Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or
any other accessory. Pinching or snagging
causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power
tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged
or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the
wheel that is entering into the pinch point can
dig into the surface of the material causing the
wheel to climb out or kickout. The wheel may
either jump toward or away from the operator,
depending on direction of the wheels
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive
wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking proper
precautions as given below.

3<1=@54 These wheels will grab if they
become slightly canted in the groove, and can
kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the
wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file,
high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter
grabs, it may jump from the groove and you
could lose control of the tool.

To loosen the collet nut, first press shaft lock
button and rotate the shaft by hand until the
lock engages the shaft preventing further
rotation. Your Dremel Micro is equipped with
a shaft lock mechanism. This mechanism
engages the output shaft in 2 separate
locations on the shaft for easier operation.

With the shaft lock engaged, use the collet
wrench to loosen the collet nut if necessary.
The collet nut must be loosely threaded on
when inserting an accessory. Change
accessories by inserting the new one into the
collet as far as possible to minimize runout
and unbalance. With the shaft lock engaged,
finger tighten the collet nut until the
accessory shank is gripped by the collet.

Four different size collets (see illus tration), to
accommodate different shank sizes, are
avail able for your Rotary Tool. To install a
different collet, remove the collet nut and
remove the old collet. Insert the unslotted
end of the collet in the hole in the end of the
tool shaft. Replace collet nut on the shaft.

For precision work, it is important that all
accessories be in good balance (much the
same as the tires on your automobile). To
true up or balance an accessory, slightly
loosen collet nut and give the accessory or
collet a 1/4 turn. Re tighten collet nut and run
the Rotary Tool. You should be able to tell by
the sound and feel if your accessory is
running in balance. Continue adjusting in this
fashion until best balance is achieved. To
maintain balance on abrasive wheel points,
before each use, with the wheel point
secured in the collet, turn on the Rotary Tool
and run the 415 Dressing Stone lightly
against the revolving wheel point. This
removes high spots and trues up the wheel
point for good balance.

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.
'B539C5
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

better visibility. Portability is another benefit of
the compact design. Its small size and light

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.

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.

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

guide it. In the low speed tools, you not only
guide the tool, but also apply pressure to it,
as you do, for example, when drilling a hole.
It is this high speed, along with its compact
size and wide variety of special accessories,
that makes the Rotary Tool differ ent from other
tools. The speed enables it to do jobs low
speed tools cannot do, such as cutting
hardened steel, en graving glass, etc.
Getting the most out of your Rotary Tool is a
matter of learning how to let this speed work
for you. To learn about more uses and the
versatility of Dremel accessories and
attachments refer to this Owner's Manual or

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.
Always hold the tool
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.

For best control in close work, grip the Rotary
Tool like a pencil between your thumb and
forefinger (Figure 4).
The “Golf Grip method of holding the tool
can be used for more aggressive operations
such as grinding a flat surface or using cutoff
wheels (Figure 5).
Practice on scrap materials first to see how
the Rotary Tool's high speed action performs.
Keep in mind that the work is done by the
speed of the tool and by the accessory in the
collet. You should not lean on or push the
tool during use.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly
to the work and allow it to touch the point at
which you want cutting (or sanding or
etching, etc.) to begin. Con centrate on
guiding the tool over the work using very little
pressure from your hand. Allow the
accessory to do the work.
Usually, it is best to make a series of passes
with the tool rather than attempt to do all the
work in one pass. To make a cut, for
example, pass the tool back and forth over
the work, much as you would a small paint
brush. Cut a little material on each pass until
you reach the desired depth. For most work,
the gentle touch is best. With it, you have the
best control, are less likely to make errors,
and will get the most effi cient work out of the
accessory.

Your tool is equipped with an internal
electronic monitoring system that helps to
maximize motor and battery performance by
limiting the current to the tool when overload
and stall conditions occur. If you stall the tool
for too long, or bind the bit in a work piece,
especially at high speeds, the tool will
automatically turn itself off thanks to the
fallback built into it. Once this happens,
simply take the tool out of the material you
were stalled in, turn it back on again, adjust
the speed if necessary, and continue using it.
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 tool.

Your Dremel Micro is equipped with speed
control buttons. The speed may be adjusted
during operation by pressing on the plus (+)
or (-) minus blue buttons located on the
topside of the battery housing. Speed will
increment or decrement by 5,000 rpm from a
minimum of 5,000 to a maximum of 28,000
rpm. The LED lights located alongside the
blue buttons will illuminate according to the
chosen speed. Every time the tool is turned
off the speed set goes back to the medium
level (15,000 rpm) so it might be necessary
to increase/decrease the speed to the level
that it was being used (e.g. 28,000 rpm)
before the tool was turned off to keep
working on the same application.
You can refer to the charts on pages 27–30
to determine the proper speed, based on the
material being worked and the type of
accessory being used. These charts enable
you to select both the correct accessory and
the optimum speed at a glance.

Certain materials, however, (some plastics and
precious metals, for ex ample) require a
relatively slow speed because at high speed
the friction of the accessory generates heat
and may cause damage to the material.
Slow speeds (15,000 RPM or less) usually are
best for polishing operations employing the felt
polishing ac ces sories. They may also be best
for working on deli cate projects as “eggery
work, delicate wood carving and fragile model
parts. << 2BEC89>7 1@@<931D9?>C B5AE9B5

Higher speeds are better for carving, cutting,
shaping, cutting dadoes or rabbets in wood.
Hardwoods, metals and glass require high
speed operation, and drilling should also be
done at high speeds.
Many applications and accessories in our line
will provide the best performance at full speed,
but for certain materials, applications, and
accessories, you need slower speeds, which is
the reason our variable speed models are
available.
To aid you in determining the optimum
operational speed for differ ent materials and
different accessories, we have construct ed a
series of tables that appear on page 23, 24, 25
and 26. By referring to these tables, you can
discover the recommended speeds for each
type of accessory. Look these tables over and
become familiar with them.
Ultimately, the best way to determine the
correct speed for work on any material is to
practice for a few minutes on a piece of scrap,
even after referring to the chart. You can
quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is
more effective just by observing what hap pens
as you make a pass or two at different speeds.
When working with plastic, for example, start
at a slow rate of speed and increase the speed
until you observe that the plastic is melting at
the point of contact. Then reduce the speed
slight ly to get the optimum working speed.
Some rules of thumb in regard to speed:
1. Plastic and other materials that melt at low
temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
2. Polishing, buffing and cleaning with any
type of bristle brush must be done at speeds
not greater than 15,000 RPM to prevent
damage to the brush from bristles flying
toward operator.
3. Wood should be cut at high speed.
4. Iron or steel should be cut at high speed. If
a high speed steel cutter starts to chatter —
this normally means it is running too slow.
5. Aluminum, copper alloys, lead alloys, zinc
alloys and tin may be cut at various speeds,
depending on the type of cutting being
done. Use paraffin or other suitable
lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut
material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
Increasing the pressure on the tool is not the
answer when it is not performing as you think it
should. Perhaps you should be using a
different accessory, and perhaps an
adjustment in speed would solve the problem.
Leaning on the tool does not help.
Your Dremel Micro can be used with all of the
Dremel accessories, except router bits. While
the tool will work with cut-off wheels, the
reduced speed of this tool will not allow them
to perform optimally. They can be used to cut
soft materials such as wood or plastic, but
cutting metals is not recommended. The Micro
tool cannot be used with any of the Dremel line
of attachments (attachments screw on to the
nose of a rotary tool.)
