D.C. motors

The motor in your tool has been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend it be examined every six months. Only a genuine Dremel replacement motor specially designed for your tool should be used.

Cleaning

To avoid accidents, always dis- ! WARNING connect the tool and/or charger

from the power supply before cleaning. The tool may 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 by inserting pointed objects through opening.

Certain cleaning agents and sol- vents damage plastic parts. Some

of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

Extension Cords

If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conduc- tors 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.
