Make sure that the ribs of the tool drive shaft and
the lock pattern of accessories fit each other.
Misalignment can lead to unstable attachment,
causing personal injury.
Do not attach the plunge-cut blade, flush circular
blade, rigid scraper blade or carbide grout-
removal blade so that they face backwards, as
operation in this position may cause serious injury.
To avoid pinching skin, hold the
clamping lever firmly when
fastening an accessory. Do not place hands or fingers
between the lever and the tool body to guard against
bruising when locking the clamping lever. Do not
place your hands or fingers between the locking rod
and drive shaft.
To Remove the Accessory
a.
Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is in the
OFF position and remove the battery pack.
b.
Flip the clamping lever 180° to the horizontal
position to unlock the clamp mechanism.
c.
Remove the accessory from the tool.
NOTICE
: Do not allow the locking rod face
downward when removing the accessory. It may
cause the accessory to fall off unexpectedly.
INSTALLING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE
See Fig. 8
The auxiliary handle, used to guide and balance the
tool, can be threaded into the front housing on either
side of the tool, depending on personal preference
and comfort.
Turn the tool OFF and remove the battery pack before
performing any assembly. Thread the auxiliary
handle into the desired position and securely tighten
it in place.
USING WITH SANDING BASE PLATE SET
See Fig. 9
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 higher speed range when sanding with the
multi-tool.
d.
Allow the tool to reach its full selected speed before
allowing it to contact the workpiece. 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, the
sandpaper 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.
USING WITH PLUNGE-CUT BLADE
See Fig. 10
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power tool operation. If the
operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
Wear protective gloves.
Use sharp, undamaged blades only. Deformed or
blunt blades or blades that are otherwise
damaged can break.
Do not attach the plunge cut blade facing
backward, as operation in this position may cause
serious injury.
The plunge-cut blade is intended to make precise cuts
to aid in the installation of flooring or wall materials.
a.
Select a medium to high speed for making the
initial plunge. You can increase speed for faster
cutting after the initial cut.
b.
Allow the tool to reach its full selected speed
before allowing it to contact the workpiece.
c.
Do not force the tool during the plunge cut. Let the
speed of the tool do the work.
d.
While keeping the teeth of the blade in the work
surface, move the back of the tool in a slow,
sideways motion, which will help to expedite the
cut.
e.
Make sure that the tool comes to a complete stop
before you remove it from the workpiece.
USING WITH FLUSH CIRCULAR BLADE
See Fig. 11
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields during power also wear a dust mask.
Wear protective gloves.
Use sharp, undamaged blades only. Deformed or
blunt blades or blades that are otherwise
damaged can break.
Do not attach the flush circular blade facing
backward, as operation in this position may cause
serious injury.
The flush circular blade is ideal for making cuts in
wood, plaster, drywall, non-ferrous metals, thin sheet
metal, and other materials. The blade works best on
softer woods, such as pine. For harder woods, the
blade life will be limited. Allow the tool to reach its
full selected speed before allowing it to contact the
workpiece.
