GENERAL
The Dremel multitool is a high quality precision tool that can be
used to perform detailed and intricate tasks. The wide range of
Dremel accessories and attachments allow you to perform a large
variety of tasks. These include tasks such as sanding, carving and
engraving and routing, cutting, cleaning and polishing. PICTURE 2

The Dremel accessories available for the multitool come
with various shank sizes. Four size collets are available to
accommodate the different shank sizes. Collet sizes are identifi ed
by the rings on the back of the collet.

NOTE: Some multitool kits may not include all four collet sizes.
Collets are available separately.
Always use the collet which matches the shank size of the accessory
you plan to use. Do not force a larger diameter shank into a smaller
collet.

GETTING STARTED

The fi rst 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.
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.
HOLDING THE TOOL
For best control in close work, grip the multitool like a pencil
between your thumb and forefi nger. PICTURE 6
The "golf" grip method is used for heavier operations such as
grinding or cutting. PICTURE 7
