1. Work area safety

a. Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b. 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.

c. Keep children and bystanders away

while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

2. Electrical safety

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric

shock.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. If operating the power tool in damp

locations is unavoidable, use a Ground

Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI)

protected supply. Use of an GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a. 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.

b. Use personal protective equipment.

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.

3

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.

c. 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.

d. 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.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in

unexpected situations.

f. 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.

g. 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.

4. Power tool use and care

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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.

d. 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.

e. 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.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.

Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind

and are easier to control.

g. 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.

5. Battery tool use and care

a. 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.

b. Use power tools only with specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any

other battery packs may create a risk of

injury and fire.

c. When 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.

d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery, avoid contact.

If contact accidentally occurs, flush with

water. If liquid contacts eyes,

additionally seek medical help. Liquid

ejected from the battery may cause

irritation or burns.

6. Service

a. 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.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

4

Safety warnings common for

grinding, sanding, wire

brushing, polishing, carving

or abrasive cutting-off

operations:

a. This power tool is intended to function

as a grinder, sander, wire brush,

polisher, carving or cut-off tool. Read all

safety warnings, instructions,

illustrations and specifications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

b. Do not use accessories which are not

specifically designed and recommended

by the tool manufacturer. Just because

the accessory can be attached to your

power tool, it does not assure safe

operation.

c. The rated speed of the accessories must

be at least equal to the operating speed

setting marked on the power tool.

Accessories running faster than their

rated speed can break and fly apart.

d. The outside diameter and the thickness

of your accessory must be within the

capacity rating of your power tool.

Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be

adequately controlled.

e. The arbor size of wheels, sanding drums

or any other accessory must properly fit

the spindle or collet of the power tool.

Accessories that do not match the

mounting hardware of the power tool will

run out of balance, vibrate excessively

and may cause loss of control.

f. Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding

drums, cutters or other accessories

must be fully inserted into the collet or

chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held

and/or the overhang of the wheel is too

long, the mounted wheel may become

loose and be ejected at high velocity.

g. Do not use a damaged accessory. Before

each use inspect the accessory such as

abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,

sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess

wear, wire brush for loose or cracked

wires. If power tool or accessory is

dropped, inspect for damage or install

an undamaged accessory. After

inspecting and installing an accessory,

position yourself and bystanders away

from the plane of the rotating accessory

and run the power tool at maximum no-

load speed for one minute. Damaged

accessories will normally break apart

during this test time.

h. Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face

shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.

As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing

protectors, gloves and workshop apron

capable of stopping small abrasive or

workpiece fragments. The eye

protection must be capable of stopping

flying debris generated by various

operations. The dust mask or respirator

must be capable of filtrating particles

generated by your operation. Prolonged

exposure to high intensity noise may

cause hearing loss.

i. Keep bystanders a safe distance away

from work area. Anyone entering the

work area must wear personal

protective equipment. Fragments of

workpiece or of a broken accessory may

fly away and cause injury beyond

immediate area of operation.

j. Hold power tool by insulated gripping

surfaces only, when performing an

operation where the cutting accessory

may contact hidden wiring. Cutting

accessory contacting a “live” wire may

make exposed metal parts of the power

tool “live” and could give the operator an

electric shock.

k. Always hold the tool firmly in your

hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction

torque of the motor, as it accelerates to

full speed, can cause the tool to twist.

l. Use clamps to support workpiece

whenever practical. Never hold a small

workpiece in one hand and the tool in

the other hand while in use. Clamping a

small workpiece allows you to use your

hand(s) to control the tool. Round

material such as dowel rods, pipes or

tubing have a tendency to roll while being

cut, and may cause the bit to bind or

jump toward you.

m. Position the cord clear of the spinning

accessory. If you lose control, the cord

may be cut or snagged and your hand or

arm may be pulled into the spinning

accessory.

n. Never lay the power tool down until the

accessory has come to a complete stop.

The spinning accessory may grab the

surface and pull the power tool out of

your control.

o. After changing the bits or making any

adjustments, make sure the collet nut,

Safety Rules for Rotary Tools

5

Safety Rules for Rotary Tools

chuck or any other adjustment devices

are securely tightened. Loose adjustment

devices can unexpectedly shift, causing

loss of control, loose rotating

components will be violently thrown.

p. Do not run the power tool while carrying

it at your side. Accidental contact with

the spinning accessory could snag your

clothing, pulling the accessory into your

body.

q. Regularly clean the power tool’s air

vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust

inside the housing and excessive

accumulation of powdered metal may

cause electrical hazards.

r. Do not operate the power tool near

flammable materials. Sparks could ignite

these materials.

s. Do not use accessories that require

liquid coolants. Using water or other

liquid coolants may result in electrocution

or shock.

t. Use only in well-ventilated area. Working

in a safe environment reduces risk of

injury.

u. Allow for sufficient space, at least 6”,

between your hand and the spinning bit.

Do not reach in the area of the spinning

bit. The proximity of the spinning bit to

your hand may not always be obvious.

v. Do not touch the bit or collet after use.

After use the bit and collet are too hot to

be touched by bare hands.

w. Do not alter or misuse tool. Any

alteration or modification is a misuse and

may result in serious personal injury.

x. This product is not intended for use as a

dental drill, in human or veterinary

medical applications. Serious injury may

result.

Kickback and Related

Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched

or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad,

brush or any other accessory. Pinching or

snagging causes rapid stalling of the

rotating accessory which in turn causes the

uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the

direction opposite of the accessory’s

rotation.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is

snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the

edge of the wheel that is entering into the

pinch point can dig into the surface of the

material causing the wheel to climb out or

kickout. The wheel may either jump toward

or away from the operator, depending on

direction of the wheel’s movement at the

point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also

break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse

and/or incorrect operating procedures or

conditions and can be avoided by taking

proper precautions as given below.

a. Maintain a firm grip on the power tool

and position your body and arm to allow

you to resist kickback forces. The

operator can control kickback forces, if

proper precautions are taken.

b. Use special care when working corners,

sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and

snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp

edges or bouncing have a tendency to

snag the rotating accessory and cause

loss of control or kickback.

c. Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such

blades create frequent kickback and loss

of control.

d. Always feed the bit into the material in

the same direction as the cutting edge is

exiting from the material (which is the

same direction as the chips are thrown).

Feeding the tool in the wrong direction

causes the cutting edge of the bit to

climb out of the work and pull the tool in

the direction of this feed.

e. When using rotary files, cut-off wheels,

high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide

cutters, always have the work securely

clamped. These wheels will grab if they

become slightly canted in the groove, and

can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs,

the wheel itself usually breaks. When a

rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten

carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from

the groove and you could lose control of

the tool.

Safety warnings specific for

grinding and abrasive

cutting-off operations:

a. Use only wheel types that are

recommended for your power tool and

only for recommended applications. For

example: do not grind with the side of a

cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are

intended for peripheral grinding, side

forces applied to these wheels may cause

them to shatter.

6

b. For threaded abrasive cones and plugs

use only undamaged wheel mandrels

with an unrelieved shoulder flange that

are of correct size and length. Proper

mandrels will reduce the possibility of

breakage.

c. Do not “jam” a cut-off wheel or apply

excessive pressure. Do not attempt to

make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the

loading and susceptibility to twisting or

snagging of the wheel in the cut and the

possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

d. Do not position your hand in line with

and behind the rotating wheel. When the

wheel, at the point of operation, is

moving away from your hand, the possible

kickback may propel the spinning wheel

and the power tool directly at you.

e. When wheel is pinched, snagged or

when interrupting a cut for any reason,

switch off the power tool and hold the

power tool motionless until the wheel

comes to a complete stop. Never

attempt to remove the cut-off wheel

from the cut while the wheel is in

motion otherwise kickback may occur.

Investigate and take corrective action to

eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or

snagging.

f. Do not restart the cutting operation in

the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full

speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The

wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if

the power tool is restarted in the

workpiece.

g. Support panels or any oversized

workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel

pinching and kickback. Large workpieces

tend to sag under their own weight.

Supports must be placed under the

workpiece near the line of cut and near

the edge of the workpiece on both sides

of the wheel.

h. Use extra caution when making a

“pocket cut” into existing walls or other

blind areas. The protruding wheel may

cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or

objects that can cause kickback.

Safety warnings specific for

wire brushing operations:

a. Be aware that wire bristles are thrown

by the brush even during ordinary

operation. Do not overstress the wires

by applying excessive load to the brush.

The wire bristles can easily penetrate

light clothing and/or skin.

b. Allow brushes to run at operating speed

for at least one minute before using

them. During this time no one is to stand

in front or in line with the brush. Loose

bristles or wires will be discharged during

the run-in time.

c. Direct the discharge of the spinning wire

brush away from you. Small particles and

tiny wire fragments may be discharged at

high velocity during the use of these

brushes and may become imbedded in

your skin.

Safety Rules for Rotary Tools

7

Additional Safety Warnings

a. GFCI and personal protection devices

like electrician’s rubber gloves and

footwear will further enhance your

personal safety.

b. Keep handles dry, clean and free from

oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot

safely control the power tool.

c. 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.

d. Ensure the switch is in the off position

before inserting battery pack. Inserting

the battery pack into power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

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.

To insert battery, align battery and slide

battery pack into tool until it locks into

position. Do not force.

Collet Nut

To loosen, first press shaft lock button 6

and rotate the shaft by hand until the

lock engages the shaft preventing

further rotation. Your Dremel 8250 is

equipped with a quick collet lock

mechanism. This mechanism engages

the output shaft in 8 separate locations

on the shaft for easier operation.

Do not engage lock

while the Rotary Tool

is running.

With the shaft lock engaged use the

collet wrench 15 to loosen the collet nut

1if necessary. The collet nut must be

loosely threaded on when inserting an

accessory. Change accessories by

inserting the new one into the collet as

far as possible to minimize runout and

unbalance. With the shaft lock engaged,

finger tighten the collet nut until the

accessory shank is gripped by the collet

(Fig. 3). Avoid excessive tightening of

the collet nut when there is no bit

inserted.

EZ TWIST™ Integrated

Wrench/Nose Cap

The nose cap of your tool has an

integrated wrench allowing you to

loosen and tighten the collet nut

without the use of the standard collet

wrench. Unscrew the nose cap 3from

the tool, line-up steel insert on inside of

cap with collet nut 1. With the shaft lock

6engaged twist nose cap clockwise to

tighten, and counter-clockwise to loosen

(Fig. 4).

Collets

Four different size collets (Fig. 5), to

accommodate different shank sizes, are

avail able for your Rotary Tool. To install

a different collet, remove the collet nut

and remove the old collet. Insert the

unslotted end of the collet in the hole in

the end of the tool shaft. Replace collet

Intended Use

Assembly

Always use the collet

which matches the

shank size of the accessory you plan to

use. Never force a larger diameter shank

into a collet.

Note: Most rotary tool kits do not

include all four collets sizes.

Fixing Stuck Collets

It is possible for a collet to get stuck

within the collet nut especially if a collet

nut is tightened onto the tool without a

bit in place. If this happens, the collet

can be removed from the collet nut by

pushing the shank of an accessory into

the hole in the collet nut (Fig. 6). This

should cause the collet to pop out of the

collet nut.

Balancing Accessories

For precision work, it is important that

all accessories be in good balance

(much the same as the tires on your

automobile). To true up or balance an

accessory, slightly loosen collet nut and

give the accessory or collet a 1/4 turn.

Re tighten collet nut and run the Rotary

Tool. You should be able to tell by the

sound and feel if your accessory is

running in balance. Continue adjusting

in this fashion until best balance is

achieved. To maintain balance on

abrasive wheel points, before each use,

with the wheel point secured in the

collet, turn on the Rotary Tool and run

the 415 Dressing Stone lightly against

the revolving wheel point. This removes

high spots and trues up the wheel point

for good balance.

The hanger is provided for the use of

hanging your tool while using the flex-

shaft or for storage. If you do not use

the hanger, snap it back into place so it

will be out of the way while the tool is in

use.

laminates / plastics, steel, aluminum /

brass / copper, shell / stone, ceramic

and glass materials.

Whenever you hold

the tool, be careful

not to cover the air vents with your

hand. This blocks the air flow and

causes the motor to overheat.

Slide "On/Off" Switch

The tool is switched "ON" by the slide

switch 7located 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.

Learn the Speeds

After the tool has been turned off:

- If you turn it back on within 5

minutes, the tool will turn on at its

last set speed setting.

- If turned on after 5 minutes, the tool

will turn on at its default speed

setting of 15,000 RPM.

Variable Speed Dial

Your tool is equipped with a variable

speed dial 8. The speed may be

adjusted during operation by rotating

the dial back or forth between any one

of the settings. One of the numbers on

the speed indicator 10 will light up

showing the current speed (Fig. 7).

You can refer to the charts on page 18

to determine the proper speed, based

on the materi al being worked and the

type of accessory being used. These

charts enable you to select both the

correct acces sory and the optimum

speed at a glance.

Increasing the pressure on the tool is

not the answer when it is not

performing as you think it should.

Perhaps you should be using a different

accessory, and perhaps an adjustment

in speed would solve the problem.

Leaning on the tool does not help.

Let speed do the work!

All Dremel Rotary Tool attachments are

compatible with your tool, but you may

experience reduced run times on the

battery when using certain attachments.

Learn the LED Behavior

If you turn off the tool with the battery

still inserted, the tool LEDs will behave

as follows:

- The Speed LED will remain

illuminated for 5 minutes to show the

last set speed setting.

- The Warning and Battery Gauge LEDs

will remain illuminated for 30

seconds.

To turn off all LEDs, remove the

battery pack after the tool has been

turned off.

Operating Instructions

Disconnect battery pack from tool before making any assembly,

adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Red Warning LED

The red warning LED 9will illuminate

for one of the following reasons:

- Excessive tool temperature: turn the

tool off and remove the accessory

(Be careful – the accessory may be

hot). Then turn the tool on and

allow it to run without load so the

motor’s fan can help cool down the

tool.

- Excessive battery temperature: turn

the tool off, remove the battery

pack and allow the battery to return

to normal operating temperature

before resuming use.

- Tool stall / overload warning: too

much pressure is being applied to

the tool. Reduce pressure to hold

and guide the tool. Allow the speed

of the tool to do the work.

Fuel Gauge

This tool is equipped with a fuel gauge

11 that tells you how much charge your

battery has. A fully charged battery is

indicated when all three LED lights are

illuminated. As the battery discharges,

the lights will turn off one by one until

only one light is on. When the last light

starts "flashing", the battery is almost

empty. When the battery is dead, the

tool will automatically turn off. This will

be a sudden stop as opposed to a

gradual winding down of the tool.

Simply recharge the battery and reuse.

Charging Battery Pack

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Remember to unplug charger during

storage period.

4. If battery does not charge properly:

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.

Note: Use of chargers or battery packs

not recommended by Dremel in the

battery/charger list will void the

warranty.

DREMEL CHARGER GAL12V-20

Plug charger cord into your standard

power outlet, then insert battery pack

12 into charger (Fig. 8).

If the indicator lights are “OFF”, the

charger is not receiving power from

power supply outlet.

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 may require more time to stop

blinking depending on temperature.

The purpose of the blinking 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

3 lights – 70–100% charge remaining

2 lights – 40–70% charge remaining

1 light – 20–40% charge remaining

1 "flashing" light – Below 20% charge

remaining. Be prepared for tool to

shut off.

Service

NO USER SERVICE -

ABLE PARTS INSIDE.

Preventive maintenance performed by

un au thorized personnel may result in

misplacing of internal wires and

components which could cause serious

hazard. We recom mend that all tool

service be performed by a Dremel

Service Center. SERVICE MEN:

Disconnect tool and/or charger from

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.

D.C. Motors

The motor in your tool has been

engineered for many hours of

dependable service. To maintain peak

efficiency of the motor, we recommend

it be examined every six months. Only a

genuine Dremel replacement motor

specially designed for your tool should

be used.

Cleaning

Certain cleaning

agents and solvents

damage plastic parts. Some of these

are: gasoline, car bon tetrachloride,

chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia

and household detergents that contain

ammonia.

Ventilation openings and switch levers

must be kept clean and free of foreign

matter. Do not attempt to clean by

inserting pointed objects through

opening

stop blinking in less time if the battery

pack was not completely discharged.

If the green indicator light is "ON", the

charger 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.

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.

Maintenance

To avoid accidents, always disconnect the tool and/or charger from the

power supply before servicing or cleaning.
