IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

This tool was designed with a lithium ion
battery and docking station for the following
benefits:
1. Lithium-ion battery will hold its charge while
in storage for up to 2 years so it's always ready
when you need it.
2. You can place the tool on the charger and
recharge it at any time without reducing the
original factory charge capacity.
3. Docking station was designed to use as a
place to store your tool while you are working
on your projects. Simply place the tool in the
charger when you're not using it on your
project, and it will continually recharge the
battery so it will run longer for you.
4. Docking station is also designed to be your
permanent storage device for your Stylus tool.
Keep it on your workbench or countertop,
charged and ready for when you need it for
your next project.
5. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery temperature
is between 40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F (41˚C).

USING THE STYLUS

Your Dremel Stylus comes with an assortment
of Premium Dremel accessories that are
designed for fine, detailed work where you
need precision control. It is intended to be
used on applications such as finish sanding,
engraving, carving, etching, polishing, and
cleaning, to name a few. Your Dremel Stylus
is small, light, and compact to give you the
ultimate precision and control when working on
your projects.
The first step in learning to use the Dremel
Stylus 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.
(See page 11 for recommended way to hold
the stylus.

• Solid green OFF=charging completed.
Charger will automatically stop charging the
battery when charging is completed. It is ok to
leave tool on charger continually.
4. Charger will require approximately 3 hours
to charge a completely discharged battery.
6. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced. To replace an old battery, contact
Dremel customer service at 1-800-4-DREMEL.
The Dremel Service Center can install a new
battery and ship it back to you within 48 hours
of receiving your tool.
7. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging
in some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power "off" when lights
are turned off.
c. Check charger terminals for dirt. Clean
with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
send tool and charger to your Dremel Service
Center.
e. Check to see if tool is properly placed in
charger (see page 9)
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not
sold by Dremel may void the warranty.
When you use an accessory for the first time,
hold it away from your face. Accessories can
be damaged during handling, and can fly apart
as they come up to speed. This is not
common, but it does happen.
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the
Dremel Stylus cuts. Keep in mind that the work
is done by the speed of the tool and by the
accessory in the collet. You should not lean on
or push the tool into the work.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to
the work and allow it to touch the point at
which you want cutting (or sanding or etching,
etc.) to begin. Concentrate on guiding the tool
over the work using very little pressure from
your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.
