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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching

outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

1600A018W0AA 02-18 PC10.qxp_Layout 1 2/7/18 7:28 AM Page 2

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 in-

crease 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 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.

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 can-

not 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 dan-

gerous 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 acci-

dents 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 different from those in­tended could result in a hazardous situation.

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

Sanding or Polishing Operations

This power tool is intended to function as a
sander or polisher. 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.

Operations such as grinding, wire brushing,
or cutting-off are not recommended to be
performed with this power tool.Operations for

which the power tool was not designed may cre­ate a hazard and cause personal 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 maximum speed 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 ac-

cessories cannot be adequately guarded or con­trolled.

Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For acces­sories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole
of the accessory must fit the locating diame­ter of the flange.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.

Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back­ing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire
brush for loose or cracked wires. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for

1600A018W0AA 02-18 PC10.qxp_Layout 1 2/7/18 7:28 AM Page 4

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 maximum no-load speed
for one minute. Damaged accessories will nor-

mally 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.

Never lay the power tool down until the ac­cessory has come to a complete stop. The

spinning accessory may grab the surface and
pull the power tool out of your control.

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.

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 at the point of the binding.

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 kick out. 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.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and
position your body and arm to allow you to

1600A018W0AA 02-18 PC10.qxp_Layout 1 2/7/18 7:28 AM Page 5

resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control
over kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. The operator can control torque reac-

tions or kickback forces, if proper precautions
are taken.

b) Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory. Accessory may kickback over your

hand.

c) Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback oc­curs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction

opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point
of snagging.

d) Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snag­ging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or

bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating
accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades cre-

ate frequent kickback and loss of control.

Safety Warnings Specific for

Sanding Operations

Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers recom­mendations, when selecting sanding paper.

Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kick­back.

Safety Warnings Specific for

Polishing Operations

Do not allow any loose portion of the polish­ing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin
freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attach­ment strings. Loose and spinning attachment

strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the
workpiece.

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.

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.

HIGH SPEED

The tool runs at 2200 RPM max, making it the
fastest powered cleaning tool in the market.
The higher speed allows for faster and more
aggressive cleaning/removal, which helps elim­inate much of the manual effort typically re­quired for the user applications. Standard
powered cleaners spin around 300/min with
low-speed, high torque. These tools still require
extensive manual effort for cleaning applica­tions. The Dremel Versa is the opposite – a
high-speed, low torque tool. The difference to
the user is that with the Dremel high-speed tool,
the speed combined with the accessory does
the work for you, without having to apply heavy
pressure. Simply hold the tool and guide it.

POWERFUL LITHIUM-ION

BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

Power is another great benefit you will experi­ence while working with the Dremel Versa. The
combination of a compact and highly efficient
DC motor, smaller Lithium-ion battery cells and
smart electronics allow for tough applications.
Utilizing the cutting edge Lithium Technology

batteries benefits the user by giving them
greater consistency of power through a single
charge. It will not slowly loose performance dur­ing use (like with AA batteries or NiCad).
Recharging is fast and easy with the micro USB
charger. You will not have to constantly replace
batteries. The charge time is also extremely
short (~2hr charge time, when charged with the
provided Dremel 510 1Amp USB power
adapter) so the tool can be ready when you
need it.

VERSATILE

There will be 4 different accessory attach­ments: foam eraser pad, non-scratch scrub
pad, abrasive heavy-duty scrub pad, and nylon
bristle brush. These 4 accessories allow the
tool to be used on multiple surfaces to remove
dirt/build-up/material. The different levels of
abrasiveness of the pads and brush give the
user the ability to complete a wide spectrum of
applications. The hook-and-loop attachment
system allows the user to quickly change be­tween the different accessories. The accessory
change mechanism is tool-less for ease-of-use

The Dremel Versa is designed to work with
spray, foam, gel, or liquid cleaners. Before
using cleaning solutions please read and follow
manufacturer’s warnings and instructions for
use. Cover the surrounding area that you are
cleaning to protect from spray. Use splash
guard on open surfaces to contain spray. Rec­ommended to apply water and cleaning agent
to the surface that needs cleaning and/or to the
accessory directly. If applying water or cleaning
agent directly on accessory, shake excess liq­uid off or “pulse” the tool by quickly turning it
“on” and then “off” in a contained areas (i.e.
bucket or sink) to reduce spray.

To start cleaning, press and release the On/Off
button (Fig. 1) while the accessory is in contact
with the surface to be cleaned. The tool will
come up to speed quickly. Gently press to the
surface to be cleaned, do not press too hard,
let the tool do the work.

To turn the tool off, press and release the on/off
button.

The kit includes a backing pad, splash guard,
and 4 different accessories. Spot-test a small
section of the surface that you intend to clean
for acceptability before cleaning entire job.

SPLASH GUARD

It is recommended to use the splash guard for
all wet cleaning applications. Keep splash
guard in the “extended” position while tool is
running to contain the spray of water and clean­ing solutions.

To get into tighter spaces, the splash guard can
be retracted into the “up” position.

To remove the splash guard entirely, turn the
tool off, unscrew the backing pad (counter­clockwise when looking at the bottom of the
tool), then twist the splash guard a quarter turn
to remove. Screw the backing pad back on.

WHITE FOAM ERASER PAD

Multipurpose pad recommended for use on hard
surfaces, such as countertops, glass, floors, base­boards, doors, walls, shoes, and non-stainless steel
appliances. Due to the micro-abrasive technology,
the pad will help to remove stains without using an
abrasive cleaner; however, if the surface being
cleaned is not sufficiently hard, it may be finely
scratched by the material. Test small area with light
pressure before use. Not recommended for the

following surfaces: Wood with high gloss, pol­ish, brushed, satin, Faux, or bare; copper; stain­less steel; non-stick coating or vehicle body.

BLUE MICROFIBER NON-SCRATCH PAD

Recommended for tough jobs without scratch­ing. Good for use on pots and pans, grill exte­rior, sink, stove top and stove grates, kitchen
appliances, and outdoor tools/equipment.

BROWN ABRASIVE HEAVY-DUTY PAD

Abrasive pad has embedded grit for jobs that
require more aggressive cleaning and removal,
such as metal prep, lawn furniture, paint re­moval, uncoated cookware and more. It quickly
cuts through and removes tough stuck-on
messes.

BLACK NYLON BRISTLE BRUSH

Use for tough scrubbing applications, such as:
grout, tire rims, sinks, fixtures, equipment, patio
furniture, and various other surfaces in your
bathroom and kitchen. Durable nylon bristles are
angled to allow you to get into corners better.

510 2 HOUR CHARGER

Your Dremel Versa does not come completely
charged from the factory. Be sure to charge tool
prior to initial use.

To charge: plug the USB cord into the tool and
power adapter, then insert the power adapter
plug into a standard power outlet. The blue LED
light located on the tool housing below the USB

outlet will turn on to signal the battery is receiv­ing a charge. When the tool is fully charged (ap­prox 2 Hrs.), charging will automatically stop
and the blue LED light will turn off.

When the battery is dead, the tool will automat­ically turn off. This will be a sudden stop as op­posed to a gradual winding down of the tool.
Simply recharge the tool and reuse.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. The charger was designed to charge the tool

only when the battery temperature is be­tween 32˚F (0˚C) and 113˚F (45˚C). If the tool
is too hot or too cold, the charger will not
charge the tool. (This may happen if the tool
is hot from heavy use). When the tool tem­perature returns to between 32˚F (0˚C) and
113˚F (45˚C), the charger will automatically
begin charging.

2. A substantial drop in operating time per

charge may mean that the tool is nearing the
end of its life.

3. Remember to unplug the power adapter

during storage period.

4. If tool does not charge properly:
a. Try plugging in some other electrical de-

vice into the outlet.

b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a

light switch which turns power “off” when
lights are turned off.

c. Check charging base and power supply

terminals for dirt. Disconnect form outlet
and clean with cotton swab and alcohol if
necessary.

d. If the tool still is not charging properly, lo-

cate the nearest Dremel Service Center
and have the tool inspected.

Note: Use of power supply not sold by Dremel
will void the warranty.
