The lock button should lock the shaft. With the collet facing you, turn anti-clockwise with grips or pliers. They should never be done up _that_ tight. Try spraying with penetrating oil. Two version of the manual below.
My 15 year old Dremel 395 had the same problem so I took it apart. There is a plastic spline between the motor and the output shaft to the chuck . My plastic spline was split and had many of its teeth sheared off. The shaft lock acts on the output shaft side of this spline, so it was ok. Otherwise everything looked great; bearings ran free & had little play free, brushes ok. To be fair, my Dremel had seen hard use & doesn't owe me anything. No luck so far finding replacement spline parts, which if available should be easy to install. To take apart your tool, just google "Dremel Disassembly". GOOD LUCK!
You can either go to Dremel.com and type in your model number for replacement parts or call their toll free number at 1-800-437-3635 and get that information. Let me know if you need anything further

Do you have a 'nut' on the end, or just a wide open shaft (1/3 inch or so?)
You need a collet nut to tighten bits, and maybe collets of varying sizes also (not sure about this particular shaft).
REFERENCE M/N: 395 - Type 3 - Dremel does not have the parts listing on their site for some reason. I actually have the original I saved from 1988! The part number for the Nylon Coupler is: Illustration Code Number: 5 Description: Flex Coupling Part Number: 529430970
This is all from Drawing (Form) Number:5296074 10-88
