Application
Coarse For rough wood or metal
sanding, and rust or old
finish removal.
Medium For general wood or metal
sanding
Fine For final finishing of wood,
metal, plaster and other
surfaces.
With the workpiece firmly secured, turn tool on
as described above. Contact the work with the
tool after the tool has reached its full speed,
and remove it from the work before switching
the tool off. Operating your oscillating tool in
this manner will prolong switch and motor life,
and greatly increase the quality of your work.
Move the oscillating tool in long steady strokes
parallel to the grain using some lateral motion
to overlap the strokes by as much as 75%.
DO NOT apply excessive pressure - let the
tool do the work. Excessive pressure will result
in poor handling, vibration, and unwanted
sanding marks.
GRINDING
The diamond paper accessory allows
for the Multi-Max™ to be used for
grinding away cement, plaster or thin
set. Preparing the surface for tile replacement
is a common application for this accessory.
The diamond paper needs to be mounted to
the backing pad prior to use.
Select a low to high speed depending on the
material removal rate desired.
The carbide rasp accessory also
allows the Multi-Max™ to grind
away cement, thinset mortar,
plaster, and also wood. This accessory is
commonly used to prepare for tile replacement
or rasping wood to smooth a surface or
remove material.
The speed should be set at high speed for
aggressive material removal or at low speed
for a more detailed removal of material.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the tool-let
it do the work.
Corners may be finished using the tip or edge
of the selected accessory, which should
occasionally be rotated during use to distribute
the wear on the accessory and backing pad
surface.
Grind with a continuous motion and light
pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure -
let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure
will result in poor handling, vibration, and
premature wear on the diamond paper sheet.
