IMPORTANT: Not to be used for wet sanding.
Unpacking Your Product
• Carefully unpack and inspect your product. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure all parts of the product are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this product
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
WARNING: Always wear suitable gloves when handling blades or other sharp accessories.
Fitting Accessories
IMPORTANT: Some pre-assembly of the Sanding Sheet Backing Pad (9) may have happened during
the manufacturing process. The Backing Pad Washer (12) may be pre-installed into the Sanding
Sheet Backing Pad. The Mounting Bolt Washer (11) should not be use when fitting the backing pad.
1. Use the supplied Hex Key (17) to loosen and remove the Accessory Mounting Bolt (10) and
Mounting Bolt Washer (11) from the Accessory Mounting Flange (1) (Fig. I)
2. Position the accessory on to the Accessory Mounting Flange, so that the mounting holes in the
accessory engage with the pins on the Accessory Mounting Flange (Fig. II)
Note: The accessories can be mounted at various angles but must always engage with the pins on
the Accessory Mounting Flange (Fig. III).
3. Re-fit the Accessory Mounting Bolt and Mounting Bolt Washer
IMPORTANT: If the Backing Pad Washer (12) was not pre-installed during the manufacturing
process, ensure it is inserted into the Sanding Sheet Backing Pad (9) instead of using the Mounting
Bolt Washer (11) before attaching the Sanding Sheet Backing Pad to the tool. (See Fig. IV for
assembly.)
4. Before using the tool, check the accessory is securely fitted and the Accessory Mounting Bolt is
tight
Note: Cranked accessorises must be mounted with the crank pointing away from the tool (Fig. V).
Selecting the right grade of Sanding Sheet
Note: Always use good quality Sanding Sheets to maximise the quality of the finished task. Always
test the Sheet on a scrap piece of material to determine whether the sanding sheet is suitable for
the intended task:
• Coarse (60 grit) for use on rough material
• Medium (120 grit) for smoothing off
• Fine (240 grit) for finishing
Note: DO NOT use Sanding Sheets designed for wet sanding.
Fitting Sanding Sheets to the Sanding Sheet Backing
Pad
This tool is supplied with a coarse (13) and medium (14) grit Sanding Sheet.
1. Select the required Sanding Sheet for your intended task
2. The Sanding Pad and Sanding Sheets use a hook and loop system for attachment
3. Align the dust extraction holes in the Sanding Sheet with the holes in the Sanding Sheet Backing
Pad (9) (Fig. VI)
Note: Failure to align the holes on the Sanding Sheet with the holes on the Sanding Sheet Backing
Pad will cause dust to build up on the Sanding Sheet and reduce the service life of the Sanding
Sheet.
4. Press the Sanding Sheet onto the Sanding Sheet Backing Pad to attach the Sanding Sheet
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye
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 & OFF
1. Hold the tool firmly by the Main Handle (5)
2. Slide the ON/OFF Switch forward to the 'I' position to switch the tool ON (Fig. VII)
3. Slide the ON/OFF Switch backward to the '0' position to switch the tool OFF (Fig. VIII)
Adjusting the tool speed
• The oscillating speed of this multi-tool can be adjusted using the Variable Speed Control Dial
(6) (Fig. IX)
1. To increase tool speed, turn the Variable Speed Control Dial to a higher setting
2. To decrease tool speed, turn the Variable Speed Control Dial to a lower setting
Note: Adjust tool speed to best suit the work carried out, and to adapt to material requirements.
Also refer to the accessory manufacturer's instructions, with regards to tool speed selection.
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, created when cutting metal, can also cause permanent 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 adequate breathing protection. Some dusts may be
toxic especially from man-made composite materials.
Sawing
• Ensure the saw blade is sharp and in good condition
• Do not use saw blades that are damaged or deformed in any way
• When sawing light building materials, follow the recommendations of the material suppliers
• Apply plunge cuts to soft materials ONLY, for example wood, plasterboard etc.
• If using saw blades not designed for cutting metal, ensure there are no nails or screws
embedded in the workpiece. If necessary, remove embedded objects or use metal cutting saw
blades instead
Sanding
• The removal rate and the sanding pattern are determined by the type of sanding sheet, the
preset oscillation rate and the applied pressure
• Pay particular attention to applying uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life
of the sanding sheets
• Intensifying the sanding pressure will not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to
increased wear of the machine and premature wear of the sanding sheet
• For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard-to-reach areas, it is also possible to
work only with the tip or an edge of the sanding plate
• A sanding sheet that has been used for sanding metal should not be used for sanding other
materials
• Regularly brush down or vacuum the surface being sanded to ensure the sanding sheet is in
direct contact with the surface
Scraping
• For scraping, select a high-speed setting
• On soft surfaces (e.g. wood), work at a flat angle and apply only light pressure so that the scraper
does not cut into the surface
Accessories
• A full range of accessories including saw blades, scrapers, rasps and sanding sheets is available
from your Silverline stockist
• Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time
• Inspect the tool's Power Cord (7), prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be carried
out by an authorized Silverline service centre. This advice also applies to extension cords used
with this tool
