Recommended oscillating tool accessories for this tool are the
GENESIS™ oscillating tool accessories. Please refer to "Genesis Oscillating
Tool Accessory Reference Guide" Sheet enclosed 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 (FIG 6,7,8)
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 6, 7 for typical uses for 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 half-round flat saw blade 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 8 for how to
use of flat saw blade.
SANDING (FIG 9)
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 9.
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 10)
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 a large area.
use a flexible scraper blade (not included) to remove softer material such as caulk.
