Learning to use the tool
Getting the most out of your oscillating tool is a matter of
learning to let the speed and feel of the tool in your hands
work for you. The first step in learning to use the tool is to
become familiar with the feel of it. Hold it in your hand and
feel its weight and balance. Depending on the application,
you will need to adjust your hand position for optimum
comfort and control. The special comfort grip on the tool
body provides additional comfort and control during use.
When gripping the tool, do not cover the ventilation
openings with your hand. Blocking the vents may result in
the motor overheating.
Turning ON
• Connect the plug to the socket.
• Slide the switch (A) forward so that the power tool can
be switched on.
• Slide the switch backwards to stop its operation.
• Start the tool before working and turn it off only when
you stop working.
OFF
LED light on
• The LED work light comes on when the switch is slid

Speed control
• Rotate the speed control (B) to select the oscillation
frequency (speed) with the engine running.

• The speed control allows you to adjust the appropriate
oscillation frequency level depending on the accessories
used and the work to be done. See the following table.

• To achieve the best results when working with different
materials, adjust the variable speed control to suit the job.
To select the proper speed for the accessory you are using,
practice on scrap material first.
• The tool is equipped with an internal electronic feedback
system, which helps maintain the preset speed nearly
constant between no-load and load conditions.
NOTE: Speed is affected by voltage variations. A decrease
in input voltage will reduce the OPM of the tool, especially
at the lowest setting. If the tool seems to be running
slowly, increase the speed setting accordingly. The tool
may not start at the lowest switch setting in areas where
the outlet voltage is less than 127V. Simply move the
speed setting to a higher position to begin operation.
