before plugging in the power cord.
The numbered positions,1 through 6
inscribed on the variable speed dial, do
not indicate any precise speed but are
good reference points. The higher the
number, the higher the tool speed.
The approximate speed at each setting is:

(Actual OPMʼs on your tool may vary.)
Be sure to select the proper speed for your oscillating tool operation. If in doubt about
the proper speed for your operation, test the performance at low speed settings and
gradually increase until a comfortable speed is found.
• Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any
movement of the material may affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.
• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper attached to sanding platen.
• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and
fine grit for the finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.
• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor overload.
Replacing the accessory regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency.
• Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage the sanding pad.
• If the tool overheats, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum
and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at
very low speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.
