Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
WARNING
!
below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Make sure to read and understand the Owner's Manual for your Dremel Rotary Tool
Models 275, 285, 395 & 398.
Safety Rules for Routers
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool "live"
and shock the operator. If cutting into exist-
ing walls or other blind areas where electri-
cal wiring may exist is unavoidable, discon-
nect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this
worksite.
Always make sure the work surface is
free from nails and other foreign objects.
Cutting into a nail can cause the bit and the
tool to jump and damage the bit.
Never hold the workpiece in one hand
and the tool in the other hand when in
use. Never place hands near or below
cutting surface. Clamping the material and
guiding the tool with both hands is safer.
Never place tool with bit protruding
through base on top of bench or work
surface. Lay the tool on its side or retract
the bit before setting on bench or work
surface. Protruding cutting bit may cause
tool to jump.
Always wear safety goggles and dust
mask. Use only in well ventilated area.
Using personal safety devices and working
in safe environment reduces risk of injury.
After changing the bits or making any
adjustments, make sure the collet nut and
any other adjustment devices are secure-
ly tightened. Loose adjustment device can
unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control.
Loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
Never start the tool when the bit is
engaged in the material. The bit cutting
edge may grab the material causing loss of
control of the cutter.

Power Tool Safety Rules

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Always hold the tool with two hands dur-
ing startup.
motor can cause the tool to twist.
The direction of feeding the bit into the
material is very important and it relates to
the direction of bit rotation. When view-
ing the tool from the top, the bit rotates
clockwise. Feed direction of cutting must
be counterclockwise. NOTE: Inside and
outside cuts will require different feed direc-
tion. Refer to section on feeding the router.
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction caus-
es the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of
the workpiece and pull the tool in the direc-
tion of the feed.
Always use the tool with the router base
securely attached and positioned flat
against material being cut. Having the
base securely positioned on the material
improves the stability and control of your
tool.
Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp
bits must be handled with care. Damaged
bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the tool, possibly caus-
ing the bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after use. After use, the bit is too hot to be
touched by bare hands.
Never lay the tool down until the motor
has come to complete stop. The spinning
bit can grab the surface and pull the tool out
of your control.
Do not use the tool for drilling purposes.
This tool is not intended to be used with drill
bits.
Never use bits that have a cutting diame-
ter greater than the opening in the base.
