Operating Instructions
Dremel Micro - Introduction
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.
1-Precise
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
LED lights to illuminate the work piece for
better visibility. Portability is another benefit of
the compact design. Its small size and light
weight offer the freedom to take the Dremel
Micro anywhere.
3-Versatile
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.
Rotary Tool Introduction
The Rotary Tool has a small, powerful
electric motor, is comfortable 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. Youll see dozens of uses
you hadnt 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 highspeed, low torque tool. The major difference
to the user is that in the high speed tools, the
speed combined with the accessory mounted
in the collet does the work. You dont apply
pressure to the tool, but simply hold and
2-Powerful
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

CORRECT:
Wire tips doing the work.
INCORRECT:
Excessive pressure can cause wire breakage.
Sanding Accessories
Sanding discs in fine, medium and coarse
grades are made to fit mandrel No. 402 and
EZ407. They can be used for nearly any small
sanding job you might have, from model
making to fine furniture finishing. In addition,
there is the drum sander, a tiny drum which fits
into the Rotary Tool and makes it possible to
shape wood, smooth fiberglass, sand inside
curves and other difficult places, and other
sanding jobs. You replace the sanding bands
on the drum as they become worn and lose
their grit. Bands come in fine medium and
coarse grades. Flapwheels grind and polish flat
or contoured surfaces. They are used most
effectively as a finishing sander after heavier
surface sanding and material removal is
completed. Flapwheels come in fine and
coarse grades. Buffs are a great finishing
accessory for cleaning and light sanding. They
work effectively on metal, glass, wood,
aluminum and plastics. Coarse and medium
buffs are sold together. All buffs are sold
individually. Do not exceed 15,000 RPM in
speed. 1/8" shank.
Polishing Accessories
These include an impregnated polishing point
and an impregnated polishing wheel for
bringing metal surfaces to smooth finish; a felt
polishing tip and felt polishing wheel, and cloth
polishing wheel, all used for polishing plastics,
metals, jewelry and small parts. Also included
in this group is a polishing compound (No. 421)
for use with the felt and cloth polishers.
Polishing points make a very smooth surface,
but a high luster is obtained using felt or cloth
wheels and polishing compound. For best
results polishing accessories should be
used at speeds not greater than 15,000
RPM.
No polishing compound is needed when using
the 425 Polishing Wheel.
Bristle Brushes
These are excellent cleaning tools on
silverware, jewelry and antiques. The three
shapes make it possible to get into tight
corners and other difficult places. Bristle
brushes can be used with polishing compound
for faster cleaning or polishing.

Wire Brushes
Three different shapes of wire brushes are
available. For best results wire brushes
should be used at speeds not greater than
15,000 RPM. Refer to Operating Speeds
section for proper tool speed setting. The
three shapes come in three different materials:
stainless steel, brass and carbon wire. The
stainless steel perform well on pewter,
aluminum, stainless steel, and other metals,
without leaving "after-rust". Brass brushes are
non sparking, and softer than steel; making
them good for use on soft metal like gold,
cooper and brass. The carbon wire brushes
are good for general purpose cleaning.

release the on/off blue button. The tool will
start working at a speed of 15,000 rpm and
the frontal LED light will turn on, If the on/off
button is pressed but not released the tool

COLLETS
If you expect to use a variety of accessories,
we recommend that in the beginning you
purchase a complete set of four collets. Store
these so that you will have the proper size of
collet for any accessory or drill bit you want to
use. Currently, the 1/8", 3/32",1/32" and
1/16" collets accommodate all of the available Dremel accessories. 1/8" collets are
included in most rotary tool kits.
MANDRELS
A mandrel is a shank with a threaded or screw
head, which are required when you use
polishing accessories, cutting wheels, sanding
discs, and pol ish ing points. The reason
mandrels are used is that sanding discs,
cutting wheels and similar accessories must be
replaced frequently. The mandrel is a permanent shank, allowing you to replace only the
worn head when necessary, thus saving the
expense of replacing the shaft each time.
Engraving Cutters
This group has a wide variety of sizes and
shapes, and are made for intricate work on
ceramics (greenware), wood carvings, jewelry
and scrimshaw. They often are used in making
complicat ed printed circuit boards. They
should not be used on steel and other very
hard materials but are excellent on wood,
plastic and soft metals. 1/8" shank.
