Operation
Apply plunge cuts to soft materials only, for example wood,
plasterboard etc.
If using saw blades not designed for cutting metal, ensure there are
no nails or screws embedded in the workpiece. If necessary, remove
embedded objects or use metal cutting saw blades instead.
Sanding
The removal rate and the sanding pattern are determined by the
type of sanding sheet, the preset oscillation rate and the applied
pressure.
Pay particular attention to applying uniform sanding pressure; this
increases the working life of the sanding sheets.
Intensifying the sanding pressure will not lead to an increase of the
sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the machine and prema-
ture wear of the sanding sheet.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard-to-reach
areas, it is also possible to work only with the tip or an edge of the
sanding plate.
A sanding sheet that has been used for sanding metal should not be
used for sanding other materials.
Regularly brush down or vacuum the surface being sanded to
ensure the sanding sheet is in direct contact with the surface.
Scraping
For scraping, select a high speed setting.
On soft surfaces (e.g. wood), work at a flat angle and apply only light
pressure so that the scraper does not cut into the surface.
