SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS

SAFETY WARNINGS THAT ARE COMMON FOR GRINDING, SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING, POLISHING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS

a. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher 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.
b. 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.
c. 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 fly apart.
d. 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.
e. The arbour size of wheels, fl anges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fi t the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
f. 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 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 normally break apart during this test time.
g. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop 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.
h. 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.
i. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.
j. 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.

k. 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.
I. 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.
m. 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.
n. Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
o. Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
p. Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic).
q. Take protective measures when during work dust can develop that is harmful to one's health, combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with dust/ chip extraction when connectable.

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 fi rm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to 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 reactions 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 create frequent kickback and loss of control.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS

a. Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b. Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
c. Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
d. Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS

a. Do not "jam" the 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 binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b. Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
c. When wheel is binding 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 binding.
d. Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e. 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.
f. 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 SANDING OPERATIONS

a. When sanding, 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

a. 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.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR WIRE BRUSHING OPERATIONS

a. 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.
b. If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPOSAL

The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.

ONLY FOR EC COUNTRIES

Do not dispose of power tools into household waste! According to the European Guideline 2002/96/EC for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally correct manner.

GETTING STARTED

USE

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. The unique softgrip on the nose allows for added comfort and control during use.

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.

IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material fi rst 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.

For best control in close work, grip the multitool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger. PICTURE 7

The "golf" grip method is used for heavier operations such as grinding or cutting. PICTURE 8

OPERATING SPEEDS

This tool is a high speed multitool. Its speeds vary from 10.000 to 33.000 RPM. Adjusting the no. of RPM to your project will give

a better end result. To achieve the best results when working with different materials, set the variable speed control to suit the job. To select the right speed for the accessory in use, practice with scrap material fi rst.

NOTE: Speed is affected by voltage changes. A reduced incoming voltage will slow the RPM of the tool, especially at the lowest setting. If your tool appears to be running slowly, increase the speed setting accordingly. The tool may not start at the lowest switch setting in areas where outlet voltage is less than 220 volts. Simply move the speed setting to a higher position to begin operation.

The 300 Series multitool switch settings are marked on the speed control switch. Refer to the Speed Settings chart on pages 4-6 to help determine the proper speed for the material being worked on and the accessory to use.

A) For use on dry wall. For best results use at 33.000 RPM.
B) For use on wall and floor grout. Use setting 6-8.
*) Speed for light cuts. Caution, burning on deep grooves possible.
☐) Depending on cutting direction relative to grain.

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, shaping and cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood. The settings for approximate RPM's are:

Switch Setting Speed Range

1-2	10,000-14,000	RPM
3-4	15,000-19,000	RPM
5-6	20,000-24,000	RPM
7-8	25,000-29,000	RPM
9-10	30,000-33,000	RPM

Some guidelines regarding tool speed:

• Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
• Polishing, buffi ng and cleaning with a wire brush must be done at speeds not 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 slow.
• 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.

MAINTENANCE

Preventative maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Dremel Service Facility. To avoid injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, always remove plug from wall outlet before performing service or cleaning.

CARBON BRUSHES

The brushes in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To prepare the brushes for use, run the tool at full speed for 5 minutes under no load. This will properly "seat" the brushes, and extend the life of the tool. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, examine the brushes for wear every 40-50 hours.

Using the tool with worn brushes will permanently damage the motor. Use only original Dremel replacement brushes.' Inspect the multitool brushes after 40-50 hours of use. If the multitool runs erratically, loses power, or makes unusual noises check the brushes for wear and possible replacement. Follow these steps to check/change the multitool brushes:

1. With the power cord unplugged, place the tool on a clean surface. Use the tool wrench as a screwdriver to remove the brush caps. PICTURE 9
2. Remove the brushes from the tool by pulling on the spring that is attached to the carbon brush. If the brush is less than 3mm long and the surface of the brush that touches the commutator is rough or pitted, the carbon brushes should be replaced. Be sure to check both brushes. PICTURE 10
3. If one brush is worn, you should replace both brushes for better performance of your multitool. Remove the spring from the brush, throw away the old brush and place the spring on a new brush.
4. Place the carbon brush and spring back into the tool, there is only one way the brush will fit back into the tool.
5. Replace the brush caps onto the tool by turning the cap in a clockwise direction. To tighten, use the wrench, but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! After replacing the brushes the tool should be run at no load; place it on a clean surface and run it freely at full speed for 5 minutes before loading (or using) the tool. This will allow the brushes to "seat" properly and will give you more hours of life from each set of brushes. This will also extend the life of your tool since the commutator surface will also wear better and longer.

CLEANING THE TOOL

DISCONNECT THE PLUG BEFORE CLEANING

Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.

The tool may be cleaned with compressed air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tool with compressed air.

There is no need to lubricate the Dremel multitool.

Certain cleaning agents and solvents will damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

Clean the "soft grip" areas of the tool using a damp cloth.

Tougher soiled areas may require more than one wipe application to get clean.
