CONTROL FOOT
The Dremel Velocity™ includes an integrated
control foot to help with accuracy and control
while making cuts in sheet materials up to 3/4"
thick. The control foot allows you to rest the
tool on the work piece while making rip cuts,
rather than hovering the tool.
To open the control foot, use the finger tabs
on both sides of the control foot to pull the foot
open. As you pull the foot open, you will feel a
click indicating that the foot is fully opened and
ready to use.
To close the control foot, press the control
foot release button on the bottom of your tool
from the body. Never position hand near or
directly in front of working area. Always hold
the tool with both hands and wear protective
gloves.
CUTTING
Saw blades are ideal for making precise cuts
in tight areas, close to edges or flush to a
surface.
Select a medium to high speed for making
initial plunge, start off at medium speed for
increased control. After making your initial cut,
you can increase speed for faster cutting
ability.
Flush cutting blades are
intended to make precise cuts to
allow for installation of flooring or
wall material. When flush cutting
it is important not to force the tool during the
plunge cut. If you experience a strong vibration
in your hand during the plunge cut, this
indicates that you are applying too much
pressure. Back the tool out and let the speed
of the tool do the work. While keeping the teeth
of the blade in the work surface, move the
back of the tool in a slow sideways motion.
This motion will help expedite the cut.
When making a flush cut it is always a good
idea to have a piece of scrap material (tile or
wood) supporting the blade. If you need to rest
the flush cutting blade on a delicate surface,
you should protect the surface with cardboard
or masking tape.
The flat saw blade is ideal for
making precise cuts in wood,
plaster, drywall material.
Applications include cutting openings in flooring
For all accessories, work
with the accessory away
to disengage the foot, allowing you to push the
foot back to the closed position.

for venting, repairing damaged flooring, cutting
openings for electrical boxes. The blade works
best on softer woods such as pine. For harder
woods, the blade life will be limited.
Select a medium to high speed.
The flat saw blade can also be used for
window restoration making glazing easy to
remove. The saw blade can be placed directly
against the edge of the window frame, guiding
the blade through the glazing.
Panel Cutting Accessory
The panel blade has been
designed for making straight
cuts in sheet materials, such as
plywood, drywall and cement
board up to ¾" thick. (Refer to chart for cutting
depths.) For best results, this blade should be
used with the tools control foot in the open
position. This blade has a more rigid design to
help improve accuracy and control when
making these types of cuts. When making
cuts in sheet materials it is important not to
force the tool during the cut. If you experience
strong vibration in your hand during the cut,
this indicates that you are applying too much
pressure. Back the tool out of the cut and let
the speed of the tool do the work.
Pipe and 2x4 Cutting Accessory
The pipe and 2x4 cutting blade
has been designed to cut
through thick materials, such as
a 2x4, as well as tubing, such as
conduit, copper and PVC piping. For best
results, this blade should be used with the
tools control foot in the closed position.
