BEARINGS

Models 100, 200 & 300 have double ball
bearing construction. Under normal use they
will not require lubrication.
To avoid accidents always
disconnect the tool from
the power supply before cleaning or
performing any maintenance. The tool may
be cleaned most effectively with compressed
dry air. Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air.

Extension Cords

If an extension cord is
necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors that is capable
of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent
excessive voltage drop, loss of power or
overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire
extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and
receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.
Use only Dremel
designed for this tool and may lead to personal injury or property damage.
The number and variety of accessories for the
Rotary Tool are almost limitless. There is a
category suited to almost any job you might

these so that you will have the proper size of

Mandrels

A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw
head, which are required when you use
polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding
discs, and polishing points. The reason
mandrels are used is that sanding discs,
cutting wheels and similar accessories must be
replaced frequently. The mandrel is a per-
manent shank, allowing you to replace only the
worn head when necessary, thus saving the
expense of replacing the shaft each time.
