itch. You must

maintain clear access to the ON/OFF switch for full control.

When connecting tool to dust collection and extraction systems, be sure these are connected and used according to tool and vacuum instructions. Proper use of dust

collection systems maximizes effectiveness.

When using tool with dust collection and extract io n sys te ms , empty the dust contain er before b eg inning w or k, frequently during work, after completion of work, and before storing the tool. Use

care when disposing dust, materials in fine particle form may be explosive.

Do not throw dust on an open fire. Fine dust particles may burn explosively.

Do not use dust extraction for operations that i nc lude b ur ni ng, s mo king o r smolder in g i te ms like hot ashe s o r sparks. Fire inside the vacuum bag/tank may

occur. Dust may smolder and set vacuum on fire long after work is completed.

DM 2610Z03287 05-13_DM 2610Z03287 05-13.qxp 5/24/13 8:09 AM Page 4

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 cleani ng a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of th e tool since inter nal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return sp rings ma y be impro perly mo unted .

Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, a mmo nia, etc. ma y damage plastic parts.

Operating Instructions

The Moto-Saw is a compact and very easy to use 2-in-1 scroll saw. It can be used either in stationary mode, when the tool is docked in its base or in hand-held mode. This tool is intended to pe rfo rm precise str aig ht and curved cuts in different materials including soft wood, hard wood, composite boards, laminate, PVC or soft sheet metal using the applicable ac ces sor ies recommended by Dremel.

The teeth of this tool only cut on the down stroke. The work must be fed into the saw blade very slowly becau se the teeth are small and can remove only small amounts of material on each stroke. Trying to cut too fast will bend or break the blade.

To get most accurate cuts, compensate for the blades tendency to follow the wood grain as you are cutting.

DM 2610Z03287 05-13_DM 2610Z03287 05-13.qxp 5/24/13 8:09 AM Page 13
