Grout Removal Kit 568
The #568 grout removal attachment comes
completely assembled and ready to use. Use the #569
(1/16") bit for tiles spaced more than 1/16" apart. If
your tiles are spaced more than 1/8" apart, it is
recommended that you use the #570 (1/8") bit.
Note: If the bit is too wide for the spacing between
your tiles, you may damage your tile or the grout
removal bit.
Step 1: Remove the housing cap from the tool.
Step 2: Insert the grout removal bit into your rotary
tool.
When inserting the #569 or #570
grout removal bit into your
Dremel rotary tool, be sure that the bit is secure
within the “jaws” of the collet. Use the wrench to
tighten the collet nut to prevent the bit from loosening
within the collet. Do not use your Dremel Chuck,
#4486, with the grout removal bits.
Step 3: Screw the grout removal attachment onto the
rotary tool.
Step 4: Adjust the attachment and bit to the desired
cutting depth.
Grout Removal Attachment Cutting Depth
Adjustment
The Multi Slide Depth Adjustment has increment
markings of 1/8" (3,2 mm). These markings are for
reference only in identifying the depth of your desired
cut. The multiple channels of the depth adjustment let
you choose the orientation of the attachment to the
tool. Be sure to securely tighten the screw within one
of the multiple channel positions.
To set cutting depth:
Cleaning Grout:
Do not remove grout more than 1/8" below the face
surface of the tile. Adjust the Multi Slide Depth
Adjustment and bit so that no more than 1/8" of the
bit extends beyond the base of the attachment.
After removing 1/8" of grout, regrout to tile level. Seal
the new grout.
Removing Grout to Replace A Broken Tile:
Remove all of the grout surrounding the broken tile.
Adjust the Multi Slide Depth Adjustment so that no
more than 1/8" of the bit extends beyond the base of
the attachment. See Figure 5. Remove grout at a
depth no more than 1/8" at a time. You may need to
adjust the Multi Slide Depth Adjustment by 1/8"
increments (reference the 1/8" incremental white
markings on the Multi Slide Depth Adjustment) and
make several passes until all the grout is removed.
When removing grout deeper into the grout line, you
may strike hidden objects like screw heads, mortar,
tile cement or nails that may cause the bit to bind,
overheat or break. Reduce the tool speed and work
through it slowly, making several passes. In case of
screws or nails, remove the grout around the area as
the bit will not cut through them.
