My dremel multi max has a problem with the switch. When I turn it on, it works for awhile then stops, then starts back up... ???? I have to fiddle with it to get it going for 10 or 15 seconds, then the problem happens again. I have used my compressor to blow any dust out, but no change in operation... frustrating
Most of our issues with Dremel tools is with the plastic brush holder. If the tool is used for exetnded periods of time or 'leaned' on too much the holder will get hot enough melt and keep the brushes from contacting the armature properly. Try taking your brushes out, if they don't slide in and out of the holder freely you may need to file or cut away any plastic that is holding the brushes off the armature. This may require you taking the brush holder out so you don't damage the armature. Be careful with the brush holder, it is not available as a replacement part.
