Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions list-ed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREAKeep your work area clean and well lit.Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci-dents.
Do not operate power tools in explosiveatmospheres, such as in the presence offlammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powertools create sparks which may ignite the dustor fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitorsaway while operating a power tool.Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical SafetyDouble Insulated tools are equipped witha polarized plug (one blade is wider thanthe other.) This plug will fit in a polarizedoutlet only one way. If the plug does notfit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If itstill does not fit, contact a qualified elec-trician to install a polarized outlet. Do notchange the plug in any way. DoubleInsulation eliminates the need for the threewire grounded power cord and groundedpower supply system. Before plugging in thetool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied iswithin the voltage marked on the nameplate.Do not use “AC only” rated tools with a DCpower supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded sur-faces such as pipes, radiators, rangesand refrigerators. There is an increased riskof electric shock if your body is grounded. Ifoperating the power tool in damp locations isunavoidable, a Ground Fault CircuitInterrupter must be used to supply the powerto your tool. Electrician’s rubber gloves andfootwear will further enhance your personalsafety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wetconditions. Water entering a power tool willincrease the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cordto carry the tools or pull the plug from anoutlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,sharp edges or moving parts. Replacedamaged cords immediately. Damagedcords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, usean outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"or "W." These cords are rated for outdooruse and reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal SafetyStay alert, watch what you are doing anduse common sense when operating apower tool. Do not use tool while tired orunder the influence of drugs, alcohol, ormedication. A moment of inattention whileoperating power tools may result in seriouspersonal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keepyour hair, clothing, and gloves away frommoving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, orlong hair can be caught in moving parts.Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil andgrease.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switchis “OFF” before plugging in. Carrying toolswith your finger on the switch or plugging intools that have the switch “ON” invites acci-dents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenchesbefore turning the tool ON. A wrench or akey that is left attached to a rotating part ofthe tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footingand balance at all times. Proper footing andbalance enables better control of the tool inunexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eyeprotection. Dust mask, non-skid safetyshoes, hard hat, or hearing protection mustbe used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and CareUse clamps or other practical way tosecure and support the workpiece to astable platform. Holding the work by handor against your body is unstable and maylead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool foryour application. The correct tool will do thejob better and safer at the rate for which it isdesigned.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn itON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be con-trolled with the switch is dangerous and mustbe repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the powersource before making any adjustments,changing accessories, or storing the tool.Such preventive safety measures reduce therisk of starting the tool accidentally.
WARNING!
POWER TOOL SAFETY RULES
3
Store idle tools out of reach of childrenand other untrained persons. Tools aredangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cuttingtools sharp and clean. Properly main-tained tools, with sharp cutting edges areless likely to bind and are easier to control.Any alteration or modification is a misuseand may result in a dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding ofmoving parts, breakage of parts, and anyother condition that may affect the toolsoperation. If damaged, have the toolserviced before using. Many accidentsare caused by poorly maintained tools.Develop a periodic maintenance schedulefor your tool.
Use only accessories that are recom-mended by the manufacturer for yourmodel. Accessories that may be suitable forone tool, may become hazardous whenused on another tool.
ServiceTool service must be performed only byqualified repair personnel. Service ormaintenance performed by unqualified per-sonnel could result in a risk of injury. Forexample: internal wires may be misplacedor pinched, safety guard return springs maybe improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identicalreplacement parts. Follow instructions inthe Maintenance section of this manual.Use of unauthorized parts or failure to followMaintenance Instructions may create a riskof electric shock or injury. Certain cleaningagents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachlo-ride, ammonia, etc. may damage plasticparts.
SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL
Accessories must be rated for at least thespeed recommended on the tool warninglabel. Wheels and other accessories run-ning over rated speed can fly apart andcause injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaceswhen performing an operation where thecutting tool may contact hidden wiring orits own cord. Contact with a "live" wire willmake exposed metal parts of the tool "live"and shock the operator. If cutting into existingwalls or other blind areas where electricalwiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnectall fuses or circuit breakers feeding this work-site.
Do not operate the flexible shaft with asharp bend. Over bending the shaft cangenerate excessive heat on the jacket orhand piece. The recommended minimum is6" radius.
Always disconnect the power cord fromthe power source before making anyadjustments or attaching any acces-sories. You may unexpectedly cause the toolto start leading to serious personal injury.
Be aware of the switch location, whenplacing the tool down or when picking thetool up. You may accidentally activate theswitch.
Always hold the hand piece firmly in yourhands during the start-up. The reactiontorque of the motor, as it accelerates to fullspeed, can cause the shaft to twist.
Always wear safety goggles and dustmask. Use only in well ventilated area.Using personal safety devices and working insafe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making anyadjustments, make sure the collet nut andany other adjustment devices are secure-ly tightened. Loose adjustment device canunexpectedly shift, causing loss of control,loose rotating components will be violentlythrown.
Do not reach in the area of the spinningbit. The proximity of the spinning bit to yourhand may not always be obvious.
Allow brushes to run at operating speedfor at least one minute before usingwheel. During this time no one is to standin front or in line with the brush. Loosebristles or wires will be discharged during therun-in time.
Wire and bristle brushes must never beoperated at speeds greater than15,000/min. Direct the discharge of thespinning wire brush away from you.Small particles and tiny wire fragments maybe discharged at high velocity during the“cleaning” action with these brushes and maybecome imbedded in your skin. Bristles orwires will be discharged from the brush athigh speeds.
Carefully handle both the tool and individ-ual grinding wheels to avoid chipping orcracking. Install a new wheel if tool is

SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL (CONTINUED)
dropped while grinding. Do not use awheel that may be damaged. Fragmentsfrom a wheel that bursts during operation willfly away at great velocity possibly striking youor bystanders.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharpbits must be handled with care. Damagedbits can snap during use. Dull bits requiremore force to push the tool, possibly causingthe bit to break.
Use clamps to support workpiece when-ever practical. Never hold a small work-piece in one hand and the tool in the otherhand while in use. Allow for sufficientspace, at least 6", between your hand andthe spinning bit. Round material such asdowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendencyto roll while being cut, and may cause the bitto “bite” or jump toward you. Clamping asmall workpiece allows you to use bothhands to control the tool.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting.When cutting irregularly shaped work-pieces, plan your work so it will not slipand pinch the bit and be torn from yourhand. For example, if carving wood, makesure there are no nails or foreign objects inthe workpiece. Nails or foreign objects cancause the bit to jump.
Never start the tool when the bit isengaged in the material. The bit cuttingedge may grab the material causing loss ofcontrol of the cutter.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel,especially when working corners, sharpedges etc. This can cause loss of controland kick-back.
The direction of feed with the bit into thematerial when carving, routing or cuttingis very important. Always feed the bit intothe material in the same direction as thecutting edge is exiting from the material(which is the same direction as the chipsare thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrongdirection, causes the cutting edge of the bit toclimb out of the work and pull the tool in thedirection of this feed.
If the workpiece or bit becomes jammedor bogged down, turn the tool “OFF” bythe switch. Wait for all moving parts tostop and unplug the tool, then work tofree the jammed material. If the switch tothe tool is left “ON” the tool could restartunexpectedly causing serious personalinjury.
Do not leave a running tool unattended,turn power off. Only when tool comes to a
complete stop it is safe to put it down.
Do not grind or sand near flammablematerials. Sparks from the wheel couldignite these materials.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use.After use the bit and collet are too hot to betouched by bare hands.
Regularly clean the tool's air vents withcompressed air. Excessive accumulation ofpowdered metal inside the motor housingmay cause electrical failures.
Do not allow familiarity gained from fre-quent use of your rotary tool to becomecommonplace. Always remember that acareless fraction of a second is sufficient toinflict severe injury.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alterationor modification is a misuse and may result inserious personal injury.
This product is not intended for use as adental drill, in human or veterinary med-ical applications. Serious injury may result.
When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels,high speed cutters or tungsten carbidecutters, always have the work securelyclamped. Never attempt to hold the workwith one hand while using any of theseaccessories. The reason is that thesewheels will grab if they become slightly cant-ed in the groove, and can kickback causingloss of control resulting in serious injury. Yoursecond hand should be used to steady andguide the hand holding the tool. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usuallybreaks. When the steel saw, high speed cut-ters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it mayjump from the groove and you could losecontrol of the tool.
Some dust created bypower drilling and other
construction activities, contains chemi-cals known to cause cancer, birth defectsor other reproductive harm. Some exam-ples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cementand other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,depending on how often you do this type ofwork. To reduce your exposure to thesechemicals, work in a well ventilated area, andwork with approved safety equipment, suchas those dust masks that are speciallydesigned to filter out microscopic particles.

OPERATION
ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
Learning To Use the Rotary ToolGetting the most out of your rotary tool is amatter of learning how to let the speed andthe feel of the tool in your hands work for you.
The first step in learn-ing to use the rotarytool is to get the “feel”of it. Hold it in yourhand and feel itsweight and balance.Feel the taper of the
housing. This taper permits the tool to begrasped much like a pen or pencil. Theunique comfort grip on the nose allows foradded comfort and control during use.
Always hold the toolaway from your face.
Accessories can be damaged duringhandling and can fly apart as they comeup to speed. This is not common, but itdoes happen.
When holding tool, do notcover the air vents with
your hand. Blocking the air vents couldcause the motor to overheat.
IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material firstto see how the tool’s high-speed action per-forms. Keep in mind that your rotary tool willperform best by allowing the speed, alongwith the correct Dremel™ accessory andattachment, do the work for you. Do not putpressure on the tool during use, if possible.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightlyto the work surface and allow it to touch thepoint at which you want to begin.Concentrate on guiding the tool over thework using very little pressure from yourhand. Allow the accessory to do the work.
WARNING!
CAUTION!
Usually it is better to make a series of pass-es with the tool rather than to do the entirejob with one pass. A gentle touch gives thebest control and reduces the chance forerror.

For best control in close work, grip the rotarytool like a pencil between your thumb andforefinger.
The “golf” grip method is used for more aggres-sive operations such as grinding or cutting.
Keyless ChuckThe keyless chuck is used in place of the stan-dard collet and collet nut to easily and quicklyremove and install some accessories.
The keyless chuck holds various accessorieswith shank sizes 1/32" to 1/8" and is intendedfor light duty accessories such as drill bits,sanding drums, polishing accessories, wireand bristle brushes and cut-off wheels.
1. See steps 1—3, Changing Collets onpage 7 to install the keyless chuck.
2. Thread the keyless chuck onto the rotarytool shank.
3. Use the supplied wrench to complete-ly tighten the keyless chuck if you areunable to apply sufficient tighteningpressure to hold the bit or accessory.

OPERATION (CONTINUED)
Operating SpeedsTo achieve the best results when workingwith different materials, set the variablespeed control to suit the job. To select theright speed for the accessory in use, practicewith scrap material first.
NOTE: Speed is affected by voltage changes. Areduced incoming voltage will slow the RPM of thetool, especially at the lowest setting. If your toolappears to be running slowly, increase the speedsetting accordingly. The tool may not start at thelowest switch setting in areas where outlet voltageis less than 120 volts. Simply move the speed set-ting to a higher position to begin operation.
The 400 Series XPR Rotary Tool switch set-tings are marked on the speed control dial.Refer to the Speed Settings chart on pages11 thru 13 to help determine the properspeed for the material being worked on andthe accessory to use.
Most jobs can be accomplished using thetool at the highest setting. However, certainmaterials (some plastics and metals) can bedamaged by high-speed generated heat andshould be worked on at relatively slowspeeds.
Slow speed operation (15,000 RPM or less)is usually best for polishing operationsemploying the felt polishing accessories, del-icate wood carving and fragile model parts.All brushing applications require lowerspeeds to avoid wire discharge from theholder. Let the performance of the tool do thework for you when using lower speed set-tings.
Higher speeds are better for drilling, carving,cutting, routing, shaping, cutting dadoes orrabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals andglass require high speed operation also.
The settings for approximate RPM’s are:
Switch Setting Speed Range RPM
2 5,000-8,000
4 9,000-11,000
6 12,000-17,000
8 18,000-24,000
10 25,000-35,000
Some guidelines regarding tool speed:
• There is no accessory for the DremelRotary tool that will drill or cut glass.
• Plastic and other materials that melt at lowtemperatures should be cut at low speeds.
• Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wirebrush must be done at speeds not greaterthan 15,000 RPM to prevent damage to thebrush 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 tooslow.
• Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zincalloys and tin may be cut at variousspeeds, depending on the type of cuttingbeing done. Use a paraffin (not water) orother suitable lubricant on the cutter to pre-vent the cut material from adhering to thecutter teeth.
NOTE: Increasing pressure on the tool is notthe answer when it is not performing proper-ly. Try a different accessory or speed settingto achieve the desired result. Please refer tothe following Speed Setting charts or simplycontact Dremel Consumer Service at:
1-800-437-3635or at www.Dremel.com.
Set the Speed Control to the desired setting.

MAINTENANCE
Preventative maintenanceperformed by unautho-
rized personnel may result in misplacingof internal wires and components whichcould cause serious hazard. We recom-mend that all tool service be performedby a Dremel™ Service Facility.
To avoid injury from unex-pected starting or electri-
cal shock, always remove plug from walloutlet before performing service or clean-ing.
Carbon BrushesThe brushes in your tool have been engi-neered for many hours of dependable serv-ice.
To prepare the brushes for use, run the toolat full speed for 5 minutes under no load.This will properly “seat” the brushes, andextend the life of the tool.
To maintain peak efficiency of the motor,examine the brushes for wear every 40-50hours.
Using the tool with wornbrushes will permanently
damage the motor.
Use only original Dremel™ replacementbrushes.’
Inspect the rotary tool brushes after 40-50hours of use. If the rotary tool runs erratical-ly, loses power, or makes unusual noisescheck the brushes for wear and possiblereplacement. Remember: brushes in therotary tool are similar to oil in a car; the moreyou check/service, the better the perform-ance.
Follow these steps to check/change therotary tool brushes.
1. With the power cord unplugged, placethe tool on a clean surface. Use the toolwrench to pry up and release the clip onthe brush cover (Figure A).
2. Remove the brushes from the tool bypulling the shunt and brass clip whichare attached to the brush (Figure B).
NOTE: Be sure to note how the brass clipslides out of the slot next to the brush pock-et. Also, note how the detent on brass clip fitsinto brush pocket slot, which secures thebrass clip into proper position.
3. Check each brush for wear. If brush isless than 3/8" long, or if contact end isrough or pitted, replace the brush.

Bristle BrushesBristle brushes areused for cleaning tools onsilverware, jewelry and antiques. The threeshapes make it possible to get into tight cor-ners and other difficult spaces. They can beused with polishing compound for fastercleaning or polishing.
CAUTION!
Brushing Pressure•. The tips of a wire brush do the work.
Operate the brush with the lightest pres-sure so only the tips of the wires come incontact with the work surface.
•. If heavier pressure is used, the wires willbecome overstressed, resulting in a wip-ing action. If this continues, the life of thebrush will be shortened by fatigue.
•. Apply the brush to the work surface sothe majority of the brush face makes fullcontact. Applying the edge or side of thebrush to the work surface will result inwire breakage and shortened brush life.
