c. Applications
Cutting
Use a flush cutting saw blade (or “e-cut blade”) for making precise cuts in tight areas,
close to edges, plunge or flush to a surface. It is important not to force the tool during
the flush cutting. If you are experiencing a strong vibration in your hand during the cut, it
indicates too much pressure on the tool. Back off on the pressure and let the speed of
tool do the work. For typical uses for flush cutting saw blade.
NOTE: It is suggested that you have a piece of scrap material supporting the
blade when making a flush cut. If you need to rest the blade on a delicate surface,
you need to use cardboard or masking tape to protect the surface.
Use the segmented saw blade for making continuous precise cuts in wood, plaster or
drywall material. Applications include cutting for electrical boxes, repairing flooring,
cutting flooring for venting, and more.
Sanding
With sanding accessories, this tool is a detail sander. It is suitable for dry sanding of
wood, plastic, and metal surfaces, especially in corners, edges and hard to reach areas.
Tips:
1. Work with the complete surface of the sandpaper, not only with the tip.
2. Sand with continuous motion and light pressure. Do not apply excessive pressure.
Let tool do the work.
3. Always secure small work pieces.
4. Select suitable abrasive paper for best results.
Selecting the sanding sheet
-
A sanding sheet should be selected depending on the material to be worked and
the required rate of material removal.
Grain size 80: For face-sanding and levelling small irregularities
Grain size 120: For face-sanding and levelling small irregularities
Grain size 180: For finish- and fine-sanding of wood
Scrapping
Scraper blades are suitable for removing vinyl, varnish, paint layers, carpeting, caulk
and other adhesives.
Use a rigid scraper blade to remove harder materials, such as vinyl flooring, carpeting
and tile adhesives in a large area.
Use a flexible scraper blade (not included) to remove softer material such as caulk.
Tips:
1. When removing strong, tacky adhesive, grease the scraper blade surface to reduce
gumming up.
2. Begin with light pressure. The oscillating motion of accessory only occurs when
pressure is applied to the material to be removed.
3. If you are removing caulk from a delicate surface, such as a bath tub or tile back
splash, we recommend taping to protect the surface that the blade will rest on.
