APPLICATIONS
NOTE: Recommended accessories for this tool are referred to as Universal Quick-Fit oscillating tool
accessories. GENESIS™ Universal Quick- Fit oscillating tool accessories are designed and
recommended to work with this tool.
This multi-purpose oscillating tool is intended for cutting and sanding wood, plastic, plaster and
non-ferrous metals. It is especially suitable for cutting in tight spaces and for flush cutting. Following
are a few typical uses.
CUTTING (FIG 4, 5, 6)
Use a flush cutting saw blade (or “e-cut blade”) for
making precise cuts in tight areas, close to edges,
plunge or flush to a surface. It is important not to force
the tool during the flush cutting. If you are
experiencing a strong vibration during cut, it indicates
too much hand pressure is on the tool. Back off on the
pressure and let the speed of the tool do the work.
See FiG 4, 5 for examples of using the flush cutting
saw blade.
NOTE: It is suggested that you have a piece of scrap
material supporting the blade when making a flush cut.
If you need to rest the blade on a delicate surface, you
need to use cardboard or masking tape to protect the
surface.
Use the segmented saw blade for making continuous
precise cuts in wood, plastic or drywall material.
Applications include: cutting openings for electrical
boxes, repairing flooring, cutting flooring for venting,
and more. See FIG 6 for an example of how to use
the segmented saw blade.
