APPLICATIONS
This multi-purpose oscillating tool is intended for cutting and sanding wood, plastic,
plaster and non-ferrous metals. It is especially suitable for cutting in tight spaces and
for flush cutting. Following are a few typical uses.
CUTTING:
Use a flush cutting saw blade (or “e-cut blade”) for making precise cuts in tight
areas, close to edges or flush to a surface. It is important not to force the tool during
the flush cutting. If you are experiencing a strong vibration in your hand during the
plunge cut, it indicates too much pressure on the tool. Back off on the pressure and
let the speed of the tool do the work. See FIG 3, FIG 4 for typical uses of flush cutting
saw blade.
NOTE: It is suggested that you have a piece of scrap material supporting the blade
when making a flush cut. If you need to rest the blade on a delicate surface, you need
to use cardboard or masking tape to protect the surface.
Use the half-round flat saw blade (5) for making precise cuts in wood, plaster or
drywall material. Applications include cutting openings for electrical boxes, repairing
flooring, cutting flooring for venting, and more. See FIG 5 for use of flat saw blade.
SANDING
With sanding accessories, this tool is a detail sander. It is suitable for dry sanding
of wood, plastic, and metal surfaces, especially in corners, edges and hard to reach
areas. See FIG 6.
TIPS
• Work with the complete surface of the sandpaper, not only the tip.
• Sand with continuous motion and light pressure. Do not apply excessive
pressure. Let the tool do the work.
• Always secure small work pieces.
• Select suitable abrasive paper for best results.
SCRAPING
• Scraper blades are suitable for removing vinyl, varnish, paint layers,
carpeting, caulk and other adhesives.
• Use a rigid scraper blade to remove harder materials, such as vinyl flooring,
carpeting and tile adhesives in large areas.
• Use a flexible scraper blade (not included) to remove softer material such
as caulk. See FIG 7.
TIPS
• When removing strong, tacky adhesive, grease the scraper blade surface
to reduce gumming up.
• Begin with light pressure. The oscillating motion of accessory only occurs
when pressure is applied to the material to be removed.
• If you are removing caulk from a delicate surface, such as a bath tub or tile
back splash, we recommend taping to protect the surface that blade
will rest on.
