2. MOUNTING / CHANGING THE SANDING SHEET
(SEE E)
Align the sanding sheet and press it onto the sanding
pad by hand.
Firmly press the power tool with the sanding sheet
against a flat surface and briefly switch the power tool
on. This provides for good adhesion and prevents
premature wear.
If one point has become worn, pull off the sanding
sheet, turn it 120° and replace.
3. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH
——Switching the power tool ON:
Slide switch (4) forward (I).
——Switching the power tool OFF:
Slide switch (4) backward (0).
4. USING THE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Select oscillation frequency (speed) while the motor
is running.
The variable speed control (2) can be used to set
the optimum oscillating frequency according to the
accessories used and the respective application.
High oscillation frequency:
Sanding, sawing, rasping and polishing stone and
metal.
Low oscillation frequency:
Polishing varnishes.
5. SANDING
Typical application: wood, metal; small areas,
especially corners, edges and places difficult to
access.
Select high oscillation frequency.
Sand with a constant movement and light pressure.
Heavy pressure does not increase the removal – the
sanding sheet merely wears faster.
6. SAWING WITH THE SEMICIRCLE SAW
BLADE
The workpiece must be inserted firmly or clamped
tightly before it is cut.
Typical application: wood, PVC, soft metal sheet.
Select high oscillation frequency .
The saw blade lasts longer if the wear is distributed
evenly. To ensure an even distribution,
loosen the saw blade, rotate it and retighten firmly.
7. SAWING WITH THE END CUT SAW BLADE
(SEE F)
WARNING: The sawing teeth are very
sharp. Do not touch during mounting
and application.
The workpiece must be inserted firmly or
clamped tightly before it is cut.
Typical application: wood, plaster board, soft
plastics and metal (e. g. nails).
When plunging and sawing use a slight
pendulum motion, to allow sufficient chip
removal.
8. SCRAPING
Typical application: Scraping off old varnish or
adhesives, removing glued carpeting, e. g. on
stairs or other small to medium-sized surfaces.
Select medium / high oscillation frequency.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR TOOL:
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially
when used at low speed, set the speed to
maximum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes
to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very
low speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the
quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
Start your tool before working and turn it off only
after you stop working.
Do not start sanding without having the
sandpaper fitted.
