GETTING TO KNOW THE TOOL

WHAT IS A ROTARY TOOL

Rotary tools are handheld power tools that use high-speed & low torque to tackle a variety of useful tasks with precision & control, allowing you to cut, sand, grind, polish or engrave, depending on the type of accessory being used.
Dremel carries a variety of accessories that go into the tool & can be used to do a variety of applications. Dremel also carries several types of job-specific attachments that can be threaded onto the rotary tool in place of the nose cap to expand its use.

*Not Included in 7760 Kit.

GETTING STARTED

CHARGE IT

Fully charge the tool before use (approximately 2 hours & 45 minutes). A green light will illuminate from the indicator while charging, which will turn off once fully charged. A red light will turn on when battery is low. For optimal run-time, charge tool using a 5V/1a minimum power adapter.

TIP: A red LED light will turn on when the tool s talls. If this happens, remove the tool from the material, shut the tool off, & resume use without excess pressure. If stalling persists, consider using a different accessory, technique, or tool for the job.

INSTALL THE ACCESSORY

Loosen the collet nut by pressing down on the shaft lock button & rotate collet nut by hand until the collet opens up to allow an accessory to be placed in it. Once the accessory is placed in the collet, hold the shaft lock button down & use the included collet wrench or EZ Twist Nose Cap (with integrated wrench) to tighten the collet nut & secure the accessory in the collet.

TIP: Dremel has 4 different size collets, your kit includes a 1/8" shank size collet. Visit Dremel.com to find other accessories that can be used with the Lite.

When changing accessories, insert the new one into the collet as far as possible to minimize runout & unbalance. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet nut when there is no bit inserted (figure 2). Always check that the accessory is securely installed before operating the tool.

TIP: If the collet is stuck to the collet nut & does not open up, preventing the accessory from being inserted, use the shank of the accessory to gently loosen the collet from the collet nut.

GRIP IT

PENCIL GRIP
For more control in close or detailed work, grip the tool like a pencil between your thumb & forefinger.

GOLF GRIP
Used for more aggressive operations such as sanding or grinding.

TIP: To prevent overheating the tool, whenever possible, do not grip the tool where it would block the ventilation openings.

OPERATE IT

LET SPEED DO THE WORK!
Don't apply excessive pressure. Let the speed of the tool do the work. Leaning on the tool does not help & will stall the tool. The tool may also stall if the accessory becomes bound in the work piece, especially at high speeds. The LED light will flash red when the tool stalls. Make sure the tool is fully charged & the ventilation opening is clear.
TIP: PRACTICE

See accessory grid for recommended speed settings. 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 material.

Avoid engaging the shaft lock button while tool is in operation. Doing so will result in severe internal damage of the tool.
