GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Before using the Dremel Driver, make sure you read and
understand this manual completely.
!
WARNING
listed below may result in electric shock, fi re and/or serious
injury. The term "power tool" in all of the warnings listed below
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
a. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark
areas increase the risk of accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating the tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the
plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. Do not use the charger when the cord or plug are damaged;
the cord or plug should be replaced immediately at a
certifi ed Dremel Service Centre.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as a dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow all instructions
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your
fi nger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before switching on
the power tool. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h. Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is
considered carcinogenic).
i. Take protective measures when during work dust can
develop that is harmful to one's health, combustible or
explosive (some dusts are considered carcinogenic); wear
a dust mask and work with dust/ chip extraction when
connectable.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the on-/off-switch does not
work. Any power tool that cannot be controlled by the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect operation of the power tool. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations other than
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Ensure the switch is in the off position before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
