OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
10. Using with Sanding Base Plate Set
WARNING
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation. If operation is
dusty, also wear a dust mask.
• Wear protective gloves.
a. Align the sandpaper with the sanding plate and use
your hand to press it firmly onto the sanding plate.
b. It is recommended to sand a test sample of the
workpiece first to select the best sanding paper.
c. Select a high speed range when sanding with the
multi-tool.
d. Contact the workpiece with the tool only after the
tool has reached its full speed. Press the power tool
with the sanding plate set firmly against the workpiece. This provides for good adhesion and
prevents premature wear.
e. Work with the entire surface of the sanding plate and sanding paper, not just the tip. When one
tip or corner of the sanding paper is worn, it can be removed, turned 120°, and reattached.
f. Sand the workpiece in a continuous motion with moderate pressure. Excessive pressure
does not increase the rate of removal. It will result in unwanted sanding marks and cause the
sanding paper to wear more quickly. It can also cause tool overload.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
All maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified service technician.
Cleaning
Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, remove the battery pack from the tool. For safe
and proper operation, always keep the tool and its ventilation slots clean.
Always use only a soft, dry cloth to clean your multi-tool; never use detergent or alcohol.
