GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- 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 or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD 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 mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, 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 power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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. 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 it 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 and 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.
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.
DO NOT WORK WITH MATERIALS CONTAINING ASBESTOS (asbestos is considered
carcinogenic)
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

USE
GETTING STARTED
In order to use the engraver, you must first install the engraver point. To
properly install the engraver point, loosen the set screw located in the
engraver point holder 4. Place the engraver point inside the point holder and
firmly tighten the set screw. It is important to make sure the engraver point
is held firmly in place by the set screw. To remove a worn out engraver point,
loosen the set screw and remove the engraver point 4. Replacement engraver
points may be purchased from your Dremel dealer.
ON/OFF
To use the engraver, turn the engraver “ON” by moving the on/off switch
located at the end of the tool 5.
HOLDING THE TOOL
Hold the engraver at a slight angle as you would normally hold a pencil. Hold
the unit lightly while resting your arm comfortably on a table. Do not press
down hard while engraving. Use a light touch guiding the point over the work
somewhat slower than you would normally write.
DEPTH OF ENGRAVING
The adjusting knob on the side of the engraver housing controls the stroke
length and therefore the depth of engraving 6. It is not intended to be used
as an “OFF” switch. A good “rule of thumb” is to select the lowest setting
which will produce a deep enough engraving mark to meet your requirements. To
familiarize yourself, experiment with different settings on scrap materials.
NOTE :
With extended use, the positive detent indicator associated with the depth
control knob will begin to wear down and be less noticeable. This is to be
expected and does not indicate malfunction of the engraver.
NOTE:
The engraver point furnished with your engraver is carbide steel. Do not
engrave on electronic media such as CDs, DVDs, etc. Engraving on these
materials may damage the media.

NOISE AND VIBRATION
Sound pressure level (standard deviation 3dB) dB(A) 86.0 Sound power level
(standard deviation 3dB) dB(A) Vibration (triax vector sum) m/s2 Vibration
uncertainty K m/s2
NOTE: The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another. It may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure. The vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared total value depending on the ways in which you use the tool. Make an estimation of the exposure in the actual conditions of use and identify the safety measures for personal protection accordingly (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
DISPOSAL
The tool, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-
friendly recycling.
ONLY FOR EC COUNTRIES 3
According the European Guideline 2012/19/EC for Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools
that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an
environmentally correct manner.
