• 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.

Dremel cutting, scraper blades have a Quick-
Fit slot which allows for faster accessory
removal compared with other conventional
oscillating tool systems.
1. Loosen the clamping screw using the hex
key provided just enough so you can slide
the accessory between the accessory
holder and the blade washer (Fig. 2).
2. Clean accessory holder, accessory and the
clamping screw with a clean cloth.
3. Place the accessory onto the accessory
holder making sure the accessory engages
all pins in the holder and the accessory is
flush aganist the accessory holder.
4. Securely tighten the clamping screw with
the hex provided (Fig. 3).
#$) Some accessories, such as scrapers
or blades, may be mounted either straight on
the tool, or at an angle to enhance usability
(Fig. 4).

Your backing pad uses hook-and-loop backed
accessories, which firmly grip the backing pad
when applied with moderate pressure.
1. Align the sanding sheet and press it onto
the sanding plate by hand.
2. Firmly press the power tool with the
sanding sheet against a flat surface and
briefly switch the power tool on. This will
promote good adhesion and helps to
prevent premature wear.
3. To change, merely peel off the old sanding
sheet, remove dust from the backing pad if
necessary, and press the new sanding
sheet in place.
After considerable service the backing pad
surface will become worn, and the backing pad
must be replaced when it no longer offers a
firm grip. If you are experiencing premature
wear out of the backing pad facing, decrease
the amount of pressure you are applying
during operation of the tool.
For maximum use of abrasive, rotate pad 120
degrees when tip of abrasive becomes worn.

Getting the most out of your cordless
oscillating 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 tool is to
get the “feel” of it. Hold it in your hand and feel
its weight and balance (Fig. 5). Depending on
the application, you will need to adjust your
hand position to achieve optimum comfort and
control. The unique comfort grip on the body of
the tool allows for added comfort and control
during use.
When holding the tool, do not cover the air
vents with your hand. Blocking the air vents
could cause the motor to overheat.
"%$')#) Practice on scrap material first
to see how the tool’s high-speed action
performs. Keep in mind that your tool will
perform best by allowing the speed, along with
the correct accessory, do the work for you. Be
careful not to apply too much pressure.
Instead, lower the oscillating 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.
Usually it is better to make a series of passes
with the tool rather than to do the entire job
with one pass. To make a cut, for example,
pass the tool back and forth over the work. Cut
a little material on each pass until you reach
the desired depth.

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 becomes close to empty, the
tool may shut down automatically more
frequent than normal. If this happens, it is time
to recharge the battery.
When the battery is dead, the tool will
automatically 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
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
before resuming use.

If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger
is not receiving power from power supply
outlet.
If the green indicator light is
“BLINKING”, the battery
pack is being fast-charged.
Fast-charging will automatically stop when
the battery pack is fully charged.
Fast-charging means that the battery will be
fully charged in one hour.
If the green indicator light is
"ON", the charger is
plugged in but the battery
pack is not inserted, or the battery pack is
fully charged, or the battery pack is too hot or
cold for fast-charging. The charger will
automatically switch to fast-charging once a
suitable temperature is reached.
"%$')#)'##$)(
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.
4. 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,

Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then insert battery pack into charger
(Fig. 8).
The charger’s green indicator light will begin to
“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
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.
When charging several batteries in sequence,
the charge time may slightly increase.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery

Your Dremel Cordless Multi-Max Tool is
intended for sanding and cutting wooden
materials, plastic, plaster and non-ferrous
metals. It is especially suitable for working
close to edges, in tight spaces, and for flush
cutting. This tool must be used only with
Dremel accessories .

*))#
Saw blades are ideal for making precise cuts
in tight areas, close to edges or flush to a
surface.
Select a medium to high speed for making
initial plunge, start off at medium speed for
increased control. After making your initial cut,
you can increase speed for faster cutting
ability.
Flush cutting blades are
intended to make precise cuts to
allow for installation of flooring or
wall material. When flush cutting
it is important not to force the tool during the
plunge cut. If you experience a strong vibration
in your hand during the plunge cut, this
indicates that you are applying too much
pressure. Back the tool out and let the speed
of the tool do the work. While keeping the teeth
of the blade in the work surface, move the
back of the tool in a slow sideways motion.
This motion will help expedite the cut.
When making a flush cut it is always a good
idea to have a piece of scrap material (tile or
wood) supporting the blade. If you need to rest
the flush cutting blade on a delicate surface,
you should protect the surface with cardboard
or masking tape.
The flat saw blade is ideal for
making precise cuts in wood,
plaster, drywall material.
Applications include cutting openings in
flooring for venting, repairing damaged
flooring, cutting openings for electrical boxes.
The blade works best on softer woods such as
pine. For harder woods, the blade life will be
limited.
Select a medium to high speed.
The flat saw blade can also be used for
window restoration making glazing easy to
remove. The saw blade can be placed directly
against the edge of the window frame, guiding
the blade through the glazing.
'$*)'"$+!
Grout removal blades are ideal
for removing damaged or
cracked grout. Grout blades
come in different widths (1/16" and 1/8") to
tackle different grout line widths. Before
selecting a grout blade measure the grout line
width to pick the appropriate blade.
Select a medium to high speed.
To remove the grout, use a back and forth
motion, making several passes along the grout
line. The hardness of the grout will dictate how
many passes are needed. Try and keep the
grout blade aligned with the grout line and be
careful not to apply too much side pressure on
the grout blade during the process. To control
plunge depth use the carbide grit line on the
blade as an indicator. Be careful not to plunge
beyond the carbide grit line to avoid damage to
the backer board material.
The grout blades can handle both sanded and
unsanded grout. If you notice the blade
clogging during the grout removal process, you
can use a brass brush to clean the grit, thus
exposing the grit again.
The grout blade geometry is designed so that
the blade can remove all grout up to the

surface of a wall or corner. This can be
accomplished by ensuring that the segmented
portion of the blade is facing the wall or corner.

Scrapers are suitable for removing old coats of
varnish or adhesives, removing bonded
carpeting, e.g. on stairs/steps and other
small/medium size surfaces.
Select low to medium speed.
Rigid scrapers are for large area
removal, and harder materials
such as vinyl flooring, carpeting
and tile adhesives. When

Flexible scrapers are used for
hard to reach areas and softer
material such as caulk.
Mount the scraper blade with the logo side
facing up. With the flexible scraper, make sure
that the screw head does not make contact
with surface during the scraping process (a 30
- 45 degree pitch is recommend). This can be
accomplished by making sure that the tool is at
an angle to the blade. You should be able to
see the blade flex during the scraping process.
If you are removing caulk from a delicate
surface such as a bath tub or tile back splash,
we recommend taping or protecting the
surface that the blade will rest on. Use rubbing
alcohol to clean the surface after the caulk
and/or adhesive is removed.
Turn the tool on and place desired accessory
on the area where material is to be removed.
Begin with light pressure. The oscillating
motion of accessory only occurs when
pressure is applied to the material to be
removed.
Excessive pressure can gouge or damage the
background surfaces (e.g,. wood, plaster).
(##
Sanding accessories are suitable
for dry sanding of wood, metal,
surfaces, corners and edges and
hard to reach areas.
Work with the complete surface of the sanding
pad, not only with the tip.
Corners may be finished using the tip or edge
of the selected accessory, which should
occasionally be rotated during use to distribute
the wear on the accessory and backing pad
surface.
Sand with a continuous motion and light
pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure -
let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure
will result in poor handling, vibration, and
unwanted sanding marks and premature wear
on the sanding sheet.
Always be certain that smaller workpieces are
securely fastened to a bench or other support.
Larger panels may be held in place by hand on
a bench or sawhorses.
Open-coat aluminum oxide sanding sheets are
recommended for most wood or metal sanding
applications, as this synthetic material cuts
quickly and wears well. Some applications,
such as metal finishing or cleaning, require
special abrasive pads which are available from
your dealer. For best results, use Dremel
sanding accessories which are of superior
quality and are carefully selected to produce
professional quality results with your oscillating
tool.
The following suggestions may be used as a
general guide for abrasive selection, but the
best results will be obtained by sanding a test
sample of the workpiece first.
A8C ??;820C8>=
Coarse For rough wood or metal
sanding, and rust or old
finish removal.
Medium For general wood or metal
sanding
Fine For final finishing of wood,
metal, plaster and other
surfaces.
With the workpiece firmly secured, turn tool on
as described above. Contact the work with the
tool after the tool has reached its full speed,
and remove it from the work before switching
the tool off. Operating your oscillating tool in
this manner will prolong switch and motor life,
and greatly increase the quality of your work.
Move the oscillating tool in long steady strokes
parallel to the grain using some lateral motion
to overlap the strokes by as much as 75%.
DO NOT apply excessive pressure - let the
tool do the work. Excessive pressure will result
in poor handling, vibration, and unwanted
sanding marks.
