8.3.2 Sawing
Use undamaged faultless saw blades only. Deformed, blunt saw blades or
saw blades that are otherwise damaged can break.
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum
plaster boards, etc.!
Before sawing with saw blades in wood, particle board, building materials, etc., check these
for foreign objects such as nails, screws, or similar. If required, remove foreign objects or use
saw blades for metal.
8.3.3 Sanding
The removal rate and the sanding pattern are primarily determined by the choice of sanding
sheet, the pre-set oscillation rate and the applied pressure.
Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity and extend the service life of the
machine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life of the sanding
sheets.
Intensifying the sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to
increased wear of the machine and the sanding sheet.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard to reach areas, it is also possible
to work with the finger sanding pad.
When selectively sanding on the spot, the sanding sheet can heat up considerably. Reduce
the orbital stroke rate and allow the sanding sheet to cool down regularly.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other materials.
8.3.4 Scraping
For scraping, select a high oscillation rate.
Work on a soft surface (e.g. wood) at a flat angle and apply only light pressure. Otherwise the
scraper can cut into the surface.
9 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any work on the equipment, pull the power plug.
▪ Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to prevent overheating of the engine.
▪ Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use.
▪ Keep the ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
▪ If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
▪ Never use solvents such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may
damage the plastic parts.
Make sure no water can reach the inside of the power tool!
