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 Ground Fault Circuit

Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of

an 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.

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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

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 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. 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

b

efore 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.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces, when performing an operation

where the cutting accessory may contact

hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting

accessory contacting a "live" wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"

and could give the operator an electric

shock.

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.

Use a metal detector to determine if there

are gas or water pipes hidden in the work

area or call the local utility company for

assistance before beginning the operation.

Striking or cutting into a gas line will result in

explosion. Water entering an electrical device

may cause electrocution.

Always hold the tool firmly with both hands

for maximum control. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected

situations.

Keep hands away from cutting area. Do

not reach under the material being cut. The

proximity of the blade to your hand is hidden

from your sight.

D

o not use dull or damaged blades. Bent

blade can break easily or cause kickback.

Exercise extreme caution when handling

the accessories. The accessories are very

sharp.

Wear protective gloves when changing

cutting accessories. Accessories become

hot after prolonged usage.

Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the

exposure time by taking frequent rest

periods. Vibration caused by the tool may be

harmful to the hands and arms.

Before scraping, check workpiece for nails.

If there are nails, either remove them or set

them well below intended finished surface.

Striking a nail with accessory edge could

cause the tool to jump.

Do not wet sand with this tool. Liquids

entering the motor housing is an electrical

shock hazard.

Never work in area which is soaked with a

liquid, such as a solvent or water, or

dampened such as newly applied

wallpaper. There is an electrical shock

hazard when working in such conditions with a

power tool and heating of the liquid caused by

scraping action may cause harmful vapors to

be emitted from workpiece.

Always wear eye protection and a dust

mask for dusty applications and when

sanding overhead. Sanding particles can be

absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily

and may cause health complications.

Use special precautions when sanding

chemically pressure treated lumber, paint

that may be lead based, or any other

materials that may contain carcinogens. A

suitable breathing respirator and protective

clothing must be worn by all persons entering

the work area. Work area should be sealed by

plastic sheeting and persons not protected

should be kept out until work area is

thoroughly cleaned.

Do not use sandpaper intended for larger

sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend

beyond the sanding pad causing snagging,

tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper

extending beyond the sanding pad can also

cause serious lacerations.

Additional Safety Warnings

Always inspect blade for damage

(breakage, cracks) before each use. Never

use if damage is suspected.

GFCI and personal protection devices like

electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will

further enhance your personal safety.

Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC

power supply. While the tool may appear to

work, the electrical components of the AC

rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard

to the operator.

Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil

and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely

control the power tool.

Develop a periodic maintenance schedule

for your tool. When cleaning a tool be

careful not to disassemble any portion of

the tool since internal wires may be

misplaced or pinched or safety guard return

springs may be improperly mounted.

Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline,

carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may

damage plastic parts.

Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only

be serviced by a Dremel Service Facility.

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.

Operating Instructions

LEARNING TO USE THE TOOL

Getting the most out of your oscillating tool is a

matter of learning how to let the speed and the

feel of the tool in your hands work for you.

The first step in learning to use the tool is to

get the “feel” of it. Hold it in your hand and feel

its weight and balance (Fig. 7). Depending on

the application, you will need to adjust your

hand position to achieve optimum comfort and

control. The unique comfort grip on the body of

the tool allows for added comfort and control

during use.

FIG. 7

INSTALLING AND REMOVING

SANDING SHEETS

Your backing pad uses hook-and-loop backed

sandpaper, which firmly grips the backing pad

when applied with moderate pressure.

1. Align the sanding sheet and press it onto

the sanding plate by hand.

2. Firmly press the power tool with the

sanding sheet against a flat surface and

briefly switch the power tool on. This will

promote good adhesion and helps to

prevent premature wear.

3. To change, merely peel off the old sanding

sheet, remove dust from the backing pad if

necessary, and press the new sanding

sheet in place.

After considerable service the backing pad

surface will become worn, and the backing pad

must be replaced when it no longer offers a

firm grip. If you are experiencing premature

wear out of the backing pad facing, decrease

the amount of pressure you are applying

during operation of the tool.

For maximum use of abrasive, rotate pad 120

degrees when tip of abrasive becomes worn.

When holding tool, do not cover the air vents

with your hand. Blocking the air vents could

cause the motor to overheat.

IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material first

to see how the tool’s high-speed action

performs. Keep in mind that your tool will

perform best by allowing the speed, along with

the correct accessory, do the work for you. Be

careful not to apply too much pressure.

Instead, lower the oscillating accessory lightly

to the work surface and allow it to touch the

point at which you want to begin. Concentrate

on guiding the tool over the work using very

little pressure from your hand. Allow the

accessory to do the work.

Usually it is better to make a series of passes

with the tool rather than to do the entire job

with one pass. To make a cut, for example,

pass the tool back and forth over the work. Cut

a little material on each pass until you reach

the desired depth.

SLIDE "ON/OFF" SWITCH

The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch

located on the topside of the motor housing.

TO TURN THE TOOL "ON", slide the switch

button forward.

TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF", slide the switch

button backward.

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL DIAL

This tool is equipped with a variable speed

control dial (Fig. 7). The speed may be

controlled during operation by presetting the

dial in any one of ten positions.

OPERATING SPEEDS

The Dremel Multi-Max™ consists of an AC

universal motor and oscillating mechanism to

perform applications such as cutting, grout

removal, scraping, sanding and more.

The Dremel Multi-Max™ has a high

oscillating motion of 10,000 - 21,000 /min

(OPM). The high speed motion allows the

Dremel Multi-Max™ to achieve with excellent

results. The oscillating motion allows the dust

to fall to the surface rather than slinging

particles into the air.

To achieve the best results when working

with different materials, set the variable

speed control to suit the job (See Speed

Chart on Page 13 & 14 for guidance). To

select the right speed for the accessory in

use, practice with scrap material first.

NOTE: Speed is affected by voltages

changes. A reduced incoming voltage will

slow the OPM of the tool, especially at the

lowest setting. If your tool appears to be

running slowly, increase the speed setting

accordingly. The tool may not start at the

lowest switch setting in areas where outlet

voltage is less than 120 volts. Simply move

the speed setting to a higher position to

begin operation.

The variable speed control settings are

marked on the speed control dial. The

settings for approximate speed range /min

(OPM) are:

You can refer to the charts on the following

pages to determine the proper speed, based

on the material and accessory being used.

These charts enable you to select both the

correct accessory and the optimum speed at a

glance.

CUTTING

Saw blades are ideal for making precise cuts

in tight areas, close to edges or flush to a

surface.

Select a medium to high speed for making

initial plunge, start off at medium speed for

increased control. After making your initial cut,

you can increase speed for faster cutting

ability.

Flush cutting blades are

intended to make precise cuts to

allow for installation of flooring or

wall material. When flush cutting

it is important not to force the tool during the

plunge cut. If you experience a strong vibration

in your hand during the plunge cut, this

indicates that you are applying too much

pressure. Back the tool out and let the speed

of the tool do the work. While keeping the teeth

of the blade in the work surface, move the

back of the tool in a slow sideways motion.

This motion will help expedite the cut.

When making a flush cut it is always a good

idea to have a piece of scrap material (tile or

wood) supporting the blade. If you need to rest

the flush cutting blade on a delicate surface,

you should protect the surface with cardboard

or masking tape.

The flat saw blade is ideal for

making precise cuts in wood,

plaster, drywall material.

Applications include cutting openings in flooring

for venting, repairing damaged flooring, cutting

openings for electrical boxes. The blade works

best on softer woods such as pine. For harder

woods, the blade life will be limited.

Select a medium to high speed.

The flat saw blade can also be used for

window restoration making glazing easy to

remove. The saw blade can be placed directly

against the edge of the window frame, guiding

the blade through the glazing.

Panel Cutting Accessory

Model VC490

The panel blade has been

designed for making straight

cuts in sheet materials, such as

plywood, drywall and cement

board up to ¾” thick. (Refer to chart for cutting

depths.) For best results, this blade should be

used with the tools control foot in the open

position. This blade has a more rigid design to

help improve accuracy and control when

making these types of cuts. When making

cuts in sheet materials it is important not to

force the tool during the cut. If you experience

strong vibration in your hand during the cut,

this indicates that you are applying too much

pressure. Back the tool out of the cut and let

the speed of the tool do the work.

Pipe and 2x4 Cutting Accessory

Model VC494

The pipe and 2x4 cutting blade

has been designed to cut

through thick materials, such as

a 2x4, as well as tubing, such as

conduit, copper and PVC piping.

GROUT REMOVAL

Grout removal blades are ideal for

removing damaged or cracked

grout. Grout blades come in

different widths (1/16" and 1/8") to tackle

different grout line widths. Before selecting a

grout blade measure the grout line width to

pick the appropriate blade.

Select a medium to high speed.

To remove the grout, use a back and forth

motion, making several passes along the grout

line. The hardness of the grout will dictate how

many passes are needed. Try and keep the

grout blade aligned with the grout line and be

careful not to apply too much side pressure on

the grout blade during the process. To control

plunge depth use the carbide grit line on the

blade as an indicator. Be careful not to plunge

beyond the carbide grit line to avoid damage to

the backer board material.

The grout blades can handle both sanded and

unsanded grout. If you notice the blade

clogging during the grout removal process, you

can use a brass brush to clean the grit, thus

exposing the grit again.

The grout blade geometry is designed so that

the blade can remove all grout up to the

surface of a wall or corner. This can be

accomplished by ensuring that the segmented

portion of the blade is facing the wall or corner.

SCRAPING

Scrapers are suitable for removing old coats of

varnish or adhesives, removing bonded

carpeting, e.g. on stairs/steps and other

small/medium size surfaces.

Select low to medium speed.

Rigid scrapers are for large area

removal, and harder materials

such as vinyl flooring, carpeting

and tile adhesives. When

removing strong, tacky adhesives, grease the

scraper blade surface with (petroleum jelly

or silicone grease) to reduce gumming up.

The carpet/vinyl flooring removes easier if

it is scored prior to removal so the scraper

blade can move underneath the flooring

material.

Flexible scrapers are used for

hard to reach areas and softer

material such as caulk.

Mount the scraper blade with the logo side

facing up. With the flexible scraper, make sure

that the screw head does not make contact

with surface during the scraping process (a 30

- 45 degree pitch is recommend). This can be

accomplished by making sure that the tool is at

an angle to the blade. You should be able to

see the blade flex during the scraping process.

If you are removing caulk from a delicate

surface such as a bath tub or tile back splash,

we recommend taping or protecting the

surface that the blade will rest on. Use rubbing

alcohol to clean the surface after the caulk

and/or adhesive is removed.

Turn the tool on and place desired accessory

on the area where material is to be removed.

Begin with light pressure. The oscillating

motion of accessory only occurs when

pressure is applied to the material to be

removed.

Excessive pressure can gouge or damage the

background surfaces (e.g,. wood, plaster).

SANDING

Sanding accessories are suitable

for dry sanding of wood, metal,

surfaces, corners and edges and

hard to reach areas.

Work with the complete surface of the sanding

pad, not only with the tip.

Corners may be finished using the tip or edge

of the selected accessory, which should

occasionally be rotated during use to distribute

the wear on the accessory and backing pad

surface.

Sand with a continuous motion and light

pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure -

let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure

will result in poor handling, vibration, and

unwanted sanding marks and premature wear

on the sanding sheet.

Always be certain that smaller workpieces are

securely fastened to a bench or other support.

Larger panels may be held in place by hand on

a bench or sawhorses.

Open-coat aluminum oxide sanding sheets are

recommended for most wood or metal sanding

applications, as this synthetic material cuts

quickly and wears well. Some applications,

such as metal finishing or cleaning, require

special abrasive pads which are available from

your dealer. For best results, use Dremel

sanding accessories which are of superior

quality and are carefully selected to produce

professional quality results with your oscillating

tool.

The following suggestions may be used as a

general guide for abrasive selection, but the

best results will be obtained by sanding a test

sample of the workpiece first.

Grit Application

Coarse For rough wood or metal

sanding, and rust or old

finish removal.

Medium For general wood or metal

sanding

Fine For final finishing of wood,

metal, plaster and other

surfaces.

With the workpiece firmly secured, turn tool on

as described above. Contact the work with the

tool after the tool has reached its full speed,

and remove it from the work before switching

the tool off. Operating your oscillating tool in

this manner will prolong switch and motor life,

and greatly increase the quality of your work.

Move the oscillating tool in long steady strokes

parallel to the grain using some lateral motion

to overlap the strokes by as much as 75%.

DO NOT apply excessive pressure - let the

tool do the work. Excessive pressure will result

in poor handling, vibration, and unwanted

sanding marks.

GRINDING

The diamond paper accessory

allows for the Multi-Max™ to be

used for grinding away cement,

plaster or thin set. Preparing the surface for tile

replacement is a common application for this

accessory.

The diamond paper needs to be mounted to

the backing pad prior to use.

Select a low to high speed depending on the

material removal rate desired.

The carbide rasp accessory also

allows the Multi-Max™ to grind

away cement, thinset mortar,

plaster, and also wood. This accessory is

commonly used to prepare for tile replacement

or rasping wood to smooth a surface or

remove material.

The speed should be set at high speed for

aggressive material removal or at low speed

for a more detailed removal of material.

Do not apply excessive pressure on the tool-let

it do the work.

Corners may be finished using the tip or edge

of the selected accessory, which should

occasionally be rotated during use to distribute

the wear on the accessory and backing pad

surface.

Grind with a continuous motion and light

pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure -

let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure

will result in poor handling, vibration, and

premature wear on the diamond paper sheet.

Veuillez lire tous les avertissements et toutes les consignes de sécurité. Si

l'on n'observe pas ces avertissements et ces consignes de sécurité, il existe un

risque de choc électrique, d'incendie et/ou de blessures corporelles graves.

CONSERVEZ TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES CONSIGNES

DE SÉCURITÉ POUR RÉFÉRENCE FUTURE.

Dans les avertissements, le terme « outil électroportatif » se rapporte à votre outil branché sur le secteur (avec fil) ou

à votre outil alimenté par piles (sans fil).

Avertissements généraux concernant la sécurité des outils électroportatifs

Sécurité du lieu de travail

Maintenez le lieu de travail propre et bien éclairé.

Les risques d’accident sont plus élevés quand on

travaille dans un endroit encombré ou sombre.

N’utilisez pas d’outils électroportatifs dans des

atmosphères explosives, comme par exemple en

présence de gaz, de poussières ou de liquides

inflammables. Les outils électroportatifs produisent

des étincelles qui risquent d’enflammer les poussières

ou les vapeurs.

Éloignez les enfants et les visiteurs quand vous vous

servez d’un outil électroportatif. Vous risquez une

perte de contrôle si on vous distrait.

Sécurité électrique

Les fiches des outils électroportatifs doivent

correspondre à la prise. Il ne faut absolument jamais

modifier la fiche. N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur de prise

avec des outils électroportatifs munis d’une fiche de

terre. Le risque de choc électrique est moindre si on

utilise une fiche non modifiée sur une prise qui lui

correspond.

Évitez tout contact du corps avec des surfaces reliées

à la terre tels que tuyaux, radiateurs, gazinières ou

réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique augmente

si votre corps est relié à la terre.

N’exposez pas les outils électroportatifs à la pluie ou

à l’humidité. Si de l’eau pénètre dans un outil

électroportatif, le risque de choc électrique augmente.

Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne vous en servez

jamais pour transporter l’outil électroportatif, pour le

tirer ou pour le débrancher. Éloignez le cordon de la

chaleur, des huiles, des arêtes coupantes ou des

pièces mobiles. Les cordons abîmés ou emmêlés

augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

Si vous utilisez un outil électroportatif à l’extérieur,

employez une rallonge conçue pour l’extérieur. Ces

rallonges sont faites pour l’extérieur et réduisent le

risque de choc électrique.

S'il est absolument nécessaire d'utiliser l'outil

électroportatif dans un endroit humide, utilisez une

alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur de fuite de

terre (GFCI). L'utilisation d'un disjoncteur GFCI réduit

les risques de choc électrique.

Sécurité personnelle

Restez concentré, faites attention à ce que vous

faites, et servez-vous de votre bon sens lorsque vous

utilisez un outil électroportatif. N'employez pas

d’outils électroportatifs quand vous êtes fatigué ou

sous l’emprise de drogues, d’alcool ou de

médicaments. Quand on utilise des outils
