WARNING: DO NOT inhale dust. Wear adequate breathing protection. Some dusts may
be toxic especially from man-made composite materials.
Adjusting the tool speed
• The oscillating speed of this multi-tool can be adjusted over the Variable Speed Dial (5)
1. Turn the Variable Speed Dial to a higher setting, to increase tool speed
2. Turn the Variable Speed Dial to a lower setting, to decrease tool speed
Note: Adjust tool speed to best suit the work carried out, and to adapt to material
requirements. Also refer to the accessory manufacturer’s instructions, with regards to tool
speed selection.
Sawing
• Ensure the saw blade is sharp and in good condition
• DO NOT use saw blades that are damaged or deformed in any way
• When sawing light building materials, follow the recommendations of the material
suppliers
• 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 premature 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 lat angle and apply only light pressure so that the
scraper does not cut into the surface
Accessories
• A full range of oscillating multi-tool accessories, including different saw blades, scrapers,
grinding and sanding accessories is available from your GMC stockist

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any maintenance/
