The Dremel GO is a 4V Max cordless screwdriver designed for light-duty fastening tasks. Before using the tool, ensure it is fully charged. To operate, insert a bit into the holder, select the rotation direction, and apply pressure to the bit holder to start the tool. Always store the tool with the rotation switch in the middle (locked) position to prevent accidental activation.
Product description
The Dremel GO features a 1/4" hex shank bit holder, a direction of rotation switch that also acts as a shaft lock, a battery charge indicator, and a torque selector with six positions. It is powered by an internal lithium-ion battery and charged via a micro USB port.
Charging the tool
The tool does not come fully charged from the factory. To charge:
- Insert the USB cable into the power adapter and plug the adapter into a standard outlet.
- Open the micro USB port cover on the tool and plug in the cable.
- The battery charge indicator will flash green during charging and turn solid green when fully charged.
- The tool cannot be used while charging.
- If the tool does not charge, check the outlet, ensure the USB cable is properly connected, and clean the USB terminals if dirty.
Operating instructions
Inserting bits: Push the bit into the bit holder as far as it will go.
Direction of rotation: Slide the switch down/forward for clockwise (driving screws) or up/backward for counterclockwise (loosening screws). Slide to the middle position to lock the shaft for manual screwing.
Setting torque: Use the torque selector to choose between six positions. Position 1 is for small screws or soft materials; Position 6 is for large screws or hard materials.
Starting and stopping: Apply pressure to the bit holder to start the tool. Stop applying pressure to switch it off.
Maintenance and cleaning
The tool contains no user-serviceable parts. Keep the tool clean by using compressed dry air on the vents. Do not use harsh solvents like gasoline or ammonia, as they can damage plastic parts. If the battery performance drops significantly, contact a Dremel Service Center for replacement.
Safety information
Always wear eye protection. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres. When fastening, be aware of hidden wiring. If the tool overheats or the battery is depleted, the electronic protection circuit will automatically switch the tool off.
