Installing/Removing Sanding Sheets
(Fig. H)
A diamond-shaped platen uses a hook and loop adhesion
system to attach the sanding sheets. The platen allows you
to use it on large flat surfaces and tight spots or corners.
1. Attach the sanding platen accessory as described under
Installing/Removing Accessories.
2. Align the edges on the sanding sheet with the edge
of the sanding platen and press the sanding sheet
onto the platen as shown in Fig. H.
3. Firmly press the base with the sanding sheet
attached against a flat surface and briefly switch the
tool on. This provides for good adhesion between
the platen and the sanding sheet and also helps to
prevent premature wear.
nOTE: When the tip of the sanding sheet becomes
worn, detach the sheet from the platen, rotate,
and reapply.

To Make a Cut
NOTICE: The cutting capacity of the tool is limited by
the type and size of accessory used. Always make sure
to use the correct accessory for your application.
Plunge Cutting
WARNING: Hold saw firmly with both hands for all
cutting operations.
WARNING: Inspect work area for hidden electrical
wiring, gas pipes or water pipes before making blind
or plunge cuts. Failure to do so may result in electrical
shock, fire, explosion, or property damage.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or
dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR
CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Before cutting any type of
material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to
prevent slipping.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Let the tool work at its own
pace. Do not overload; blade breakage may occur.
1. Clearly mark the desired cutting area.
2. Switch the tool on before applying pressure and
slowly feed the blade into the workpiece at the
marked location.
WARNING: CUT HAZARD. Ensure the blade is not in
contact with cutting surface before starting saw.
3. Advance the blade along the cutting line until cut is
completed. Don't force the tool; let the blade cut at its
own speed.
4. Switch the tool off.
nOTE: Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for
the workpiece material and type of cut. Cut only with sharp
blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor
while cutting.
Sanding
WARNING: Fire hazard. When working on metal
surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner because sparks
are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask.
