NOTE: The Variable Speed dial will change the
oscillation frequency of the tool. Use the Variable Speed
Dial in conjunction with Work Mode to set the best
oscillating speed and angle for the application being
performed. Materials and user preference will vary.
Practice on a scrap of material to determine the best
setting for the desired result.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR TOOL:
Always make sure the Oscillation Angle Switch is
pushed completely into place. If the Angle Switch in left
in an intermediate position, the tool will not function
properly.
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when
used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run
it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always keep the
blade sharp.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of
the cutting or sanding finish.
Start your tool before working and turn it off only after
you stop working.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away , it will
damage the sanding pad. The guarantee does not cover
sanding pad wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium
grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for finishing
surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap
material.
Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and
cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly
will maintain optimum working efficiency.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out
any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in
your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners
to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the
motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through
the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage
your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
