Four different size collets (see PICTURE 2), to accommodate
different shank sizes, are available for your Rotary Tool. To install
a different collet, remove the collet nut and remove the old collet.
Insert the unslotted end of the collet in the hole in the end of the
tool shaft. Replace collet nut on the shaft.
ALWAYS USE THE COLLET WHICH

COLLET IDENTIFICATION CHART
Collet sizes can be identified by the rings on the back end of
collet.
1/32" Collet has one (1) ring.
1/16" Collet has two (2) rings.
3/32" Collet has three (3) rings.
1/8" Collet has no rings. (Included in most tool kits on the tool).
FIxING STUCK COLLETS
It is possible for a collet to get stuck within the collet nut especi-
ally if a collet nut is tightened onto the tool without a bit in place.
If this happens, the collet can be removed from the collet nut by
pushing the shank of an accessory into the hole in the collet nut.
This should cause the collet to pop out of the collet nut.
COLLET NUT
To loosen, first press shaft lock button and rotate the shaft by
hand until the lock engages the shaft preventing further rotation.
Your Dremel 2050 is equipped with a quick shaft lock mechanism.
DO NOT ENGAGE LOCK WHILE THE
WARNING
!
ROTARY TOOL IS RUNNING.
With the shaft lock engaged use the collet wrench to loosen the
collet nut if necessary. The collet nut must be loosely threaded
on when inserting an accessory. Change accessories by inserting
the new one into the collet as far as possible to minimize runout
and unbalance.
With the shaft lock engaged, use collet wrench to securely tighten
the collet nut (PICTURE 3). Avoid excessive tightening of the
collet nut when there is no bit inserted.

GETTING STARTED
The first step in using the multitool is to get the "feel" of it. Hold
it in your hand and feel its weight and balance. Feel the taper of
the housing. This taper permits the tool to be grasped much like
a pen or pencil.
Always hold the tool away from your face. Accessories can be
damaged during handling and can fly apart as they come up to
speed.
When holding tool, do not cover the ventilation openings with your
hand. Blocking the ventilation openings could cause the motor to
overheat.
IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material first to see how the tool's
high-speed action performs. Keep in mind that your multitool will
perform best by allowing the speed, along with the correct Dremel
accessory and attachment, to do the work for you. Do not put
pressure on the tool during use, if possible. Instead, lower the
spinning accessory lightly to the work surface and allow it to touch
the point at which you want to begin. Concentrate on guiding the
tool over the work using very little pressure from your hand. Allow
the accessory to do the work.
Usually it is better to make a series of passes with the tool rather
than to do the entire job with one pass. A gentle touch gives the
best control and reduces the chance of error.
