Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot 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 dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or inding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by pooriy maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cuttng tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g. Use the power tool, access 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 a. 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 GRINDING,

SANDING, WIRE BRUSHING, POLISHING, CARVING OR

ABRASIVE CUTTING-OFF OPERATIONS

a. This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush, polisher, carving or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with t power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fre and/or serious injury. b. Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Jus because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. c._ The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Grinding accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fy 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 controlled. e. The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool wil run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control. f._ Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet or chuck. the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity. g. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. # 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. h.. 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 fying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of fitrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss. i… 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 could give the operator an electric shock. k. Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.

1. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever

practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. # you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory. n.. 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 ©. After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shifl, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violentiy thrown. p._ Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, puling the accessory into your body. a. Regularlÿ 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. r.… Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. s._ Do not use accessories that req d 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, sanding band, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in tum causes the

uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction £._ Do not restart the cutting operation in the opposite of the accessory's rotation. workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material workpiece. causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.

Abrasive wheels may also break under these Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the conditions. line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both 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. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken. Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Comers, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed. When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed eutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usualy breaks. When a rotary fil, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.

SAFETY WARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING AND

Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter. For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels wil reduce the possibility of breakage. Do not “jam” a 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 snagging of the wheel in the cut and the possibilty of kickback or wheel breakage. Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool direct at you. When wheel is pinched, snagged 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 pinching or snagging.

sides of the wheel. h. 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 WIRE BRUSHING

OPERATIONS a. Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin. . Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using them. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time. c. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin. Do not exceed 15,000 RPM when using wire brushes.

removing grout from between wall and floor tlles. SEE PAGE 11

6. Use the Line & Circle Cutter (678) to make perfect

holes and straight cuts. SEE PAGE 12.

7. Use the Right Angle Attachment (575) to use

accessories in right angle for hard to reach places. SEE PAGE 13.

8. Use the Comfort Guard Attachment to protect you from

dust and sparks. SEE PAGE 14. USE The first step in using the multitoo! 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 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 first to see how the tools high-speed action performs. Keep in mind that your mulitool 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 lightiy 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 litle pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work. Usuall it is better to make a series of passes with the tool rather than to do the entire job with one pass. À gentle touch gives the best control and reduces the chance of error.

For best control in close work, grip the mulitool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger. PICTURE 13 The “golf grip method is used for heavier operations such 8 grinding or cutting. PICTURE 14 OPERATING SPEEDS To select the right speed for each job, use a practice piece of material.

• Do not exceed 15,000 RPM when using wire brushes. Refer to the Speed Settings chart on pages 4-7 to help determine the proper speed for the material being worked on and the accessory to use 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. AÏ 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 driling, carving, cutting, routing and shaping Some guidelines regarding tool speed + Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures should be cut at low seeds. + 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 + a high speed steel cutter starts to vibrate, it usually indicates that i is running too slowiy. + 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 paratin (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 proper. Try a different accessory or speed setting to achieve the desired result.
