USING YOUR
MULTI FUNCTION TOOL
ASSEMBLY
OPERATION
MAINTENANCE
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 Function 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.
WARNING! Be sure to disconnect
the rotary tool from the power
supply before fitting or removing
accessory bits.
Your XU1 Multi Function Tool has been designed
for sanding and cutting and many additional
applications.
This tool is intended for use in a DIY (Do It
Yourself) context or for hobbyist purposes. It is
not built for continuous daily use in a trade or
professional capacity.
Attaching Your Dust Collection Adaptor
The dust collection adaptor can be fitted to your
multi function tool to reduce the build up of dust
and debris while operating. Accessories must
be removed prior to fitting the dust collection
accessory.
1. Push the hose connector onto the end of the dust
collection adaptor
2. Place the circular end of the dust collection
adaptor over the accessory spindle so that the
adaptor rests against the bottom of the tool
handle. (Fig. 9)
3. Place the securing clip over the dust collection
adaptor and onto the air vent holes to secure in
place.
4. Connect a vacuum or dust extractor hose to the
hose connector.
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.

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

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).
• 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.
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.
