Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool. ! WARNING SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work area safety Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) must be used to supply the power to your tool. GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety. Personal safety Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards. Electrical safety Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator. If operating the power tool in damp locations is unavoidable a Ground Fault 2 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 3 Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool. Power tool use and care Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Service Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator. Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels and other accessories run3 ning over rated speed can fly apart and cause injury. If cutting into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite. Do not operate the flexible shaft with a sharp bend. Over bending the shaft can generate excessive heat on the jacket or hand piece. The recommended minimum is 6" radius. Always disconnect the power cord from the power source before making any adjustments or attaching any acces- DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 4 SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL (CONTINUED) sories. You may unexpectedly cause the tool to start leading to serious personal injury. Be aware of the switch location, when placing the tool down or when picking the tool up. You may accidentally activate the switch. Always hold the hand piece firmly in your hands during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the shaft to twist. Always wear safety goggles and dust mask. Use only in well ventilated area. Using personal safety devices and working in safe environment reduces risk of injury. After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut and any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment device can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown. Do not reach in the area of the spinning bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to your hand may not always be obvious. Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using wheel. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time. Wire and bristle brushes must never be operated at speeds greater than 15,000/min. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the "cleaning" action with these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin. Bristles or wires will be discharged from the brush at high speeds. Carefully handle both the tool and individual grinding wheels to avoid chipping or cracking. Install a new wheel if tool is dropped while grinding. Do not use a wheel that may be damaged. Fragments from a wheel that bursts during operation will fly away at great velocity possibly striking you or bystanders. Never use dull or damaged bits. Sharp bits must be handled with care. Damaged bits can snap during use. Dull bits require more force to push the tool, possibly causing the bit to break. Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Allow for sufficient space, at least 6", between your hand and the spinning bit. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to "bite" or jump toward you. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to control the tool. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the bit and be torn from your hand. For example, if carving wood, make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. Nails or foreign objects can cause the bit to jump. Never start the tool when the bit is engaged in the material. The bit cutting edge may grab the material causing loss of control of the cutter. Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheel, especially when working corners, sharp edges etc. This can cause loss of control and kick-back. The direction of feed with the bit into the material when carving, routing or cutting is very important. Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction, causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed. If the workpiece or bit becomes jammed or bogged down, turn the tool "OFF" by the switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug the tool, then work to free the jammed material. If the switch to the tool is left "ON" the tool could restart unexpectedly causing serious personal injury. Do not leave a running tool unattended, turn power off. Only when tool comes to a complete stop it is safe to put it down. Do not grind or sand near flammable materials. Sparks from the wheel could ignite these materials. Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands. Regularly clean the tool's air vents with compressed air. Excessive accumulation of powdered metal inside the motor housing may cause electrical failures. 4 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 5 SAFETY RULES FOR ROTARY TOOL (CONTINUED) Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your rotary tool to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury. Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury. This product is not intended for use as a dental drill, in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious injury may result. When using the steel saws, cutoff wheels, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. Never attempt to hold the work with one hand while using any of these accessories. The reason is that these wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback causing loss of control resulting in serious injury. Your second hand should be used to steady and guide the hand holding the tool. When a cutoff wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When the steel saw, high speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool. dust created by ! WARNING Some drilling and other power construction activities, contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: · Lead from lead-based paints, · Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and · Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. 5 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 6 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ROTARY TOOL Unpacking & Checking Contents !

OPERATION Learning To Use the Rotary Tool Getting the most out of your rotary tool is a matter of learning how to let the speed and the feel of the tool in your hands work for you. The first step in learning to use the rotary tool 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. The unique comfort grip on the nose allows for added comfort and control during use. Always hold the tool ! WARNING 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. When holding tool, do not ! CAUTION cover the air vents with your hand. Blocking the air vents 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 rotary tool will perform best by allowing the speed, along with the correct DremelTM 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. 10 For best control in close work, grip the rotary tool like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger. The "golf" grip method is used for more aggressive operations such as grinding or cutting. 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 for error. DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 11 OPERATION (CONTINUED) Operating Speeds To achieve the best results when working with different materials, set the variable speed control to suit the job. To select the right speed for the accessory in use, practice with scrap material first. NOTE: Speed is affected by voltage changes. A reduced incoming voltage will slow the RPM of the tool, especially at the lowest setting. If your tool appears to be running slowly, increase the speed setting accordingly. The tool may not start at the lowest switch setting in areas where outlet voltage is less than 120 volts. Simply move the speed setting to a higher position to begin operation. The 300 Series Rotary Tool switch settings are marked "near" the speed control switch on the front tool label. Refer to the Speed Settings chart on pages 12 thru 14 to help determine the proper speed for the material being worked on and the accessory to use. Most jobs can be accomplished using the tool at the highest setting. However, certain materials (some plastics and metals) can be damaged by high-speed generated heat and should be worked on at relatively slow speeds. Slow speed operation (15,000 RPM or less) is usually best for polishing operations employing the felt polishing accessories, delicate wood carving and fragile model parts. All brushing applications require lower speeds to avoid wire discharge from the holder. Let the performance of the tool do the work for you when using lower speed settings. Higher speeds are better for drilling, carving, cutting, routing, shaping, cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass require high speed operation also. The settings for approximate RPM's are: Switch Setting Speed Range RPM 2 5,000-8,000 4 9,000-11,000 6 12,000-17,000 8 18,000-24,000 10 25,000-35,000 Set the Speed Control to the desired setting. Some guidelines regarding tool speed: · There is no accessory for the Dremel Rotary tool that will drill or cut glass. · Plastic and other materials that melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds. · Polishing, buffing and cleaning with a wire brush must be done at speeds not greater than 15,000 RPM to prevent damage to the brush and your material. · Wood should be cut at high speed. · Iron or steel should be cut at high speed. · If a high speed steel cutter starts to vibrate, it usually indicates that it is running too slow. · Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc alloys and tin may be cut at various speeds, depending on the type of cutting being done. Use a paraffin (not water) or other suitable lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut material from adhering to the cutter teeth. NOTE: Increasing pressure on the tool is not the answer when it is not performing properly. Try a different accessory or speed setting to achieve the desired result. Please refer to the following Speed Setting charts or simply contact Dremel Consumer Service at: 1-800-437-3635 or at www.Dremel.com. 11 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 12 SPEED SETTINGS Use only DremelTM tested, high performance accessories. * Speed for light cuts; Caution - burning on deep grooves. · Depending on cutting direction relative to grain.

WARNING performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a DremelTM Service Facility. To avoid injury from unex! WARNING pected starting or electrical shock, always remove plug from wall outlet before performing service or cleaning. Preventative maintenance A Carbon Brushes The brushes in your tool have been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To prepare the brushes for use, run the tool at full speed for 5 minutes under no load. This will properly "seat" the brushes, and extend the life of the tool. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, examine the brushes for wear every 40-50 hours. Using the tool with worn ! CAUTION brushes will permanently damage the motor. Use only original DremelTM replacement brushes.' Inspect the rotary tool brushes after 40-50 hours of use. If the rotary tool runs erratically, loses power, or makes unusual noises check the brushes for wear and possible replacement. Remember: brushes in the rotary tool are similar to oil in a car; the more you check/service, the better the performance. Follow these steps to check/change the rotary tool brushes: 1 With the power cord unplugged, place the tool on a clean surface. Use the tool wrench as a screwdriver to remove the brush caps in a counter-clockwise direction (Figure A). Removing Brush Cover 2. Remove the brushes from the tool by pulling on the spring that is attached to the carbon brush. If the brush is less than 1/8" long and the surface of the brush that touches the commutator is rough or pitted, the carbon brushes should be replaced. Be sure to check both brushes (Figure B). B Removing/Inspecting Brushes 3. If one brush is worn, you should replace both brushes for better performance of your rotary tool. Remove the spring from the brush, throw away the old brush and place the spring on a new brush. 15 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 16 4. Place the carbon brush and spring back into the tool, there is only one way the brush will fit back into the tool. 5. Replace the brush caps onto the tool by turning the cap in a clockwise direction. To tighten, use the wrench, but DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN! After replacing the brushes the tool should be run at no load; place it on a clean surface and run it freely at full speed for 5 minutes before loading (or using) the tool. This will allow the brushes to "seat" properly and will give you more hours of life from each set of brushes. This will also extend the life of your tool since the commutator surface will also wear better and longer. Cleaning The Tool Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings. The tool may be cleaned with compressed air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tool with compressed air. There is no need to lubricate the DremelTM rotary tool. Certain cleaning agents ! CAUTION and solvents will damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia. Clean the "soft grip" areas of the tool using a damp cloth. Tougher soiled areas may require more than one wipe application to get clean. 16 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 17 ACCESSORIES For availability of all accessories and attachments, refer your local hardware, hobby or home center.

Use only with DremelTM Router Attachment #330 or Shape/Router Table #231. Mandrels A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw head used with polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing points. The mandrel is a permanent shank, allowing for replacement of the worn head when necessary. Small Screw Mandrel Mandrel has a small screw 1/8" shank at the tip and is used with emery and fiberglass cutting wheels, sanding discs and polishing wheels. Screw Mandrel For use with the felt polishing tip and felt polishing wheels. 1/8" shank Threaded Tip Mandrel Mandrel has a threaded tip which threads into the polishing point accessory #427. 1/8" shank Aluminum Oxide Grinding Stones (red/brown) These grinding stones 1/8" shank come round, pointed or flat and are made of aluminum oxide. Use them for every possible grinding operation: sharpening lawn mower blades, screwdriver tips, knives, scissors, chisels and other cutting tools. Use to remove flash from metal castings, deburring any kind of metal. These grinding stones can be resharpened with a dressing stone. In machine shops, high speed drills and cutters are normally ground with aluminum oxide wheels. Silicon Carbide Grinding Stones (blue/green) 1/8" shank Tougher than aluminum oxide points, these are made especially for use on hard materials such as glass and ceramics. Diamond Wheel Points Used for fine detail work on 3/32" shank wood, jade, ceramic, glass and other hard material. Bits are covered with diamond particles. 17 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 18 ACCESSORIES (continued) High Speed Cutters High speed cutters are 1/8" shank used in carving, cutting and slotting wood, plastics and soft metals (such as aluminum, copper and brass). Made of high quality steel. Engraving Cutters Engraving cutters come in a 3/32" shank wide variety of sizes and shapes and are used for intricate work on ceramics (greenware), wood carvings, jewelry and scrimshaw. They are often used in making complicated printed circuit boards. They should not be used on steel and very hard materials, but are good for use on wood, plastic and soft metals. Structured Tooth Tungsten Carbide Cutters Tungsten Carbide Cutters 1/8" shank These cutters feature fast cutting needlesharp teeth for greater material removal with minimum loading. Use on fiberglass, wood, plastic, epoxy and rubber. 1/8" shank Tungsten carbide cutters are long-lived cutters for use on hardened steel, fired ceramics and other very hard materials. They can be used for engraving on tools and garden equipment. Wire Brushes Never use wire brushes at ! CAUTION speeds greater than 15,000 rpm. Refer to Speed Settings (pages 10-12) for proper tool and setting. Three different shapes of wire brushes are available in three different materials: stainless 1/8" shank steel, brass and carbon wire. Stainless steel brushes perform well on pewter, aluminum, stainless steel and other metals, without leaving rust. Brass brushes are non-sparking and softer than steel, making them good for use on soft metals like gold, copper and brass. Carbon wire brushes are good for general purpose cleaning. Brushing Pressure ·. The tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest pressure so only the tips of the wires come in contact with the work surface. ·. If heavier pressure is used, the wires will become overstressed, resulting in a wiping action. If this continues, the life of the brush will be shortened by fatigue. ·. Apply the brush to the work surface so the majority of the brush face makes full contact. Applying the edge or side of the brush to the work surface will result in wire breakage and shortened brush life. Bristle Brushes 1/8" shank Bristle brushes are used for cleaning tools on silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three shapes make it possible to get into tight corners and other difficult spaces. They can be used with polishing compound for faster cleaning or polishing. Aluminum Oxide Abrasive Wheels Used to remove paint, deburr metal, polish stainless steel and other metals. Available in medium grit. 1/8" shank Grinding Wheel Used for deburring, removing rust, and general purpose grinding. Use with Mandrel #402. 18 DM 2610925781 5-05.qxd 5/12/05 10:31 PM Page 19 ACCESSORIES (continued) Sanding Accessories Sanding discs in fine, medium and coarse 1/8" shank grades are made to fit mandrel #402. They can be used for nearly any small sanding job from model making to fine furniture finishing. In addition, the drum sander makes it possible to shape wood, smooth fiberglass, sand inside curves and other difficult places. Drum bands are replaceable and come in fine and coarse grades. Flapwheels grind and polish flat or contoured surfaces. They are used most effectively as a finishing sander, after heavier surface sanding and material removal is completed. Flapwheels come in fine and coarse grades. Buffs are a great finishing accessory for cleaning and light sanding. They work effectively on metal, glass, wood, aluminum and plastics. Buffs are available in medium and coarse grades. ATTACHMENTS The following attachments are part of the Dremel Rotary Tool System; increasing the versatility of your rotary tool.

Si on n'observe pas toutes les consignes décrites ci-dessous, il y a risque de choc électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessures corporelles graves. Dans toutes les mises en garde ci-dessous, le terme « outil électroportatif » se rapporte à des outils branchés sur le secteur (avec fil) ou à des outils alimentés par piles (sans fil). ! AVERTISSEMENT CONSERVEZ CES CONSIGNES Sécurité du lieu de travail Maintenez le lieu de travail propre et bien éclairé. Les risques d'accident sont plus élevés quand on travaille dans un endroit encombré ou sombre. N'utilisez pas d'outils électroportatifs dans des atmosphères explosives, comme par exemple en présence de gaz, de poussières ou de liquides inflammables. Les outils électroportatifs produisent des étincelles qui risquent d'enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs. Éloignez les enfants et les visiteurs quand vous vous servez d'un outil électroportatif. Vous risquez une perte de contrôle si on vous distrait. Sécurité personnelle Restez concentré, faites attention à ce que vous faites, et servez-vous de votre bon sens lorsque vous utilisez un outil électroportatif. N'employez pas d'outils électroportatifs quand vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'emprise de drogues, d'alcool ou de médicaments. Quand on utilise des outils électroportatifs, il suffit d'un moment d'inattention pour causer des blessures corporelles graves. Utilisez des équipements de sécurité. Portez toujours une protection oculaire. Si les conditions le demandent, il faut porter un masque à poussière, des chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, un casque de chantier ou une protection auditive pour réduire le risque de blessure corporelle. Évitez les démarrages intempestifs. Assurez-vous que l'interrupteur est en position arrêt (OFF) avant de brancher l'outil. Transporter un outil électroportatif avec le doigt sur la gâchette ou le brancher quand l'interrupteur est en position "marche" (ON) présente des risques d'accident. Enlevez toutes les clés de réglage avant de mettre l'outil électroportatif en marche. Si on laisse une clé sur une pièce tournante de l'outil électroportatif, il y a risque de blessure corporelle. Ne vous penchez pas. Conservez toujours une bonne assise et un bon équilibre. Ceci vous permettra de mieux maîtriser l'outil électroportatif dans des situations inattendues. Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux. Attachez les cheveux longs. N'approchez pas les cheveux, les vêtements ou les gants des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent d'être happés par les pièces en mouvement. Si l'outil est muni de dispositifs permettant le raccordement d'un système d'aspiration et de collecte des poussières, assurez-vous que ces dispositifs sont raccordés et utilisés correctement. L'utilisation de ces dispositifs peut permettre de réduire les dangers liés à la poussière. Maintenez les poignées sèches et exemptes d'huile et de graisse. On ne pas maîtriser un outil électroportatif en toute sécurité quand on a les mains glissantes. Sécurité électrique Les fiches des outils électroportatifs doivent correspondre à la prise. Il ne faut absolument jamais modifier la fiche. N'utilisez pas d'adaptateur de prise avec des outils électroportatifs munis d'une fiche de terre. Le risque de choc électrique est moindre si on utilise une fiche non modifiée sur une prise qui lui correspond. Évitez tout contact du corps avec des surfaces reliées à la terre tels que tuyaux, radiateurs, gazinières ou réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique augmente si votre corps est relié à la terre. N'exposez pas les outils électroportatifs à la pluie ou à l'humidité. Si de l'eau pénètre dans un outil électroportatif, le risque de choc électrique augmente. Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne vous en servez jamais pour transporter l'outil électroportatif, pour le tirer ou pour le débrancher. Éloignez le cordon de la chaleur, des huiles, des arêtes coupantes ou des pièces mobiles. Les cordons abîmés ou emmêlés augmentent les risques de choc électrique. Si vous utilisez un outil électroportatif à l'extérieur, employez une rallonge conçue pour l'extérieur. Ces rallonges sont faites pour l'extérieur et réduisent le risque de choc électrique. N'utilisez pas un outil conçu uniquement pour le C.A. sur une alimentation en C.C. Même si l'outil semble fonctionner, les composants électriques d'un outil prévu pour le C.A. tomberont probablement en panne et risquent de créer un danger pour l'utilisateur. S'il est nécessaire d'utiliser l'outil dans un lieu humide, il faut l'alimenter par l'intermédiaire d'un disjoncteur différentiel de fuite à la terre (DDFT). L'emploi d'un DDFT et de dispositifs de protection personnelle tels que gants et chaussures d'électricien en caoutchouc améliorent votre sécurité personnelle. Utilisation et entretien des outils électroportatifs Ne forcez pas sur l'outil électroportatif. Utilisez l'outil électroportatif qui convient à la tâche à effectuer. L'outil qui convient à la tâche fait un meilleur travail et est plus sûr à la vitesse pour lequel il a été conçu. 26 DM 2610925781 5-05 Fr.qxd 5/12/05 10:32 PM Page 27 Ne vous servez pas de l'outil électroportatif si son interrupteur ne parvient pas à le mettre en marche ou à l'arrêter. Tout outil électroportatif qui ne peut pas être commandé par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé. Débranchez la fiche de la prise ou enlevez le bloc-pile de l'outil électroportatif avant tout réglage, changement d'accessoires ou avant de ranger l'outil électroportatif. De telles mesures de sécurité préventive réduisent le risque de démarrage intempestif de l'outil électroportatif. Rangez les outils électroportatifs dont vous ne vous servez pas hors de portée des enfants et ne permettez pas à des personnes qui ne connaissent pas l'outil électroportatif ou qui ignorent ces consignes de s'en servir. Les outils électroportatifs sont dangereux dans les mains d'utilisateurs inexpérimentés. Entretenez les outils électroportatifs. Vérifiez que les pièces mobiles sont alignées correctement et ne coincent pas. Vérifiez qu'il n'y a pas de pièces cassées ou d'autre circonstance qui risquent d'affecter le fonctionnement de l'outil électroportatif. Si l'outil est abîmé, faites-le réparer avant de l'utiliser. De nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils électroportatifs mal entretenus. Maintenez les outils coupants affûtés et propres. Les outils coupants entretenus correctement et dotés de bords tranchants affûtés sont moins susceptibles de coincer et sont plus faciles à maîtriser. Utilisez l'outil électroportatif, les accessoires, les embouts etc. selon ces consignes et de la manière prévue pour chaque type particulier d'outil électroportatif en tenant compte des conditions de travail et de la tâche à accomplir. L'emploi d'outils électroportatifs pour des tâches différentes de celles pour lesquelles ils ont été prévus peut résulter en une situation dangereuse. Utilisez des brides ou d'autres moyens pratiques de brider ou de supporter la pièce sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pièce à la main ou contre le corps est instable et risque de résulter en une perte de contrôle. Entretien Faites réparer votre outil électroportatif par un agent de service qualifié n'utilisant que des pièces de rechange identiques. Ceci assure que la sécurité de l'outil électroportatif est préservée. Créez un agenda d'entretien périodique pour votre outil. Quand vous nettoyez un outil, faites attention de n'en démonter aucune pièce car il est toujours possible de mal remonter ou de pincer les fils internes ou de remonter incorrectement les ressorts de rappel des capots de protection. Certains agents de nettoyage tels que l'essence, le tétrachlorure de carbone, l'ammoniaque, etc. risquent d'abîmer les plastiques. CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR OUTILS ROTATIFS Tenez l'outil par les surfaces isolées de prise en exécutant une opération lorsque l'outil de coupe peut venir en contact avec des fils cachés ou son propre cordon. Le contact avec un fil sous tension rendra les parties métalliques exposées de l'outil sous tension et causera des secousses électriques à l'opérateur. Utilisez des brides ou d'autres moyens pratiques de brider ou de supporter la pièce sur une plate-forme stable. Tenir la pièce à la main ou contre le corps est instable et risque de résulter en une perte de contrôle. Les accessoires doivent être prévus pour au moins la vitesse recommandée sur l'étiquette d'avertissement de l'outil. Les meules et les autres accessoires utilisés à une vitesse supérieure à la vitesse nominale peuvent se détacher et provoquer des blessures. Pour couper dans des murs existants ou autres endroits aveugles pouvant dissimuler des fils électriques, débranchez tous les fusibles ou les disjoncteurs alimentant ce lieu de travail. L'avertissement suivant s'applique aux outils à arbre flexible et à leurs accessoires : ne faites pas fonctionner l'arbre flexible avec une courbe prononcée. Lors du pliage, l'arbre peut produire une chaleur excessive sur la gaine ou la partie maniable. Le rayon minimum recommandé est de 6 po. Débranchez toujours le cordon de la prise de courant avant d'effectuer quelque réglage que ce soit ou de poser des accessoires. L'outil pourrait se mettre en marche par mégarde et causer des blessures graves. Connaissez l'emplacement de l'interrupteur lorsque vous déposez l'outil ou lorsque vous le reprenez. Vous pouvez actionner l'interrupteur par mégarde. L'avertissement suivant s'applique aux outils à arbre flexible et à leurs accessoires : maintenez toujours fermement la partie maniable dans vos mains pendant le démarrage. Lors de son accélération pour atteindre le plein régime, le couple à réaction du moteur peut entraîner une torsion de l'arbre. Portez toujours des lunettes de sécurité et un masque anti-poussières. N'utilisez l'outil qu'à un endroit bien aéré. L'utilisation de dispositifs de sécurité personnelle et le travail dans un environnement sûr réduisent les risques de blessures. 27 DM 2610925781 5-05 Fr.qxd 5/12/05 10:32 PM Page 28 CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR OUTILS ROTATIFS (SUITE) Après avoir changé les lames ou effectué quelque réglage que ce soit, assurez-vous que l'écrou de la douille et tout autre dispositif de réglage sont bien serrés. Un dispositif de réglage lâche peut bouger soudainement et causer ainsi une perte de contrôle avec projection violente des composants en rotation. Ne placez pas la main à proximité de la mèche qui tourne. Vous ne vous rendrez pas toujours compte de cette proximité. Laissez les brosses tourner à la vitesse de fonctionnement pendant au moins une minute avant d'utiliser la meule. Durant cette période, personne ne doit se tenir devant la meule ou en ligne avec celle-ci. Pendant la période de rodage, les poils ou fils de fer seront éjectés de la brosse. Les brosses (à poils standards ou métalliques) ne doivent jamais être utilisées au-dessus de 15 000 tr/min. Dirigez la décharge de la brosse métallique en rotation en sens opposé à vous. Des petites particules et des petits fragments de fil peuvent être déchargés à grande vitesse durant l'action de « nettoyage » de ces brosses et peuvent se loger dans votre peau. À haute vitesse, les poils ou fils de fer mal attachés seront éjectés. Portez des gants protecteurs et un masque de soudeur avec les brosses métalliques ou en soie de porc. Appliquez légèrement les brosses métalliques ou en soie de porc sur votre ouvrage, puisque seules les extrémités du fil métallique/des brosses font le travail. Une « lourde » pression sur les brosses entraînera une surcharge du fil métallique ou de la brosse, résultant en une action d'essuyage, et entraînera une décharge des brosses/du fil métallique. Maniez soigneusement l'outil aussi bien que les meules individuelles pour éviter les éclats ou les fissurations. Posez une nouvelle meule si l'outil tombe pendant la rectification. N'utilisez pas une meule qui peut être endommagée. Les fragments d'une meule qui éclate durant le fonctionnement seront projetés à grande vitesse et pourraient frapper des personnes présentes ou vous-même. N'utilisez jamais de lames émoussées ou abîmées. Les lames affilées doivent être maniées soigneusement. Les mèches abîmées peuvent se rompre brusquement durant l'usage. Les lames émoussées nécessitent plus de force pour pousser l'outil, causant éventuellement un bris de la lame. Utilisez des pinces pour supporter l'ouvrage autant que possible. Ne tenez jamais un petit ouvrage d'une main et l'outil de l'autre main pendant que celui-ci est en usage. Prévoyez un espace suffisant, d'au moins 150 mm, entre votre main et la mèche qui tourne. Les pièces rondes, telles que tiges cylindriques, tuyaux ou tubes, ont tendance à rouler pendant qu'on les coupe et, de ce fait, la mèche peut « mordre » ou sauter vers vous. En fixant un petit ouvrage, vous pourrez utiliser vos deux mains pour contrôler l'outil. Inspectez l'ouvrage avant de le couper. Avant de couper un ouvrage de forme irrégulière, planifiez votre travail de manière à ce que l'ouvrage ne glisse pas et ne vienne pas pincer la mèche qui sera arrachée de votre main. Ainsi, si vous taillez du bois, assurez-vous de l'absence de clous ou de corps étrangers dans l'ouvrage. Sous l'effet du contact avec des clous ou corps étrangers, la mèche peut sauter. Ne mettez jamais l'outil en marche alors que la lame est enfoncée dans le matériau. Le tranchant de la lame peut se coincer dans le matériau et vous faire perdre le contrôle du couteau. Évitez de faire rebondir et de heurter la meule, surtout en travaillant des coins, des arêtes vives, etc. Ceci peut causer une perte de contrôle et un rebond. Le sens d'avance de la mèche dans l'ouvrage lorsque vous taillez, détourez ou coupez est très important. Avancez toujours la mèche dans l'ouvrage dans le sens dans lequel le tranchant sort de l'ouvrage (ce qui correspond au sens d'éjection des copeaux). L'avance de l'outil dans le mauvais sens fait sortir le tranchant de la mèche de l'ouvrage et tire l'outil dans le sens de cette avance. Si le matériau ou la mèche se grippe ou se bloque, mettez l'outil hors tension « OFF » par l'interrupteur. Attendez que toutes les pièces mobiles s'immobilisent et débranchez l'outil, procédez ensuite à débloquer l'ouvrage bloqué. Si l'interrupteur de l'outil est laissé en position de marche « ON », l'outil pourrait se remettre en marche par mégarde et causer ainsi des blessures graves. Ne laissez pas un outil en marche sans surveillance, mettez hors tension. L'outil peut être déposé en toute sécurité uniquement lorsqu'il s'est arrêté complètement. Ne rectifiez et ne poncez pas à proximité de matières inflammables. Les étincelles provenant de la meule pourraient enflammer ces matières. Ne touchez pas la mèche ou la douille après usage. Après usage, la mèche et la douille sont trop chaudes pour être touchées à mains nues. Nettoyez régulièrement les prises d'air de l'outil à l'aide d'air comprimé. Une accumulation excessive de métal en poudre à l'intérieur du carter du moteur peut causer des défaillances électriques. Ne soyez pas dupé par la familiarité acquise par un usage fréquent de votre outil rotatif. N'oubliez pas qu'une fraction de seconde d'insouciance suffit à infliger des blessures graves. Ne modifiez pas l'outil et n'en faites pas un usage erroné. Toute altération ou modification constitue un usage erroné et peut provoquer des blessures graves. 28 DM 2610925781 5-05 Fr.qxd 5/12/05 10:32 PM Page 29 CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR OUTILS ROTATIFS (SUITE) Ce produit n'est pas destiné à être utilisé comme fraise dentaire dans des applications médicales humaines ou vétérinaires. Des blessures graves peuvent s'ensuivre. Lorsque vous utilisez les scies en acier, les disques de découpage, les couteaux à grande vitesse ou les couteaux au carbure de tungstène, assurez-vous que la pièce est toujours bien assujettie. Ne tentez jamais de tenir la pièce d'une seule main tout en utilisant l'un de ces accessoires. La raison en est que ces roues grippent lorsqu'elles sont le moindrement inclinées dans la rainure, et elles peuvent alors rebondir, vous faisant ainsi perdre le contrôle et causant des blessures graves. Votre autre main doit servir à stabiliser et guider la main qui tient l'outil. Lorsqu'un disque de découpage grippe, on peut généralement s'attendre à ce qu'il se brise. Lorsque la scie en acier, les couteaux à grande vitesse ou le couteau au carbure de tungstène grippent, ils peuvent sauter hors de la rainure et vous pouvez perdre le contrôle de l'outil. Les travaux à la machine tel que ponçage, sciage, meulage, perçage et autres travaux du bâtiment peuvent créer des poussières contenant des produits chimiques qui sont des causes reconnues de cancer, de malformation congénitale ou d'autres problèmes reproductifs. Ces produits chimiques sont, par exemple : ! AVERTISSEMENT · Le plomb provenant des peintures à base de plomb, · Les cristaux de silices provenant des briques et du ciment et d'autres produits de maçonnerie, et · L'arsenic et le chrome provenant des bois traités chimiquement. Le niveau de risque dû à cette exposition varie avec la fréquence de ces types de travaux. Pour réduire l'exposition à ces produits chimiques, il faut travailler dans un lieu bien ventilé et porter un équipement de sécurité approprié tel que certains masques à poussière conçus spécialement pour filtrer les particules microscopiques. 29 DM 2610925781 5-05 Fr.qxd 5/12/05 10:32 PM Page 30 FAMILIARISATION AVEC L'OUTIL ROTATIF Déballage et contrôle du contenu Pour écarter tout risque de ! AVERTISSEMENT blessures causées par le démarrage intempestif de l'outil ou une décharge électrique, débranchez toujours l'outil de la prise murale lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé. Séparez toutes les pièces non fixées des matériaux d'emballage et pour chaque article, pointez sur la liste de colisage qui figure sur le carton pour vous assurer que rien ne manque avant de jeter les matériaux d'emballage. Tandis que le régime maximal d'une perceuse ordinaire est limité à 2 500 tours/mn, l'outil rotatif de la série 300 tourne à des régimes de 5 000 à 35 000 tours/mn. Ces régimes élevés permettent à votre outil rotatif Dremel de produire des résultats très performants. Vous n'avez pas besoin d'appliquer de pression sur votre outil, c'est la vitesse de l'outil rotatif qui se charge d'accomplir les tâches les plus difficiles. La performance de votre outil rotatif Dremel dépend cependant des accessoires que vous utilisez. Du fait des grandes vitesses que votre outil rotatif peut atteindre, nous recommandons fortement que vous utilisiez toujours des accessoires de la marque Dremel pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats possibles. Les accessoires et éléments auxiliaires Dremel font l'objet de tests très complets et contrôlés, et ils doivent respecter les normes les plus strictes avant d'être approuvés, qu'il s'agisse de mèches de perceuses ou de fraises de défonceuses, de roues à polir en feutre ou de brosses en métal et en nylon, de meules à tronçonner ou de bandes de ponçage, de mèches à graver ou de trépans, ou de tout autre accessoire. C'est pourquoi votre expérience avec le système d'outil rotatif Dremel (c. à d. l'outil rotatif lui-même et ses accessoires et éléments auxiliaires) sera une grande réussite : une versatilité illimitée pour vous et vos projets, où que vous soyez.
