perform best by allowing the speed, along with
the correct accessory, do the work for you. Be
careful not to apply too much pressure.
Instead, lower the oscillating 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. To make a cut, for example,
pass the tool back and forth over the work. Cut
a little material on each pass until you reach
the desired depth.
SLIDE "ON/OFF" SWITCH
The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch
located on the topside of the motor housing.
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON", slide the switch
button forward.
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF", slide the switch
button backward.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL DIAL

This tool is equipped with a variable speed
control dial (Fig. 6). The speed may be
controlled during operation by presetting the
dial in any one of ten positions.

OPERATING SPEEDS

The Dremel Velocity™ consists of an AC
universal motor and oscillating mechanism to
perform applications such as cutting, grout
removal, scraping, sanding and more.
The Dremel Velocity™ has a high oscillating
motion of 10,000 - 16,000 /min (OPM). The
high speed motion allows the Dremel
Velocity™ to achieve with excellent results.
The oscillating motion allows the dust to fall
to the surface rather than slinging particles
into the air.
To achieve the best results when working
with different materials, set the variable
speed control to suit the job (See Speed
Chart on Page 12 and 13 for guidance) . To
select the right speed for the accessory in
use, practice with scrap material first.
NOTE: Speed is affected by voltages
changes. A reduced incoming voltage will
slow the OPM 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 120 volts. Simply move
the speed setting to a higher position to
begin operation.
The variable speed control settings are
marked on the speed control dial. The
settings for approximate /min (OPM) are:

You can refer to the charts on the following
pages to determine the proper speed, based
on the material and accessory being used.
These charts enable you to select both the
correct accessory and the optimum speed at a
glance.
