INTENDED USE
This Bosch MXH180 Oscillating Tool is
intended for dry sanding of surfaces, corners,
edges, for scraping, for sawing soft metals,
LEARNING TO USE THE TOOL
Getting the most out of your oscillating tool is a
matter of learning how to let the speed and the
feel of the tool in your hands work for you.
The first step in learning to use the tool is to
get the "feel" of it. Hold it in your hand and feel
its weight and balance (Fig. 3). Depending on
the application, you will need to adjust your
hand position to achieve optimum comfort and
control. The unique comfort grip on the body of
the tool allows for added comfort and control
during use.
FIG. 3
When holding tool, do not cover the air vents
with your hand. Blocking the air vents could
cause the motor to overheat.
IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material first
to see how the tool's high-speed action
performs. Keep in mind that your tool will
perform best by allowing the speed, along with
the correct accessory, do the work for you. Be
careful not to apply too much pressure.
Instead, lower the oscillating accessory lightly
to the work surface and allow it to touch the
point at which you want to begin. Concentrate
on guiding the tool over the work using very
little pressure from your hand. Allow the
accessory to do the work.
Introduction
wood and plastic components, and for grout
removal using the applicable tools and
accessories recommended by Bosch.
Operating Instructions
Usually it is better to make a series of passes
with the tool rather than to do the entire job
with one pass. To make a cut, for example,
pass the tool back and forth over the work. Cut
a little material on each pass until you reach
the desired depth.
The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch
located on the topside of the motor housing
(Fig. 1).
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" slide the switch
button forward to the "I" .
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF" slide the switch
button backward the "0" .
Your tool is equipped with an internal
electronic feedback system that provides a
"soft start", which will reduce the stresses that
occur from a high torque start. The system
also helps to keep the preselected speed
virtually constant between no-load and load
conditions.
This tool is equipped with a variable speed
dial. The speed may be controlled during
operation by presetting the dial in any one of
six positions (Fig. 1).
The Bosch MXH180 has a high oscillating
motion of 8,000 - 20,000 /min (OPM). The
high speed motion allows the Bosch MXH180
to achieve with excellent results. The
oscillating motion allows the dust to fall to the
surface rather than slinging particles into the
air.
To achieve the best results when working
with different materials, set the variable
speed control to suit the job (See Speed
Chart on Page 13 for guidance) . To select
the right speed for the accessory in use,
practice with scrap material first.
