1. Complete open the tool holder by means of
UK
the tool release lever (1).
2. Remove the tool from the tool holder (6), if
any.
3. Detach the clamping screw from the tool
holder (6) by turning it counter-clockwise.
4. Insert the required tool in the tool holder (6).
5. Complete close the tool holder by means of
the tool release lever (1).
6. Check whether the tool is properly locked in
place.
Oscillation rate selection (B6)
The required oscillation rate depends on the
material and the operating conditions and can be
determined by way of field-testing. For sawing,
cutting and grinding harder materials such as
wood or metal we recommend oscillation rate 6,
in case of softer materials, e.g. plastics, best use
oscillation rate 4. The setting range covers the
levels 1 - 6 (5,000 - 19,000 rpm). You can change
the preselected oscillation rate at any time.
1. Turn the setting wheel (3) to the desired
oscillation rate.
Operation
Tips and notes on handling the multi-function
tool
General information:
• Keep the venting slots clear to prevent the
motor from overheating.
• Check the tool in the tool holder for proper fit
before every application. The tool must be
firmly locked in place in the designated
holding fixtures in the tool holder.
• Before every application, make sure that you
have selected the correct tool for the
intended use.
Sawing:
• Only use intact, flawless saw blades. Bent,
blunt or otherwise damaged saw blades
could break.
• When sawing lightweight construction
materials, make sure to observe the legal
regulations and recommendations of the
material manufacturers.
28
• Only soft materials such as plasterboard or
the like may be processed using the plunge
cutting method!
• Before sawing wood, chipboards, building
materials etc. with HCS blades, check the
above for foreign objects, e.g. nails, screws
or similar. If required, remove the foreign
objects or use bi-metal saw blades.
• Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight
curves.
• The saw blade should not be longer than
required for the intended cut.
Cutting:
• Only use intact, flawless cutting blades. Bent,
blunt or otherwise damaged cutting blades
could break.
• When cutting wall tiles, bear in mind that the
insertion tools are subjected to a high level of
wear during longer operation.
Scraping:
• Choose a high oscillation rate for scraping.
• On soft ground (e.g. wood) work at a shallow
angle and with only little contact pressure.
Otherwise the scraping knife could cut into
the ground.
Sanding:
• Maintain a consistent grinding pressure to
increase the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
• Choose from the different sanding sheets (red
for wood, black for metal) in due
consideration of the material to be processed
and the desired surface abrasion.
• Avoid the accumulation of dust at the
workplace, always use a dust extraction
system when grinding.
• Use the coarse triangular sanding sheets (e.g.
60 grit) for rough grinding and the fine ones
(e.g. 240 grit) for fine and finish grinding.
Switching the device on and off (B7)
Wear your personal protective equipment when
working with the device.
1. Check whether the fixed tool and the set
oscillation rate are suitable for the intended
application.
