• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating the power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. The use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care

• 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.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

Battery tool use and care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety Rules for Cordless Screwdrivers

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the fastener may contact hidden wiring. Fasteners contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Always turn off the power to an electrical circuit before working on anything that is or could be in contact with it, and place a note on the electrical panel to warn others not to turn it on. Failure to turn OFF the power source prior to installation/removal of cover plates or electrical products can result in electrical shock, fires, permanent injury, and/or death.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
• Do not drill, fasten, or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.
• Battery tools are always in an operative condition. Be aware of the possible hazards.
• Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool.
• Secure the workpiece, never hold it in your hand or across your legs. The drilling action may cause you to lose control of the workpiece and injury may occur.
• When installing a bit, insert the shank of the bit well within the collet. If the bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip of the collet over the bit is reduced and the loss of control is increased.
• Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side. A spinning bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result.
• Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,
• 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.

Charger Safety Rules

• This manual contains instructions for battery charger model 510. Do not substitute any other charger.
• Before using the battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) the battery charger, and (2) the product using the battery.
• Charge only Dremel GO. Other types of cordless tools may burst causing personal injury and damage.
• Charge tool in temperatures above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below +113 degrees F (45 degrees C). Store the tool in locations where temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
• Do not recharge the tool in a damp or wet environment. Do not expose the charger to rain or snow. Water entering the battery charger may result in electric shock or fire.
• Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with the skin, wash quickly with soap and water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.
• Place charger on flat nonflammable surfaces and away from flammable materials when recharging tool. Carpeting and other heat-insulating surfaces block proper air circulation, which may cause overheating of the charger and tool. If smoke or melting of the charger or tool is observed, unplug the charger immediately and do not use the tool or charger. Contact customer service immediately.
• Make sure the cord is located so that it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. A damaged plug and cord may result in electric shock or fire.
• Disconnect the charger by pulling the plug rather than the cord. Do not operate chargers with damaged cords or plugs; have them replaced immediately. A damaged plug or cord may result in electric shock or fire.
• Do not disassemble the charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.
• Before each use, check the battery charger, cable, and plug. If damage is detected, do not use the battery charger. Never open the battery charger yourself, take it to a Dremel Factory Service Center, or a qualified serviceman only using original spare parts. Incorrect reassembly may result in electric shock or fire.
• Do not use attachments not recommended or sold by Dremel. Using attachments not recommended may result in electric shock or fire.
• Unplug the tool from the charger when the battery in the tool is fully charged. A tool left plugged in the charger over a long period of time could lead to tool damage and fire.
• Unplug the charger from the outlet before storage, attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
• Keep the battery charger clean by blowing compressed air on charger vents and wiping the charger housing with a damp cloth. Contamination may result in electric shock or fire.
• Replace the battery pack if a substantial drop in operating time per charge is observed. The battery pack may be nearing the end of its life.

Battery Care

• When batteries are not in a tool or charger, keep them away from metal objects. For example, to protect terminals from shorting DO NOT place batteries in a toolbox or pocket with nails, screws, keys, etc. Fire or injury may result.
• DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR EXPOSE TO HIGH HEAT. They may explode.
• Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with the skin, wash quickly with soap and water. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.

Battery Disposal
Do not attempt to disassemble the tool or remove any component projecting from the tool. Fire or injury may result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.

Lithium-Ion Batteries
If equipped with a lithium-ion battery, the battery must be collected, recycled, or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner.

• “The EPA-certified RBRC Battery Recycling Seal on the lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery indicates Robert Bosch Tool Corporation is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Li-ion batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which may be illegal in your area.

Charging the Tool

CHARGING THE TOOL
Your Dremel GO does not come completely charged from the factory. Be sure to charge the tool prior to initial use.

• Insert USB cable 8 into the USB port of power adapter 9 (Fig. 1).
• Plug power adapter 9 into a standard power outlet.
• Open Micro USB port cover 6 and plug micro USB plug into Micro USB port 5.
• The battery charge indicator 3 indicates the charging progress. During the charging process, the indicator flashes green. The battery is fully charged when the indicator lights up green continuously.
• It is normal for the handle of the tool to get warm during charging.
• Note: The tool cannot be used during the charging process.
• When the battery is fully charged, disconnect the Micro USB end of cable 8 from the tool and close the cover 6.
• Unplug the power adapter from the power outlet (unless you are charging another tool).

BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR
The battery charge indicator 3 displays the charge level of the battery for a few seconds after the tool is switched on and off.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

• Lithium-ion battery will hold its charge while in storage for up to 2 years so it’s always ready when you need it.
• 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).
• 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. To replace an old battery, contact Dremel customer service at 1-800-4-DREMEL. The Dremel Service Center can install a new battery and ship it back to you within 48 hours of receiving your tool.
• If the battery does not charge properly:
  • Check for voltage at the outlet by plugging in some other electrical device.
  • Check to see if the outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power “off” when lights are turned off.
  • Check USB terminals for dirt. Clean with a cotton swab and alcohol if necessary.
  • Check to see if the USB cable is properly connected to the tool and the power adapter.
  • If you still do not get proper charging, send the tool and power adapter to your Dremel Service Center.

Note:
Use of power adapters or battery packs not sold by Dremel may void the warranty.

Operating Instructions

INSERTING BITS
Your tool is equipped with a bit holder 1. Simply push a bit 10 into the bit holder 1 as far as it will go (Fig. 1).

DIRECTION OF ROTATION

CAUTION:
To prevent damage to the tool, do not use the direction of the rotation switch while the power tool is in operation.

• Clockwise rotation: To drive screws in, slide the direction of rotation switch 2 down or forward to position A (Fig. 2).
• Counterclockwise rotation: To loosen or unscrew screws, slide the direction of rotation switch 2 up or backward to position B (Fig. 2).
• Locking the shaft in place: To lock the shaft (bit holder 1) in place, slide the direction of rotation switch 2 into the middle position C (Fig. 3). This enables screws to be screwed in manually, e.g. when the battery is depleted.

CAUTION:
To prevent accidental activation of the tool, slide the direction of the rotation switch to the middle (locked) position when storing or transporting the tool.

SETTING THE TORQUE
The required torque can be set in one of six positions using the torque selector 4. The tool will stop as soon as the set torque is reached.

• Position 1: Lower torque for screwing in screws with small diameter or into soft materials.
• Position 6: Higher torque for screwing in screws with large diameter or into hard materials.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE TOOL
To start the power tool, put pressure on the bit holder 1 and maintain this pressure to continue using the power tool. To switch the tool off, stop putting pressure on the bit holder 1.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS

• The procedure shown in Figure 4 will enable you to fasten materials together with your Cordless Screwdriver without stripping, splitting, or separating the material.
• First, clamp the pieces together and drill the first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the material is soft, drill only 2/3 of the proper length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.
• Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the second hole the same diameter as the screw shank in the first or top piece of wood.

Third, if a flat-head screw is used, countersink the hole to make the screw flush with the surface. Then, simply apply even pressure when driving the screw. The screw shank clearance hole in the first piece allows the screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.

TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT OVERLOAD PROTECTION
When used as intended, the power tool cannot be subject to overload. When the load is too high or the allowable battery temperature is exceeded, the electronic control switches off the power tool until the temperature is in the optimum temperature range again.

PROTECTION AGAINST DEEP DISCHARGING
The lithium-ion battery is protected against deep discharging by “Electronic Cell Protection (ECP)”. When the battery is empty, the machine is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The tool no longer rotates.

Maintenance

Service
NO USER SERVICE-ABLE PARTS INSIDE.

Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazards. We recommend that all tool services be performed by a Dremel Service Center.

WARNING:

SERVICEMEN:
Disconnect the tool and/or charger from the power source before servicing.

BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their end of life. If you notice decreased tool performance or significantly shorter running time between charges then it is time to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so can cause the tool to operate improperly or damage the charger.

Cleaning

WARNING:
To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool and/or charger from the power supply before cleaning. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air. Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through the opening.

CAUTION:
Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia, and household detergents that contain ammonia.

Extension Cords

WARNING:
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate-size conductors that are capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.

NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
