• Changing accessories
q
! remove battery from tool
- remove/mount the required accessory as illustrated
- When the clamping lever is perpendicular to the tool,
it can be rotated 360° to nd a position where the
crossbar can stuck the groove after ipping over. The
clamping screw with washer can only be loosened or
tightened when the crossbar of the clamping lever is
stuck in the groove.
- ensure that the openings of the accessory engage into
the tabs of the tool head (any snap-in position possible)
- mount the accessory with the depressed centre
pointing downwards
- check the tight seating of the accessory (incorrect
or not securely fastened accessories can come loose
during operation and create a hazard)
• Mounting of sanding sheet
w
- tap the dust out of the VELCRO material on sanding
pad E before mounting the sanding sheet
- mount VELCRO sanding sheet H as illustrated
! replace worn sanding sheets in time
! always use the tool with the total VELCRO surface
covered with sanding sheet

- with wheel D the required oscillating frequency can
be adjusted from low (1) to high (6) (also while tool is
running)
- the optimal working speed depends on the material
and can be determined with practical trials
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s)
r
- keep ventilation slots K uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool (excessive
pressure will cause excessive heat and may shorten
the service life of the accessory)
