Operating Instructions

LEARNING TO USE THE TOOL

Getting the most out of your oscillating tool is a matter of learning how to let the speed and the feel of the tool in your hands work for you.

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 (Fig. 5). Depending on the application, you will need to adjust your hand position to achieve optimum comfort and control. The unique comfort grip on the body of the tool allows for added comfort and control during use.

When holding tool, do not cover the air vents with your hand. Blocking the air vents could cause the motor to overheat.

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.
