WARNING
Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury
ImPORTANT SAFETy AND OPERATINg INSTRUCTIONS“SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS”
Battery/Charger
Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied your product or direct replacement as listed in the catalog or this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use only Dremel approved chargers with your product. See Functional Description and Specifications.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Replace damaged cord or plugs immediately. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or otherwise damaged, do not insert into charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Dremel approved rechargeable batteries. See Functional Description and Specifications. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage. Charge battery pack in temperatures above +32 degrees F (0 degrees C) and below
+113 degrees F (45 degrees C). Store tool and battery pack in locations where temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.
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 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 non-flammable surfaces and away from flammable materials when re-charging battery pack. The charger and battery pack heat during charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating surfaces block proper air circulation which may cause overheating of the charger and battery pack. If smoke or melting of the case are observed unplug the charger immediately and do not use the battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Dremel will result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.
Battery Care
** When batteries are not in tool or charger, keep them away from metal
objects. For example, to protect terminals from shorting DO NOT place
batteries in a tool box 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 Disposal
WARNING Do not attempt to disassemble the battery or remove any com ponent
projecting from the battery terminals. 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 environ mentally 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 programto 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
alterative to placing used Li-ion batteries into the trash or the munici pal
waste stream, which may be illegal in your area.
Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Li-ion battery recycling and disposal bans/restrictions in your area, or return your batteries to a Skil/Bosch/Dremel Service Center for recycling. Robert Bosch Tool Corporation’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.”
Extension Cords
WARNING
If an ex tension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors that
is capable of carrying the current necessary for your tool mus t be used.
This will p revent 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 heav i er the cord.

Charging Battery Pack (876 Hour Charger
Plug charger cord into your standard power outlet, then insert battery pack into charger. 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 mayrequire 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 pack back into the tool.
Charger Indicators, symbols and meaning
If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the charger is not receiving power from
power supply outlet.
If the green indicator light is “BLINKING”, the batterypack is being fast-
charged. Fast-charging will automatically stop when the battery pack is fully
charged.
If the green indicator light is “ON”, the cha rge r 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.
Important Charging Notes
- 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.
- 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.
- Remember to unplug charger during storage period.
- If battery does not charge properl
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, take or send tool, battery
pack and charger to your local Dremel Service Center. See “Tools, Electric” in
the Yellow Pages for names and addresses.
Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Dremel will void the
warrant
