Getting Started - Dremel 8000 Traduction De La Notice Originale

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. 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 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.
For best control in close work, grip the multitool like a pencil
between your thumb and forefinger. PICTURE 6
The "golf" grip method is used for heavier operations such as
grinding or cutting. PICTURE 7
OPERATING SPEEDS
This tool is a high speed multitool. Its speeds vary from 5.000 to
35.000 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 first.
The 10.8V Lithium-Ion 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 drywall. For best results use at 35.000 RPM.
B) For use on wall and floor grout. Use setting 7-8.
*) 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
USE
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:

3-4

7-8
9-10
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 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 turn off powertool
before performing service or cleaning.
CLEANING THE TOOL
TURN OFF TOOL 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.
