Changing Sanding Paper
Note:
The sanding pad (10) is a hook and loop
baseplate covered with Velcro material. The sanding
paper (9) can be easily attached or removed from the
Velcro fastening system.
1. Align the sanding paper (9) to the sanding pad (10)
and press firmly to hold in place. As this product
does not include a dust extraction system, it is not
critical that the holes in the sanding paper lines up
with the holes on the sanding pad.
2. To remove or change the sanding paper carefully
peel off the sanding paper from one of the triangle
ends
(Fig. 3)
.
OPERATION
Operating the On/Off Switch
1. To turn the Multi Function Tool on, slide the on/off
switch (2) to "0" position (Fig. 4).
2. To turn the Multi Function Tool off, slide the on/off
switch (2) to the "I" position on the Multi Function
Tool.
Adjusting the Variable Speed
Note:
In various applications you will need to select the
correct speed.
1. When the Multi Function Tool power is turned on,
select the “speed” by scrolling the variable speed
dial (1) to your desired speed.
(Fig. 5)
The higher the
number on the variable speed dial (1) the faster the
oscillation frequency of the Multi Funtion Tool.
2. Recommended oscillation frequency for applications:
• High oscillation frequency
Sanding, sawing, rasping, and polishing stone and
metal (rasping and polishing accessories not
supplied)
• Low oscillation frequency
Polishing varnishes (polishing accessories not
supplied)
Choosing the Correct Sanding Paper
Sanding paper (9) is rated according to the number
marked on the rear of the sanding paper (9). The
higher the number, the smaller and less coarse the
particles are on the sanding paper (9). The lower the
number, the larger and more coarse the particles are
on the sanding paper, this will provide a more
aggressive sanding action.
Coarse grit (eg.60) is used for removing paint and
sanding down rough surfaces.
Medium grit (eg.80) is used for sanding down plain
timber .
Fine grit (eg.120) is used to give a smooth finish to
bare wood.
Extra fine grit (eg.400-1200) is used for polishing or
sanding between coats of paint.
If there are still marks on your work after sanding, try
stepping back to a coarser grade of sanding paper and
sanding the marks out. Then recommence with the
original choice of grit, or try using a finer (higher
numbered) piece of sanding paper (9) to eliminate the
unwanted marks and finish the job.
Note:
Try not to apply excessive pressure when using
the Multi Function Tool as a sander. Excessive pressure
with sanding paper (9) can lead to swirl marks or “ring”
impressions on your workpiece.
Sanding
In sanding mode, the Multi Function Tool can be
used on materials such as wood, plastic, metal and
painted surfaces.
Caution:
Ensure the Multi Function Tool is not
placed on the workpiece.
Note:
Ensure you have the correct sanding paper
for your application. Always test on a scrap
workpiece before using on your workpiece.
1. Slide the on/off switch (2) forward to the "0"
position.
2. Select the desired oscillation frequency speed on
the variable speed dial (1) and wait until the
motor reaches its maximum speed.
3. Place the Multi Function Tool on your workpiece,
ensuring the whole area of the sanding pad (10)
is in contact with the work surface
(Fig. 6)
.
4. Allow the Multi Function Tool to do the work and
do not apply heavy pressure on the Multi
Function Tool. Heavy pressure will not increase
the removal of material but may wear your
sanding paper (9) faster.
5. If sanding corners in hard to reach areas use the
tip or triangle edge of the sanding pad (10)
(Fig. 7)
.
Note:
Sanding pad must be kept flat on workpiece.
Do not tilt the sanding base and use the edge of
the sanding paper. This may cause damage to the
sanding pad, reducing its ability to hold your
sanding paper.
Sawing – Square Blade
CAUTION:
Clamp your workpiece securely if possible
and ensure the Multi Function Tool is not placed on
the workpiece before commencing your work.
Note:
Ensure your blades are not blunt or damaged
in any way before commencing your application.
1. In sawing mode, the Multi Function Tool can be
used on wood, plastics and sheet metal.
2. Slide the on/off switch (2) forward to the "0"
position.
3. Select the desired oscillation frequency speed on
the variable speed dial (1) and wait until the
motor reaches its maximum speed
4. If plunging use a slight pendulum motion, to
allow sufficient chip or debris removal
(Fig. 8)
.
Note:
If using the Multi Function Tool for plunge
cuts. Only use this application on soft materials
such as wood, gypsum plaster boards. Also check
if there are no nails or screws in the workpiece
before cutting.
• Keep the ventilation slots of the Multi Function
Tool clean at all times, if possible, prevent
foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the Multi
Function Tool housing to ensure it is free from all
dust particles which may build up. Build up of
dust particles may cause the Multi Function Tool
to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the Multi Function Tool
requires cleaning do not use solvents but a
moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get
inside the Tool; never immerse any part of the
Multi Function Tool into a liquid.
Carbon brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out the Multi
Function Tool will spark and/or stop. Discontinue
use as soon as this happens. They should be
replaced prior to recommencing use of the Multi
Function Tool. Carbon brushes are a wearing
component of the tool therefore not covered under
warranty. Continuing to use the Multi Function Tool
when carbon brushes need to be replaced may
cause permanent damage to the Multi Function
Tool. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses
but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced
take the tool to an electrician or a power tool
repairer for a replacement. Always replace both
carbon brushes at the same time.
Note:
XU1 will not be responsible for any damage
or injuries caused by the repair of the tool by an
unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
