Let's Get Started
To reduce the risk of injury user must read instruction manuals for all tools used in this project. Wear eye and respiratory protection. Use clamps to support work piece whenever practical.
Connect the Mandrel Correctly
For both safety and accuracy, it’s essential that you connect the mandrel to your Dremel tool correctly. First, disconnect the tool from the power outlet by pulling out the plug. Second, press the ‘lock’ button and insert at least half the shank into the shaft. Ideally, there’s a 0.5 cm shank protrusion. Lastly, use the wrench or nose cap to screw on the mandrel as tightly as possible. Now it’s time to attach your polishing or cleaning accessory.
Connect the Accessory Properly
Make sure that those accessories that need attaching to the mandrel, such as a polishing wheel or point, are screwed on properly. If they’re not, they may become loose and fly off, putting you in harm’s way. The easiest way to attach the accessory properly is to screw it on after the mandrel has been inserted into the shaft (see tip 1). As for the 401 screw mandrel, press the ‘lock’ button while turning the accessory clockwise until the screw thread is no longer visible.
