Attaching Your Accessory

1. Choose the desired angle required for your 

application.

2 Position the perforated holes on the accessory 

over the locating pins on the accessory drive 
spindle (4) of the multi function head (Fig. 1 & 
1a).

3. Ensure the accessory is sitting flat against the 

face of the accessory drive spindle (4).

4. Place the accessory fixing washer (5) in 

alignment with the inner hole of the accessory 
drive spindle (4).

5. Insert the locking bolt (6) through the accessory 

fixing washer (5) and into the accessory drive 
spindle (4) of the Multi Function Tool (Fig.2). 
Hand tighten only.

Removing Your Accessory

1. Loosen the locking bolt (6) by rotating the allen 

key (7) in an anti-clockwise direction. 

2. Remove the locking bolt (6) and the accessory 

fixing washer (5) from the Multi Function Tool. 
Remove the accessory.

3. To re-attach an accessory, follow the instructions 

on “Attaching your accessory”. 

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.
