OPERATION
The Curved Plunge Blade is ideal for
making precise cuts in wood, plaster,
drywall material. Applications include
cutting openings in flooring for venting,
repairing damaged flooring, cutting
openings for electrical boxes. The blade
works best on softer woods such as pine.
For harder woods, the blade life will be
limited. Select a medium to high speed.
GROUT REMOVAL
The Carbide Grit Semicircle Blade and
Triangle Carbide Grit Rasp, are ideal for
removing damaged or cracked grout.
Grout blades come in different shapes to
tackle different grout lines. Select a medium
to high speed.
To remove the grout, use a back and forth
motion, making several passes along the
grout line. The hardness of the grout will
dictate how many passes are needed. Try
to keep the grout blade aligned with the
grout line and be careful not to apply too
much side pressure on the grout blade
during the process.
To control the plunge depth, use the
carbide grit line on the blade as an
indicator. Be careful not to plunge beyond
the carbide grit line to avoid damage to the
backer board material.
If you notice the blade clogging during the
grout removal process, you can use a brass
brush to clean the grit, thus exposing the
grit again.
SCRAPING
The Flexible Scraper and Rigid Scraper
are suitable for removing old coats of
varnish or adhesives, and removing bonded
carpeting, e.g., on stairs/steps and others
small/medium size surfaces. Select low to
medium speed.
Excessive pressure can gouge or damage
the background surfaces (e.g., wood,
plaster).
SANDING
Sanding accessories are suitable for dry
sanding wood, metal surfaces, corners,
edges and hard to reach areas. Work with
the complete surface of the sanding pad,
not only with the tip.
Sand with a continuous motion and
light pressure. DO NOT apply excessive
pressure. Excessive pressure will result in
poor handling, vibration, unwanted sanding
marks and premature wear on the sanding
sheet.
The following suggestions may be used as a
general guide for abrasive selection, but the
best results will be obtained by sanding a
test sample of the workpiece first.
Grit
Application
Coarse
For rough wood or metal
sanding, and rust or old
finish removal.
Medium
For general wood or metal
sanding.
Fine
For final finishing of wood,
metal, plaster and other
surfaces.
