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.
It's possible that the enameled copper coiling on the stator was compromised when it overheated creating a short. Sadly, unless you have a replacement stator is cannot be fixed. Sorry.
remove the collet nut
use pliers or the like and pull the collet from the shaft jaws
remove the broken bit
put the collet back in the jaws and refit the nut
Did you buy a universal foot switch or one specifically for a dremel? Many times the universal ones should plug into the wall and whatever device you connect to a plug housed on the pedal to operate by pedal. If it is Dremel specific, check the support portion of their website or try sending and email to them using the Contact Us link on their page.
No.. the issue issue is the switch inside. when your Dremel 4200 stop working, press firmly the grey area between the speed selector and the brush housing. I think this a defect in the design of the 4200.
Check and replace brushes as necessary. Also, check that the actual electrical switch is functional. I had to add a drop of crazy glue on the tip of the interior plastic handle housing that supports/puts pressure on the electrical switch to keep it in position. The off/on thumb slider actually extends well into the housing and activates the electric switch by moving back and forth. Over time, the plastic wears and does not plunge the on off switch button. A drop of glue on the tip of the plastic post extends it & causes enough pressure to make the electric switch to function again. Brushes (filed to fit) and glue = good as new Dremel :o)
