CHARGING THE TOOL
The Cordless Rotary Tool is not fully charged. The tool is
equipped with a non-removable battery pack. Be sure to charge
pack prior to initial use.
To charge the tool:
1. Turn tool off.
2. Place tool in the charger.
3. Plug charger into power source.
• Green light ON=charging.
• Solid green OFF=charging completed.
Charger will automatically stop charging the battery when
charging is completed. It is ok to leave tool on charger.
4. Charger will require approximately 5 hours to charge a
completely discharged battery.
IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
This tool has a Lithium-Ion battery and docking station offering
the following benefi ts:
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. The charger 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.
4. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only
when the battery temperature is between 4°C and 41°C.
5. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check to see if tool is properly placed in charger.
b. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other
electrical device.
c. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch
which turns power “off” when lights are turned off.
d. Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton
swab and alcohol if necessary.
NOTE: Use of chargers not sold by Dremel may void the
warranty.
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
identifi ed by the rings on the back of the collet.

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.
