pad C 2 before mounting the sanding sheet
- mount VELCRO sanding sheet as illustrated
! the dust suction requires the use of perforated
sanding sheets
! perforation in sanding sheet should correspond
with perforation in sanding foot
! replace worn sanding sheets in time
! always use the tool with the total VELCRO
surface covered with sanding paper
• Dust/chip extraction 9
- mount dust extraction device D as illustrated
- connect vacuum cleaner
! do not use dust extraction device/vacuum cleaner
when sanding metal
- clean dust extraction device D regularly for optimal
dust pick-up performance
• On/off
- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch E 2 in "I"/"O"
position
! before the accessory reaches the workpiece, the
tool should run at full speed
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
• Adjusting working speed 0
- with wheel F the required oscillating frequency can be
adjusted from low (1) to high (6) (also while tool is
running)
- the optimal working speed depends on the material
and can be determined with practical trials
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s) !
- keep ventilation slots G 2 uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool (excessive
pressure will cause excessive heat and may shorten
the service life of the accessory)

reach areas)
• Use plunge-cut saw blade J 2 for separating and deep
plunge cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Use plunge-cut saw blade K 2 for smaller separating
and plunge cuts in ferrous and non-ferrous metals
• Use plunge-cut saw blade L 2 for separating and deep
plunge-cuts in wood, plaster, gypsum and soft plastics
(also for sawing close to edges, in corners and other

NOISE / VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 62841 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 85 dB(A) and the sound
power level 96 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration ✱ (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱ when sanding 4.1 m/s²
✱ when cutting with plunge-cut saw blade 7.4 m/s²
✱ when cutting with segment saw blade 7.1 m/s²
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841; it
may be used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
