APPLICATIONS

NOTE: This tool must be used only with GENESIS oscillating tool accessories. See Accessories Chart for details.

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:

Use a flush cutting saw blade (or “e-cut blade”) for making precise cuts in tight areas, close to edges or flush to a surface. It is important not to force the tool during the flush cutting. If you are experiencing a strong vibration in your hand during the plunge cut, it indicates too much pressure on the tool. Back off on the pressure and let the speed of tool do the work. See FIG 3, FIG 4 for typical uses of 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.

FIG 3 FIG 4 FIG 5

Use the half-round flat saw blade (5) for making precise cuts in wood, plaster or drywall material. Applications include cutting openings for electrical boxes, repairing flooring, cutting flooring for venting, and more. See FIG 5 for use of flat saw blade.

Sanding

With sanding accessories, this tool is a detail sander. It is suitable for dry sanding of wood, plastic, and metal surfaces, especially in corners, edges and hard to reach areas. See FIG 6

Tips:

1. Work with the complete surface of the sandpaper, not only with the tip.

2. Sand with continuous motion and light pressure. Do not apply excessive pressure. Let tool do the work.

3. Always secure small work pieces.

4. Select suitable abrasive paper for best results.

Scraping

FIG 6

Scraper blades are suitable for removing vinyl, varnish, paint layers, carpeting, caulk and other adhesives.

Use a rigid scraper blade to remove harder materials, such as vinyl flooring, carpeting and tile adhesives in large area. Use a flexible scraper blade (not included) to remove softer material such as caulk. See FIG 7

Tips:

1.When removing strong, tacky adhesive, grease the scraper blade surface to reduce gumming up.

2.Begin with light pressure. The oscillating motion of accessory only occurs when pressure is applied to the material to be removed.

3.If you are removing caulk from a delicate surface, such as a bath tub or tile back splash, we

recommend taping to protect the surface that blade will rest on.	FIG 7
Grout Removal
Use a grout removal blade (not included) to remove damaged or cracked grout, or in order to replace
a damaged or broken tile.
To remove the grout, use a back and forth motion, making several passes along the grout line. Be
careful not to apply too much side pressure on the grout blade. See FIG 8
