Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if the equipment is used over a pro-longed period or is not properly guided and maintained.

Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.

Fitting the plug-in tools (Figures 1/2/3)

Open the quick-release lock for changing tools (5) as shown in Fig. 2.
To fit the plug-in tools safely you should hold the multifunction tool so that the On/Off switch (1) points down and the tool chuck (2) faces up.
Place the plug-in tool (e.g. the scraper) on the tool chuck (2) so that the pins of the tool chuck fit into the recesses in the plug-in tool. The tool chuck (2) is magnetic in order to secure the plug-in tool during the clamping procedure.
Close the quick-release lock for changing tools (5) again. Take care that the pins of the chuck (2) remain in the recesses in the plug-in tool.
The equipment comes with a disk (14) for safely securing plug-in tools with recesses. Please note the correct use (camber facing the tool) of the disk (14) for plug-in tools with recess as shown in Fig. 8 and 9.

Check that the plug-in tool is secure.

Triangular sanding/grinding plate

Fit the triangular sanding/grinding plate to use the equipment as a delta sander/grinder.

Fastening the sanding/grinding paper Easy replacement using hook-and-loop fastening. Make sure that the vacuum extraction holes on the sanding/grinding paper and the sanding/grin-ding disk are aligned.

Fitting the dust extraction device (Fig. 4/5/6)

The dust extraction device prevents the accumulation of dirt and high dust loads in the air, and it makes it easier to dispose of the dust.

Open the quick-release lock for changing tools and place the equipment in a stable position as described in 5.1.
Mount the dust extraction device (6a) on the tool chuck (2) as shown in Fig. 4.
Fasten the dust extraction device (6a) with the fastening clip (6b) by latching it in the air vents of the equipment as shown in Fig. 5.
Connect the extractor adapter (3) to the dust extraction device (6a). Make sure that the arrow (A) on the extractor device coincides with the recess (B) on the dust extraction device (6a) (see Fig. 5). Turn the extractor adapter (3) anti-clockwise until it engages..
Connect your tool to an extraction unit or vacuum cleaner. This will provide excellent extraction of chips and dust from the workpiece.

The beneﬁts are that you will protect both the equipment and your own health. Your work area will also be clean and safe.

Slide the switch (1) to the rear to switch oﬀ the equipment.

Practical tips

Switch on the equipment.
Work away from the body.
Never move your hands into the direct vicinity of the work area.
Use only plug-in tools which are in good working order and undamaged.

Plug-in tools
Sawing: Sawing wood and plastic.
Notes on working practice: When sawing, watch out for foreign bodies in the workpiece and remove these if necessary. Plunge cutting is allowed only in soft materials such as wood or plaster-board.

Sanding/grinding: Surface sanding/grinding at edges, in corners or hard- to-reach areas. Depending on choice of sanding/grinding paper for the sanding/grinding of wood, paint, lacquer, etc. Notes on working practice: This equipment oﬀers particularly high performance for the sanding/grinding of hard-to-reach corners and edges. To sand/grind proﬁles and channels you can also work with just the tip or the edge of the sanding/grinding disk. Various sanding/grinding papers are available, specially designed for the diﬀerent types of material you may be working on and the amount you wish to remove from the surface. The amount removed will depend largely on the choice of sanding/grinding paper and pressure applied to the sanding/grinding disk.

Scraping: Scraping oﬀ old paint or adhesives. Notes on working practice: Move the plug-in tool against the area you want to remove. Begin with a ﬂ at angle of incidence and little pressure. The surface (e.g. wood, plaster) may be damaged if too much pressure is used.

Speed control (Fig. 7)

You can select the speed by turning the speed controller (4).
