Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-
uids, 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 con-
trol. Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mod-
ify 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 sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors. 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 carry-
ing, 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 elec-
tric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able 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.
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SA E 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.

Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence 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
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 jewel-
ry. 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 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 oper-
ation. 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 main-
tained 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 differ-
ent from those intended could result in a hazardous sit-
uation. Battery tool use and care
Recharge only with the charger specified by the man-
ufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of bat-
tery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may cre-
ate a risk of injury and fire.
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.
Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery, avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addi-
tionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
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 main-
tained.

Safety warnings common for grinding,
sanding, wire brushing, polishing, carving
or abrasive cutting-off operations:
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.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufactur-
er. Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The RATED SPEED of the accessory 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.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your acces-
sory must be within the capacity rating of your power
tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
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 mount-
ing hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
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.
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 dam-
age or install an undamaged accessory. After inspect-
ing 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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or res-
pirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accesso-
ry contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator
an electric shock.
Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it acceler-
ates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
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 work-
piece 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.
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 acces-
sory.
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 con-
trol.
After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjust-
ment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjust-

ment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of
control, loose rotating components will be violently
thrown.
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.
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.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materi-
als. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in elec-
trocution or shock.
Use only in well-ventilated area. Working in a safe
environment reduces risk of injury.
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.
Do not touch the bit or collet after use. After use the bit
and collet are too hot to be touched by bare hands.
Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modifica-
tion is a misuse and may result in serious personal
injury.
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 acces-
sory. 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 mate-
rial 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 incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
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.
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.
Do not attach a toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Always feed the bit into the material in the same direc-
tion 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 cut-
ting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the
tool in the direction of this feed.
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 abra-
sive cutting-off operations:
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 periph-
eral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoul-
der flange that are of correct size and length. Proper
mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
Do not jam a cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-
sure. 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.
Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
1600A012FS_7300 2/1/17 10:17 AM Page 5

rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of opera-
tion, is moving away from your hand, the possible kick-
back may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool
directly at you.
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 other-
wise kickback may occur. Investigate and take correc-
tive action to eliminate the cause of wheel pinching or
snagging.
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.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to mini-
mize 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.
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:
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.
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 bris-
tles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
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.
Additional Safety Warnings
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 sup-
ply. 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 disassem-
ble 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.
Ensure the switch is in the off position before insert-
ing 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 lum-
ber.
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.

Battery/Charger
Before using battery charger,
read all instructions and cau-
tionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery
pack, and (3) product using battery.
Use only the charger which accompanied your prod-
uct or direct replacement as listed in the catalog or
this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use
only Dremel approved chargers with your product. See
Functional Description and Specifications.
Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if
it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or other-
wise damaged in any way. Replace damaged cord or
plugs immediately. Incorrect reassembly or damage
may result in electric shock or fire.
Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment.
Do not expose charger to rain or snow. If battery case
is cracked or otherwise damaged, do not insert into
charger. Battery short or fire may result.
Charge only Dremel approved rechargeable batter-
ies. See Functional Description and Specifications.
Other types of batteries may burst causing personal
injury and damage.
Charge battery pack in temperatures above +32
degrees F (0 degrees C) and below +113 degrees F
(45 degrees C). Store tool and battery pack in loca-
tions where temperatures will not exceed 120
degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important to prevent
serious damage to the battery cells.
Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or
temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and
eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause
chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact
with skin, wash quickly with soap and water, then with
lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid contacts your eyes,
flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and
seek medical attention.
Place charger on flat non-flammable surfaces and
away from flammable materials when re-charging
battery pack. The charger and battery pack heat during
charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating surfaces
block proper air circulation which may cause overheat-
ing of the charger and battery pack. If smoke or melting
of the case are observed unplug the charger immediate-
ly and do not use the battery pack or charger.
Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by
Dremel may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or
injury to persons.
Battery Care
When batteries are not in tool
or charger, keep them away
from metal objects. For example, to protect terminals
from shorting DO NOT place batteries in a tool box or
pocket with nails, screws, keys, etc. Fire or injury may
result.
DO NOT PUT BATTERIES INTO FIRE OR EXPOSE TO
HIGH HEAT. They may explode.
Battery Disposal
Do not attempt to disassemble
the battery or remove any
com ponent projecting from the battery terminals. Fire
or injury may result. Prior to disposal, protect exposed
terminals with heavy insulating tape to prevent shorting.

COLLET NUT— To loosen, first press shaft lock button
and rotate the collet nut by hand until the lock engages
the shaft preventing further rotation.
Do not engage lock while the
Tool is running.
With the shaft lock engaged, loosen the collet nut by
hand. 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. Avoid excessive tightening of the collet
nut when there is no bit inserted.
COLLETS — Four different size collets (see illus -
tration), to accommodate different shank sizes, are
avail able for your Cordless Rotary Tool. To install a dif-
ferent 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 nut on the
shaft. 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.
FIXING STUCK COLLETS – It is possible for a collet to get
stuck within the collet nut especially if a collet nut is tight-
ened 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.
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 Cordless 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
COLLET IDENTIFICATION CHART — Collet sizes can
be identified by the rings on the back end of collet.

and their uses, you will learn just how versatile your
Cordless Rotary Tool is. You’ll see dozens of uses you
hadn’t thought of before now.
The real secret of the Cordless 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
typical electric drill is a low-speed, high torque tool; the
Cordless Rotary Tool is just the opposite — a high-
speed, low torque tool. The chief difference to the user
is that in the high speed tools, the speed combined with
the acces sory mounted in the collet does the work. You
don’t apply pressure to the tool, but simply hold and
guide it. In the low speed tools, you not only guide the
tool, but also apply pres sure to it, as you do, for example,
when drilling a hole.
It is this high speed, along with its compact size and
wide variety of special accessories, that makes your
Cordless Rotary Tool differ ent from other power tools.
The speed enables it to do jobs low speed tools cannot
do, such as en graving glass, etc.
Getting the most out of your Cordless Rotary Tool is a
matter of learning how to let this speed work for you.
Releasing and inserting battery Pack
Remove the battery pack from the tool by squeezing
the two tabs on the battery pack together and slide the
battery pack out of the tool.
Charging the tool
The Model 7300 Cordless Rotary Tool battery pack is
not fully charged. The tool is equipped with a removable
battery pack. Be sure to charge pack prior to initial use.
For best re sults on first charge, charge pack overnight.
To charge the tool:
1. Put the switch in the “OFF” position.
2. Squeeze release tabs on both sides of battery pack,
and remove pack from back of tool.
3. Align exterior shape of battery pack with exterior
shape of charger, squeeze release tabs, insert battery
pack into charger as shown and release pressure on
tabs so it locks in place.
4. Plug charger into the power source. The green L.E.D.
light indicates connection has been made and the
battery pack is charging. The L.E.D. light will blink while
Cordless Rotary Tool and run the 415 Dressing Stone
(not included, available as accessory) lightly against
the revolving wheel point. This removes high spots and
trues up the wheel point for good balance.
Remember, your new Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool is
the finest power tool of its kind. But its performance
is only as good as the accessories with which it is
used. We recommend only Dremel accessories be
used. Use of any other accessories may create a haz-
ard. We hope you’ll enjoy many years of trouble free
pleasure from your Dremel Cordless Rotary Tool.

Using the Cordless Rotary Tool
The first step in learning to use the Cordless Rotary Tool
is to get the “feel” of it. Hold it in your hand and feel its
weight and balance. Feel the taper of the housing. This
taper permits the tool to be grasped much like a pen or
pencil.
When you turn on the tool for
the first time, hold it away from
your face. Accessories can be
damaged during handling, and
can fly apart as they come up to
speed. This is not common, but
it does happen.
Practice on scrap materials first to see how the Cordless
Rotary Tool cuts. Keep in mind that the work is done by
the speed of the tool and by the accessory in the collet.
You should not lean on or push the tool into the work.
Instead, lower the spinning accessory lightly to the
work and allow it to touch the point at which you want
cutting (or sanding or etching, etc.) to begin. Con -
centrate on guiding the tool over the work using very lit-
tle pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do
the work.
Usually, it is best to make a series of passes with the
tool rather than attempt to do all the work in one pass.
To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and forth
over the work, much as you would a small paint brush.
Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the
desired depth. For most work, the deft, gentle touch is
best. With it, you have the best control, are less likely to
make errors, and will get the most effi cient work out of
the accessory.
charging. The L.E.D. will turn solid when charging is
complete. Under normal usage the tool normally
requires 3 hours charging time to reach full capacity.
5. When charging is completed, squeeze release tabs on
battery pack and remove pack from charger.
6. Align exterior shape of battery pack with exterior
shape of the hous ing of tool as shown. Squeeze release
tabs, insert battery pack into back of tool, and release
pressure on tabs so it locks in place.
Important Charging Notes
If you anticipate long periods of non-use for your tool
it's best to unplug your charger and battery pack from
its power source. Unplugging the charger will extend
the life expectancy of the charger and battery pack.
The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its maxi-
mum charge capacity with its first charge; or, after pro-
longed storage it will also require additional time on the
first charge. However, after several charge and dis-
charge cycles, the batteries should be up to full charge
capacity and delivering maximum performance.

For best control in close work, grip the Rotary Tool
like a pencil between your thumb and forefinger. The “handgrip” method of holding the tool is used for operations such as grinding a flat surface or using
cutoff wheels.
Operating Speeds For Accessories
Set the speed indicator to fit the job to achieve the
best job results when working with different
ma te rials.
To select the right speed for each job, use a practice
piece of material. ary speed to find the best speed
for the accessory you are using and the job to be
done.
On the Model 7300, there is a LO and HI switch. When
the switch indicator is in position 1 or LO, the tool runs
at about 6,500 RPM. When the switch indicator is in
position 2 or HI, the tool runs at about 14,000 RPM.
You can refer to the charts on pages 16 and 17 to deter-
mine the proper speed, based on the materi al being
worked and the type of cutter or other accessory being
used. These charts enable you to select both the cor-
rect acces sory and the optimum speed at a glance.
Needs for Slower Speeds
Certain materials, however, (some plastics, for ex -
ample) require a relatively slow speed because at high
speed the friction of the tool generates heat and caus-
es the plastic to melt.
Most work is done at high speed on your Cordless
Rotary Tool. Lower speeds are needed only for certain
tasks.
The speed of Model 7300 is controlled by
setting this indicator on the housing.
