Setup
Follow these steps to properly attach the Dremel 575 Right Angle Attachment to your rotary tool and install accessories:
- Prepare the Rotary Tool: Ensure your Dremel rotary tool is unplugged or its battery is removed. Remove the housing cap from the front of your rotary tool.
- Install Drive Adapter: Insert the included drive adapter into the collet of your rotary tool. Tighten the collet using the provided wrench.
- Attach Right Angle Unit: Align the right angle attachment with the threaded collar of the rotary tool. Screw the attachment onto the tool until it is secure. The quick connect system allows for easy attachment without additional wrenches.
- Adjust Angle (Optional): The coupling system allows you to rotate the right angle attachment on the tool to achieve a perfect grip and optimal working angle. There are 12 adjustable directions. Loosen the collar slightly, rotate to the desired position, and then re-tighten the collar.
- Insert Accessory: Insert your desired Dremel accessory (e.g., grinding stone, cutting wheel, drill bit) into the collet of the right angle attachment. Use the included collet lock and wrench to securely tighten the accessory. Do not use the main rotary tool's shaft lock button when tightening accessories on the attachment to prevent damage.
Operating Instructions
Once the Dremel 575 Right Angle Attachment is securely installed and your desired accessory is in place, you can begin operation. The fixed 90° angled head provides stability and improved visibility to your workpiece.
- Power On: Turn on your Dremel rotary tool to the desired speed setting.
- Positioning: Utilize the 90° angle to reach areas that are otherwise inaccessible with the straight rotary tool. The ability to rotate the attachment in 12 directions allows for optimal positioning for various tasks.
- Application: Apply gentle, consistent pressure. Allow the tool and accessory to do the work. Avoid excessive force, which can lead to premature wear of the accessory or the attachment.
- Visibility: The angled head improves line of sight to the workpiece, enhancing precision for tasks like grinding, drilling, and cutting.
Maintenance
The Dremel 575 Right Angle Attachment is designed for durability and smooth operation, featuring ball bearings and spiral bevel gears. Regular maintenance will ensure its longevity and optimal performance:
- Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the attachment from the rotary tool and clean any dust, debris, or residue from the exterior and internal mechanisms. Use a soft brush or compressed air to remove particles from the gear housing and collet area.
- Lubrication: The internal ball bearings and spiral bevel gears are designed for smooth and cool operation. No user lubrication is typically required. If you notice any unusual noise or resistance, consult Dremel customer support.
- Storage: Store the attachment in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and humidity.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Dremel 575 Right Angle Attachment, consider the following:
- Accessory Not Holding Securely: Ensure the collet and collet lock are properly installed and tightened using the provided wrench. Verify the accessory shank size matches the collet size (1/8" drive adapter included).
- Excessive Noise or Vibration: Check that the attachment is securely fastened to the rotary tool and that the accessory is correctly installed and balanced. If the issue persists, discontinue use and contact Dremel customer support.
- Difficulty Changing Angle: Ensure the collar is sufficiently loosened before attempting to rotate the attachment. Do not force the rotation.
