Installing components on your Dremel tool, such as different accessory attachments or parts required for specific tasks, involves correctly fitting them onto the tool's shaft. While the specific steps can vary depending on the accessory, attaching key parts like the driver cap follows a straightforward process.
Attaching the Driver Cap
The driver cap is a common component that needs to be installed, often when using attachments like the flex shaft. Based on the provided reference, the process for installing the driver cap involves these steps:
- Prepare the Shaft: Ensure the necessary components that precede the driver cap, such as the collet and a sleeve, are in place. The reference indicates "And then the collet. And then that sleeve there. Okay so then we need to put on the driver cap."
- Engage the Drive Lock: Hold down the drive lock button on your Dremel tool. This locks the shaft to prevent it from spinning while you attach the cap.
- Position the Driver Cap: Put the driver cap onto the shaft using your fingers.
- Secure the Cap: Use the spinner (often a separate wrench or integrated into the accessory) to tighten the driver cap securely onto the tool.
Following these steps ensures the driver cap is properly fitted, allowing you to proceed with attaching accessories that require it. Always consult your Dremel tool and accessory manuals for specific instructions relevant to your model.
