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.
