Fitting a Sanding Pad and Sanding
Sheet
1.
Fit the hook and loop sanding pad by
following the instructions under 'Fitting a
blade or scraper'.
2.
Select the required sanding sheet for your
intended task (see 'Selecting the right
grade of sanding sheet').
3.
The sanding pad and sanding sheets use
a hook and loop system for attachment.
Carefully line up one corner of the sheet
with a corner of the sanding pad and
gradually push the rest of the sheet on to
the pad, checking the alignment until the
sheet is fitted correct-ly.
Selecting the right Grade of Sanding
Sheet
•
Sanding sheets are available in a variety of
different grades: coarse (60 grit), medium
(120 grit) and fine (240 grit).
•
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough
finishes, medium grit to smooth the work,
and fine grit to finish off.
•
Always use good quality sanding sheets to
maximise the quality of the finished task.
•
It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap
piece of material to determine the opti-
mum grades of sandpaper for a particular
job. If there are still marks on your work
after sanding, try either going back to a
coarser grade and sanding the marks out
before recommencing with the original
choice of grit, or try using a new piece of
sandpaper to eliminate the unwanted
marks before going on to a finer grit and
finishing the job.
OPERATION
WARNING: Always wear adequate personal
protection equipment, including eye, hearing
and respiratory protection, when working with
this tool.
WARNING: Anti-vibration gloves should be
worn when operating this tool, to protect users
from the effects of vibration produced by the
tool.
Switching ON and OFF
1.
Set the variable speed dial (8) to the mini-
mum speed.
2.
Hold the tool firmly with the thumb over
the ON/OFF Switch (3).
3.
Slide the ON/OFF Switch forward until it
locks, to switch the tool on.
4.
Slide the ON/OFF Switch backwards, to
switch the tool off.
WARNING: Allow the tool to reach the
required speed before making contact with the
workpiece.
WARNING: Motor vents allow heat generated
from the motor to escape the body of the tool
and must not become blocked. Dust, wood
chippings and swarf can block the motor vents
and cause the tool to shut down. Swarf, cre-
ated when cutting metal, can also cause per-
manent damage if it enters the tool. Do not
allow dust, wood chippings and swarf to build
up. Use a vacuum cleaner to keep the work
space clean, especially in confined areas, and
when working with harmful substances.
WARNING: Do not inhale dust. Wear ade-
quate breathing protection. Some dusts may
be toxic especially from man-made composite
materials.
Adjusting the speed
•
The oscillating speed of this multi-tool can
be adjusted over the variable Speed dial
(8).
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 require-
ments. Also refer to the accessory manufactur-
er'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 bent in any way.
•
When sawing light building materials,
follow the recommendations of the mate-
rial suppliers.
•
Apply plunge cuts to soft materials only,
for example wood, plasterboard etc.
