BATTERY CHARGE CONDITION INDICATOR
LIGHTS
Your tool is equipped with charge condition indicator lights
(picture 1 D). The indicator lights shows the charge condition of
the battery.
3 of 3 Solid LED’s = 67-100%
2 of 3 Solid LED’s = 34-66%
1 of 3 Solid LED’s = 16-33%
1 of 3 Flashing LED’s = 0-15%
3 “side to side” lights – battery charge is too low to run tool.
Recharge the battery.
3 “flashing” lights – battery is too hot for use. Turn tool off and
let battery cool down.
Your tool is equipped with advanced electronics that protect
the Li-Ion cells in the battery from damage due to excessive
operating temperature and/or current draw. If the warning
symbol illuminates red and/or the tool stops working during
heavy use, this most likely indicates that the Li-Ion cells are
near their maximum operating temperature, and the battery
pack should either be changed or allowed to cool to ambient
temperature before continuing use. If the tool automatically turns
off due to overload conditions, the switch must be turned off for
a few seconds to allow the circuit to reset before continuing use.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only
when the battery temperature is between 32°F (0°C) and
113°F (45°C). If the battery pack is too hot or too cold, the
charger will not fast charge the battery. (This may happen
if the battery pack is hot from heavy use). When the battery
temperature returns to between 32°F (0°C) and 113°F
(45°C), the charger will automatically begin charging.
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. Remember to unplug charger during storage period.
NOTE: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Dremel will
void the warranty.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK (MODEL 875)
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet.
With no battery pack inserted, the charger’s green indicator light
will go ON. This indicates the charger is receiving power and the
charger is ready for operation.
When you insert the battery pack into the charger, the charger’s
green indicator light will begin to “BLINK”. This indicates that the
battery is receiving a fast charge.

C. Green light
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING” (and becomes a
steady green light) fast charging is complete. The battery pack is
fully charged and can be removed from the charger.
When you begin the charging process of the battery pack, a
steady green light could also mean the battery pack is too hot
or too cold.
Fast charging is only possible when the temperature range of
the battery pack is between 0°C and 45°C.
When needed, the internal fan of the charger will turn on to aid
the charging process and speed.
As soon as the battery pack reaches the correct temperature
range, the battery charger will automatically switch to fast
charging.
The battery pack may be used even though the light may still
be blinking. The light may require more time to stop blinking
depending on temperature.
The purpose of the green light is to indicate that the battery
pack is fast-charging. It does not indicate the exact point of full
charge. The light will stop blinking in less time if the battery
pack was not completely discharged.
If the green indicator light is “ON”, the battery pack cannot
accept a charge.
GENERAL
The Dremel multitool is a high quality precision tool that can
be used to perform detailed and intricate tasks. The wide range
of Dremel accessories and attachments allow you to perform
a large variety of tasks. These include tasks such as sanding,
carving, engraving, routing, cleaning and polishing.

COLLETS
The Dremel accessories available for the multitool come
with various shank sizes. Four size collets are available to
accommodate the different shank sizes. Collet sizes are
identified by the rings on the back of the collet.

E. 0.8 mm Collet with one ring (483)
F. Indentification rings
NOTE: Some multitool kits may not include all four collet sizes.
Collets are available separately.
Always use the collet that matches the shank size of the
accessory you plan to use. Do not force a larger diameter shank
into a smaller collet.

D. To loosen
E. To tighten
1. Press the shaft lock button, hold down and rotate the shaft
by hand until it engages the shaft lock. Do not engage the
shaft lock button while multitool is running.
2. With the shaft lock button engaged, loosen and remove the
collet nut. Use the collet wrench if necessary.
3. Remove the collet by pulling it free from the shaft.
4. Install the appropriate size collet fully into the shaft and
reinstall the collet nut finger tight. Do not fully tighten the
nut when there is no bit or accessory installed.
CHANGING ACCESSORIES
1. Press the shaft lock button and rotate the shaft by hand
until it engages the shaft lock. Do not engage the shaft lock
button while multitool is running.
2. With the shaft lock button engaged, loosen (do not remove)
the collet nut. Use the collet wrench if necessary.
3. Insert the bit or accessory shank fully into the collet.
4. With the shaft lock button engaged, finger tighten the collet
nut until the bit or accessory shank is gripped by the collet.
NOTE: Be sure to read the instructions supplied with your Dremel
accessory for further information on its use.
Use only Dremel tested, high performance accessories.
EZ TWIST™ INTEGRATED WRENCH/NOSE CAP
PICTURE 4
F. EZ Twist™ integrated wrench/nose cap (not available on
every 8200 tool)
This nose cap has an integrated wrench allowing you to loosen
and tighten the collet nut without the use of the standard collet
wrench.
1. Unscrew the nose cap from the tool, line-up the steel insert
on inside of the cap with the collet nut.
