Fast charging is only possible when the temperature range of 
the battery pack is between 0°C and 45°C. 
When needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn on to aid 
the charging process and speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the correct temperature 
range, the battery charger will automatically switch to fast 
charging.
The battery pack may be used even though the light may still 
be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking 
depending on temperature.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the battery 
pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full 
charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery 
pack was not completely discharged. 
If the green indicator light is "ON", the battery pack cannot 
accept a charge.
This Dremel Cordless Multi-Max Tool is intended for dry sanding 
of surfaces, corners, edges, for scraping, for sawing soft metals, 
wood and plastic components, and for grout removal using the 
applicable tools and accessories recommended by Dremel.

INSTALLING AND REMOVING ACCESSORIES

NOTE: Be sure to read the instructions supplied with your Dremel
accessory for further information on its use.
Use only Dremel tested, high performance accessories.
Dremel cutting, scraper blades have a Quick-Fit slot which 
allows for faster accessory removal compared with other 
conventional oscillating tool systems.
1 .  Loosen the clamping screw using the hex key provided 
just enough so you can slide the accessory between the 
accessory holder and the blade washer (Picture 2).

with a clean cloth.
3 .  Place the accessory onto the accessory holder making 
sure the accessory engages all pins in the holder and the 
accessory is flush against the accessory holder.
4 .  Securely tighten the clamping screw with the hex provided 
(Picture 3).

NOTE: Some accessories, such as scrapers or blades, may be
mounted either straight on the tool, or at an angle to enhance
usability (Picture 4).

INSTALLING AND REMOVING SANDING SHEETS
Your backing pad uses hook-and-loop backed accessories, 
which firmly grip the backing pad when applied with moderate 
pressure.
1 .  Align the sanding sheet and press it onto the sanding plate 
by hand.
2 .  Firmly press the power tool with the sanding sheet against 
a flat surface and briefly switch the power tool on. This will 
promote good adhesion and helps to prevent premature 
wear.
3 .  To change, merely peel off the old sanding sheet, remove 
dust from the backing pad if necessary, and press the new 
sanding sheet in place.
After considerable service the backing pad surface will become 
worn, and the backing pad must be replaced when it no longer 
offers a firm grip. If you are experiencing premature wear out 
of the backing pad facing, decrease the amount of pressure you 
are applying during operation of the tool.
For maximum use of abrasive, rotate pad 120 degrees when tip 
of abrasive becomes worn.

DUST ExTRACTION

Your tool can be equipped with a dust port with adaptor for dust 
extraction (Picture 5). To use this feature, attach the dust port to 
the tool (A) and attach vacuum cleaner to the adapter (B).

GETTING STARTED

The first step in learning to use the tool is to get the "feel" of it. 
Hold it in your hand and feel its weight and balance (Picture 6). 
Depending on the application, you will need to adjust your hand 
position to achieve optimum comfort and control.
When holding the tool, do not cover the air vents with your hand. 
Blocking the air vents could cause the motor to overheat.
