To select the right speed for each job, use a practice piece of
material.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed dial. The speed
may be adjusted during operation by presetting the dial on or
between any one of the settings.
You can refer to the charts on page 4 to determine the proper
speed, based on the material being worked and the type of
accessory being used. These charts enable you to select both
the correct accessory and the optimum speed at a glance.
The speed of Rotary Tool is controlled by setting this dial on the
housing (PICTURE 6-B).
Settings for Approximate Revolutions
Speed Setting Speed Range
1 5,000 to 7,000 RPM
2 8,000 to 10,000 RPM
3* 11,000 to 14,000 RPM
4 15,000 to 18,000 RPM
5 19,000 to 22,000 RPM
* 3 is the maximum speed setting for wire brushes.
Needs for Slower Speeds
Certain materials, however, (some plastics and precious metals,
for example) require a relatively slow speed because at high
speed the friction of the accessory generates heat and may
cause damage to the material.
Slow speeds (15,000 RPM or less) usually are best for polishing
operations employing the felt polishing accessories. They may
also be best for working on delicate projects as "eggery" work,
delicate wood carving and fragile model parts. (All brushing
applications require lower speeds to avoid wire discharge from
the holder.)
Higher speeds are better for carving and shaping wood.
Hardwoods, metals and glass require high speed operation, and
drilling should also be done at high speeds.
The point to remember is this: Many applications and
accessories in our line will provide the best performance at full
speed, but for certain materials, applications, and accessories,
you need slower speeds, which is the reason our variable
speed models are available.
Ultimately, the best way to determine the correct speed for work
on any material is to practice for a few minutes on a piece of
scrap, even after referring to the chart. You can quickly learn
that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by observing
what happens as you make a pass or two at different speeds.
Some rules of thumb in regard to speed:
• Polishing, buffing and cleaning with any type of bristle brush
must be done at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM to
prevent damage to the brush.
• Increasing the pressure on the tool is not the answer when
it is not performing as you think it should. Perhaps you
should be using a different accessory, and perhaps an
adjustment in speed would solve the problem. Leaning on
the tool does not help.
Let speed do the work!
STALL PROTECTION
This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to protect the
motor in the event of a stall. If you stall the tool for too long,
or bind the bit in a work piece, especially at high speeds, it
will automatically turn itself off. Simply take the tool out of the
material you were stalled in, turn it back on again to continue
using it.
MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel
may result in misplacing of internal wiring and components
which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool
service be performed by a Dremel Service Facility. To avoid
injury from unexpected starting or electrical shock, always
remove plug from wall outlet before performing service or
cleaning.
CLEANING
TO AVOID ACCIDENTS, ALWAYS
WARNING
!
DISCONNECT THE TOOL AND/OR
CHARGER FROM THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE CLEANING.
The tool can be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air.
Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed
air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean
and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean the tool by
inserting pointed objects through an opening.
CERTAIN CLEANING AGENTS AND
WARNING
!
SOLVENTS DAMAGE PLASTIC PARTS.
Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated
cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain
ammonia.
