chuck far enough so that there is approximately 6 mm
between the end of the chuck and the beginning of
the working part of the accessory. With the shaft lock
engaged, tighten the chuck using the wrench to secure the
accessory.
HELPFUL TIPS WHEN USING THE DREMEL CHUCK
• The Dremel chuck and the collet and collet nut system
are interchangeable on this tool. While the chuck will
provide you with the best experience for changing
accessories, the collet and collet nut will provide a
more precise accessory holding solution especially in
heavier side load applications.
•
included wrench to tighten the chuck around the bit.
If further slippage persists, switch to using the collet
and collet nut.
• The jaws of the chuck can become displaced causing
the accessory to no longer run true and concentric
(run-out).
1. Remove the accessory from the chuck.
2. Clean the chuck.
3. Press shaft lock button and tighten the chuck until
the jaws extend past the outer surface of the chuck,
approximately 3 mm.

.
5. Continue to hand tighten the chuck until the jaws
completely close.
6. Loosen the chuck, and reinsert a straight accessory.
7. Turn the tool by hand and observe if there is any
runout. If there is obvious run-out, repeat the
procedure.
With the shaft lock engaged, tighten the chuck
using the wrench to secure the accessory.
Turn the tool on to the lowest speed setting and
observe for run-out. If there is obvious run-out, check
that the accessory is straight before repeating the
procedure.
BALANCING ACCESSORIES
For precision work, it is important that all accessories
be in good balance (much the same as the tires on your
automobile). To true up or balance an accessory, slightly
loosen chuck or collet nut and give the accessory or collet
a 1/4 turn. Re tighten the chuck or collet nut and run the
rotary tool. You should be able to tell by the sound and feel
if your accessory is running in balance.
Continue adjusting in this fashion until best balance is
achieved.
USE
GETTING STARTED
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 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
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

VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
Aq
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed dial. The speed
may be adjusted during operation by presetting the dial on
or 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 page 7 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.
• Plastic and other materials that melt at low
temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
•
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
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.
