5. Turn the Quick Lock™ lever on the top of the tool in a

clockwise motion, to the closed position, to securely lock the

accessory in place (Picture 6).

6. To remove an accessory, simply unlock the clamping

mechanism by turning the Quick Lock™ lever counter-

clockwise as described above (Picture 6).

7. Lift up on the accessory bracket to take it off the pins. (Note:

be careful, blade may be hot.)

NOTE: Some accessories, such as scrapers or blades, may be

mounted either straight on the tool, or at an angle to increase

usability (Picture 5). In order to do this with the Quick Lock™

interface, place the accessory onto the accessory holder making

sure the accessory engages all pins in the holder and the

accessory is flush against the accessory holder. Securely lock the

accessory in place as described previously (Picture 6).

INSTALLING AND REMOVING SANDING

SHEETS

Your backing pad uses hook-and-loop backed accessories, which

firmly grip the backing pad when applied with moderate pressure.

1. Align the sanding sheet and press it onto the sanding plate

by hand.

2. Firmly press the power tool with the sanding sheet against

a flat surface and briefly switch the power tool on. This will

promote good adhesion and helps to prevent premature wear.

3. To change, merely peel off the old sanding sheet, remove

dust from the backing pad if necessary, and press the new

sanding sheet in place.

After considerable service the backing pad surface will become

worn, and the backing pad must be replaced when it no longer

offers a firm grip. If you are experiencing premature wear out of

the backing pad facing, decrease the amount of pressure you are

applying during operation of the tool.

For maximum use of abrasive, rotate pad 120 degrees when tip of

abrasive becomes worn.

DUST EXTRACTION

Your tool can be equipped with a dust port with adaptor for dust

extraction (Picture 9). To use this feature, attach the dust port to

the tool (A) and attach vacuum cleaner to the adapter (B).

USE

GETTING STARTED

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 (Picture 10).

Depending on the application, you will need to adjust your hand

position to achieve optimum comfort and control.

When holding the tool, do not cover the air vents with your hand.

Blocking the air vents could cause the motor to overheat.

PICTURE 10

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.

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.

Slide “ON/OFF” switch

The tool is switched “ON” by the slide switch located on the

topside of the motor housing (Picture 1 & 2).

TO TURN THE TOOL “ON”, slide the switch button forward.

TO TURN THE TOOL “OFF”, slide the switch button backward.

Variable speed control dial

This tool is equipped with a variable speed control dial (Picture

11). The speed may be controlled during operation by presetting

the dial in any one of ten positions.

To achieve the best results when working with different materials,

set the variable speed control to suit the job (See Speed Chart).

To select the right speed for the accessory in use, practice with

scrap material first.
