When extracting dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special dust extractor.
Operation
Starting Operation
Switching On/Off
Make sure that you are able to press the On/Off switch
u
without releasing the handle.
To switch on the power tool, slide the on/off switch (2) for-
ward so that "I" appears on the switch.
The electronic soft start limits the torque when the power
tool is switched on and increases the service life of the mo-
tor.
The Constant Electronic keeps the oscillation speed at no
load and under load virtually consistent, guaranteeing uni-
form performance.
To switch off the power tool, slide the on/off switch (2)
backwards so that "0" appears on the switch.
Note: If the power tool shuts down automatically because
the battery is flat or overheated, switch the power tool off
using the on/off switch (2).
Charge the battery or let it cool down before switching the
power tool on again. Failure to do so can damage the bat-
tery.
The 180° light band (11) improves visibility in the immedi-
ate work area. It is automatically switched on and off with
the power tool.
Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind
u
you.
Preselecting the oscillation speed
You can even preselect the required oscillation speed during
operation using the oscillation speed preselection thumb-
wheel (6).
The required oscillation speed is dependent on the material
and the work conditions and can be determined using prac-
tical tests.
– A maximum oscillation speed rate level of "6" is recom-
mended for sawing wood.
– "4" is the maximum oscillation speed rate level suitable
for sanding.
– "4" is the maximum oscillation speed rate level suitable
for sawing plastic and metal.
Caution: Please take note of the information concerning the
maximum oscillation speed rate on the accessories or on the
packaging of the accessories. Oscillation speed rate level "4"
is the maximum level that should be used when working with
accessories such as sanding and RIFF accessories.
Note: If the oscillation speed rate is too high, this will consid-
erably increase the wear on the accessories and can also
lead to their premature breakdown.
Working Advice
Before carrying out any work on the power tool (e.g.
u
maintenance, tool change etc.), remove the battery
1 609 92A B1B | (19.12.2024)
from the power tool. There is risk of injury from uninten-
tionally pressing the on/off switch.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a com-
u
plete stop before placing it down.
Note: Do not keep the ventilation slots (7) on the power tool
closed when working as this will reduce the service life of the
power tool.
Operating principle
The oscillating drive causes the accessory to oscillate back
and forth by 2.8° up to 20000 times per minute. This en-
ables precise work in the tightest of spaces.
Use a consistent, low contact pressure when
performing work; otherwise, the performance
will be impaired and the accessory may jam.
While working, move the power tool back and
forth to prevent the accessory overheating and
jamming.
Sawing
Use only undamaged saw blades that are in perfect
u
condition. Bent or dull saw blades can break, negatively
influence the cut, or lead to kickback.
When sawing lightweight materials, take into account
u
the statutory provisions and recommendations of the
material manufacturers.
Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials,
u
such as wood, gypsum board, etc.
Make sure that there are no power lines behind the
u
workpiece to be cut.
Before using HCS saw blades to saw into wood, chipboard,
building materials, etc., check these saw blades for foreign
objects, such as nails, screws, etc. Remove the foreign ob-
jects as required or use bi-metal saw blades.
Cutting
Note: When cutting wall tiles, please bear in mind that the
accessories are subject to high wear if used for extended
periods.
Sanding
The material removal rate and sanding result are primarily
determined by the choice of sanding sheet, the preselected
oscillation speed level and the contact pressure.
Only immaculate sanding sheets achieve good sanding per-
formance and make the power tool last longer.
Be sure to apply consistent contact pressure in order to in-
crease the lifetime of the sanding sheets.
Excessively increasing the contact pressure will not lead to
increased sanding performance; rather, it will cause more
severe wear of the power tool and premature failure of the
sanding plate.
To sand corners, edges and hard-to-reach areas accurately,
you can also work with the tips alone or with an edge of the
sanding plate.
