Dremel Micro - Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the new Dremel
Micro the most precise and compact cordless
tool produced by the worldwide leader in rotary
tools. This product was designed by the many
Dremel users who passionately use their rotary
tools daily. The combination of design,
ergonomics, and motor makes the Dremel
Micro highly user friendly and ideal for precise
work and demanding tasks.
1-Precise
The new Dremel tool is perfect for fine,
detailed work where precision and control are
needed. The compact and ergonomic housing
is designed for you to hold between your
thumb and forefinger so that the tool can be
controlled like a pencil. When held in this
position you can hardly feel the lightweight and
compact tool in your hand! It is intended to be
an extension of your hand and can be used
comfortably for prolonged periods of time
thanks also to the soft grip included in the front
end of the housing. The ultra slim body and
taper front-end allow you to grip the tool much
closer to the work piece for a better
maneuverability and control especially when
working on intricate projects or in confined/tight
areas. Yet, all tool components have been
perfectly tuned to deliver the least amount of
vibrations and accessory run out so that
comfort and precision experience are best in
class. The tool is also provided with front-end
LED lights to illuminate the work piece for
better visibility. Portability is another benefit of
the compact design. Its small size and light
weight offer the freedom to take the Dremel
Micro anywhere.
2-Powerful
Power is another great benefit you will
experience while working with Dremel Micro.
Operations like engraving, sanding and
polishing are always expected from a rotary
tool. What might not be expected from such a
small tool is the power to conduct light duty
DIY tasks such as cutting screws and nails.
This tool will surprise you: the combination of a
compact and highly efficient DC motor, smaller
Lithium-ion battery cells and smart electronics
allow for tougher applications than you think.
Powered by cutting edge Lithium Technology
batteries and provided with a charging base,
the Dremel Micro is always ready to be used
for precise/detailed projects as well as quick
fixes. The power adapter in combination with
the charging base keep the tool fully charged
at all times: it automatically stops when the
batteries have reached 100% of their storage
capacity so that the tool can be left onto the
charging base for prolonged periods of time.
This smart technology ensures enough run-
time to complete a whole range of applications
even if the tool is used intermittently. For
cordless tools, in fact, it is critical that the
battery does not drain quickly during storage
otherwise you will experience the frustration of
having to charge the tool before use.
3-Versatile
The Dremel Micro comes with a limited
assortment of rotary accessories but it is fully
compatible with the rest of the Dremel rotary
accessory program. The versatility of the tool is
represented by its ability to complete a wide
spectrum of applications with the simple
change of an accessory. Accessories come in
a variety of shapes and permit you to do a
number of different jobs. The LED lights on the
topside of the battery housing facilitate the
identification and selection of the optimal
speed for each accessory. In addition, the shaft
lock mechanism makes locking the output
shaft easier for changing accessories. You will
appreciate the many applications the Dremel
Micro can easily tackle.
Rotary Tool Introduction
The Rotary Tool has a small, powerful
electric motor, is comfort able in the hand,
and is made to accept a large variety of
accessories including abrasive wheels, drill
bits, wire brushes, polishers, engraving
cutters, cutting wheels. As you be come
familiar with the range of accessories and
their uses, you will learn just how versatile
the Rotary Tool is. You’ll see dozens of uses
you hadn’t thought of before.
The real secret of the Rotary Tool is its
speed. To understand the advantages of its
high speed, you have to know that the
standard portable electric drill runs at speeds
up to 2,800 revolutions per minute. The
Rotary Tool operates at speeds up to 28,000
revolutions per minute. The typical electric
drill is a low-speed, high torque tool; the
Rotary Tool is just the opposite – a high-
speed, low torque tool. The major difference
to the user is that in the high speed tools, the
speed combined with the acces sory mounted
in the collet does the work. You don’t apply
pressure to the tool, but simply hold and
