It is this high speed, along with its compact size and wide variety of special accessories and attachments that makes your Cordless Rotary Tool different from other power tools. The speed enables it to do jobs low speed

tools cannot do, such as cutting hardened steel, en- graving glass, etc.

Getting the most out of your Cordless Rotary Tool is a matter of learning how to let this speed work for you.

Read the next sections carefully. They will help you use your Cordless Rotary Tool correctly and help you select the correct accessory for your job.

Stall Protection

This tool has a stall protection feature built into it to protect the motor and battery 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 materi- al you were stalled in, turn it off for 3 seconds, then turn it back on again to continue using it. When the battery becomes close to empty, the tool may shut down automatically more frequent than normal. If this happens, it is time to recharge the battery.

Fuel gauge

This tool is equipped with a Fuel gauge that tells you how much charge your battery has. A fully charged battery is indicated when all three LED lights are illuminated. As the battery discharges, the lights will turn off one by one until only one light is on. When the last light starts "flashing", the battery is almost empty. When the battery is dead, the tool will auto- matically turn off. This will be a sudden stop as opposed to a gradual winding down of the tool. Simply recharge the battery and reuse.

3 lights ˙ 100% charge remaining

2 lights ˙ 50% charge remaining

1 light ˙ 25% charge remaining

1 "Flashing" light ˙ tool is about to shut off.

Charging the Tool

The Cordless Rotary Tool is not fully charged. The tool is equipped with a removable battery pack. Be sure to charge pack prior to initial use.

To charge the tool:

1.Put the switch in the “OFF” position.

2.Squeeze release tabs on both sides of battery pack, and remove pack from back of tool as shown on page 7.

3.Align exterior shape of battery pack with exterior shape of charger (alignment arrows on battery columm will point to the two arrows located on charger), squeeze release tabs, insert battery pack into charger as shown and release pressure on tabs so it locks in place.

4.Plug charger into the power source. The green L.E.D. light indicates connection has been made and the battery pack is charging. Under normal usage the tool normally requires 3 hours charging time to reach full capacity. When charging is complete, LED on charger will turn off.

5.When charging is completed, squeeze release tabs on battery pack and remove pack from charger.

6.Align exterior shape of battery pack with exterior shape of the housing of tool as shown. Squeeze release tabs, insert battery pack into back of tool, and release pressure on tabs so it locks in place.

Important Charging Notes

1.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).

2.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.

3.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 battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.

d.If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your Dremel Service Center.

Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Dremel may void the warranty.
