MAKO MULTI-FUNCTION TOOL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Attaching an Application Tool:
WARNING:
Disconnect the multi-tool from power supply before any adjustment.
CAUTION:
For all work or when changing application tools, always wear protective gloves.
Sharp edges on some application tools will cause personal injury. Application tools can be
very hot while working or after use.
WARNING:
Check that the application tools are correctly attached, Incorrect or insecurely
fastened application tools can come loose during operation and cause a hazard.
a) Loosen the flange bolt with the hex key provided.
b) Ensure that the inner threads and the drive shaft are clean.
c) Align the grooves on the application tool with the four raised ribs on the drive shaft and put the
application tool onto the drive shaft.
d) With your gloved hand holding the blade, put on and tighten the flange bolt using the hex key.
NOTE: Attach the application tool at the desired orientation for the task at hand. The shaft is
configured so that the application tool can be attached every 30°around the shaft, from 0º to 330°.
Mounting or Changing the Sandpaper:
Follow the directions above for attaching the application tool to attach the sanding plate to the multi-
tool.
a) Align the sandpaper with the sanding plate and use your hand to press it firmly on the sanding
plate.
b) Press the sandpaper firmly against a smooth surface for a short period, and then switch on
the tool. The burr will form a non-slip bond with the outer edge of the sandpaper felt. This will
avoid premature wear.
c) If one point has become worn, pull off the sandpaper, turn it 120º and place it on again.
Scraping:
Use the scraping blade to remove paint, coatings and vinyl on wood, and to scrape off adhesive
residue or cut carpet.
To cut and remove carpet, place the ScrapIng Blade vertically on the work piece and cut the carpet
into sections, then put the tool on the work piece at a flat angle (not over 20º’), and apply light
pressure to cut the glue line. If the angle is too high, the scraper can cut into the surface beneath the
carpet.
Cutting:
Circular Saw Blades are ideal for making precise cuts in tight areas, close to edges or flush to a
surface.
a) Select the lowest speed for making the initial plunge cut. Start off at lowest speed for
increased control. After making your initial cut, you can increase motor speed for faster
cutting.
b) Flush cutting blades are intended to make precise cuts to allow for Installation of flooring or
wall material. When flush cutting, it is important not to force the tool during the plunge cut. If
you experience strong vibration during the plunge cut, this indicates that you are applying too
much pressure. Back the tool out and let the speed of the tool do the work.
c) While keeping the teeth of the blade in the work surface, move the back of the tool in a slow
sideways motion. This motion will help speed the cut.
The Flat Saw Blade is ideal for making precise cuts in wood, plaster and drywall material.
Applications include cutting openings in flooring for venting, repairing damaged flooring, cutting
openings for electrical boxes. The Flat Saw Blade can also be used for window restoration making
glazing easy to remove. The saw blade can be placed directly against the edge of the window frame,
guiding the blade through the glazing.
Note that the blade works best on softer woods such as pine. For harder woods, the blade life will be
limited.
