ATTACHMENTS
The Dremel tool can be equipped with the following
attachments for expanding its functionality:
•
Flexible shaft *) for precise, detailed work or hard-to-
reach places (225 - pages 7-8)
•
Comfort guard attachment to protect you from dust and
sparks (550 - page 9)
•
Multipurpose cutting kit for controlled cutting in a
variety of materials (565/566 - page 10)
•
Wall & floor grout removal kit for removing grout from
between wall and floor tiles (568 - page 11)
•
Right angle attachment to use accessories in right
angle for hard-to-reach places (575 - page 12)
•
Shaping platform to sand and grind at perfect 90° and
45° angles (576 - page 13)
•
Detailer's grip to have even better control of the tool
(577 - page 13)
•
Lawn mower & garden tool sharpener for easy and
quick sharpening at the optimum angle (675 - page 14)
•
Line & circle cutter to make perfect holes and straight
cuts (678 - page 15)
•
'EZ SpeedClic' mandrel for mounting 'EZ SpeedClic'
accessories (page 16)
*) When using a new flexible shaft for the first time, keep it
in a vertical position for two minutes with the tool running
at high speed.
NOTE: Not all attachments listed above are standard
included with the tool/kit
GETTING STARTED
The first step in using the multitool 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.
IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material first to see how
the tool's high-speed action performs. Keep in mind that
your multitool will perform best by allowing the speed,
along with the correct Dremel accessory and attachment,
to do the work for you. Do not put pressure on the
tool during use, if possible. Instead, lower the spinning
accessory lightly to the work surface and allow it to touch
the point at which you want to begin. Concentrate on
guiding the tool over the work using very little pressure
from your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.
Usually it is better to make a series of passes with the tool
rather than to do the entire job with one pass. A gentle touch
gives the best control and reduces the chance of error.
HOLDING THE TOOL
Always hold the tool away from your face. Accessories
can be damaged during handling and can fly apart as
they come up to speed.
When holding tool, do not cover the ventilation
openings with your hand. Blocking the ventilation
openings could cause the motor to overheat.
For best control in close work, grip the multitool like a
pencil between your thumb and forefinger.
The "golf" grip method is used for heavier operations such
as grinding or cutting.
A s
ON/OFF
The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch located on
the top side of the motor housing.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON", slide the switch button forward.
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF", slide the switch button backward.
USE
A a
ELECTRONIC MONITORING
Your tool is equipped with an internal electronic monitoring
system that provides a "soft start", which will reduce the
stresses that occur from a high torque start. The system
also helps to maximize motor and battery performance by
cutting the voltage to the tool when stall conditions (see
section "Stall Protection") occur. The motor and battery
pack are protected by cutting back the voltage to the motor
in these situations.
VARIABLE SPEED SLIDE SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed slide switch.
The speed may be adjusted during operation by sliding the
switch back or forth between any one of the settings.
To select the right speed for each job, use a practice
piece of material.
OPERATING SPEEDS
Refer to the chart on pages 17-18 to help determine the
proper speed for the material being worked on and the
accessory to use.
Do not exceed 15,000 rpm when using wire brushes.
Most jobs can be accomplished using the tool at the highest
setting. However, certain materials (some plastics and
metals) can be damaged by high-speed generated heat and
should be worked on at relatively low speeds. Low speed
operation (15,000 rpm or less) is usually best for polishing
operations employing the felt polishing accessories. All
brushing applications require lower speeds to avoid wire
discharge from the holder. Let the performance of the tool
do the work for you when using lower speed settings. Higher
speeds are better for hardwoods, metals and glass and for
drilling, carving, cutting, routing and shaping.
Some guidelines regarding tool speed:
•
Plastic and other materials that melt at low
temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
•
Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wire brush must
be done at speeds no greater than 15,000 rpm to
prevent damage to the brush and your material.
•
Wood should be cut at high speed.
•
Iron or steel should be cut at high speed.
•
If a high speed steel cutter starts to vibrate, it usually
indicates that it is running too slowly.
•
Aluminium, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys and
tin may be cut at various speeds, depending on the
type of cutting being done. Use a paraffin (not water)
or other suitable lubricant on the cutter to prevent the
cut material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
NOTE: Increasing pressure on the tool is not the answer
when it is not performing properly. Try a different accessory
or speed setting to achieve the desired result.
STALL PROTECTION
This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to protect
the motor and battery in the event of a stall. If you put too
much pressure on the tool for too long, or bind the bit in a
work piece, especially at high speeds, the motor will stop.
Simply take the tool out of the material you were stalled in,
and the tool will begin to spin again at the selected speed.
If the tool continues to stall for longer than 5 seconds, the
tool will automatically shut itself off. This additional feature
further protects the motor and the battery from damage.
When the battery becomes close to empty, the tool may
shut down automatically more frequent than normal. If this
happens, it is time to recharge the battery.
