oscillating tool in this manner will prolong
switch and motor life, and greatly increase
the quality of your work.
Move the oscillating tool in long steady
strokes parallel to the grain using some
lateral motion to overlap the strokes by as
much as 75%. DO NOT apply excessive
pressure - let the tool do the work. Excessive
pressure will result in poor handling,
vibration, and unwanted sanding marks.
GRINDING
The diamond paper accessory
allows for the Multi-Max™ to be
used for grinding away cement,
plaster or thin set. Preparing the surface for
tile replacement is a common application for
this accessory.
The diamond paper needs to be mounted to
the backing pad prior to use.
The carbide rasp accessory also
allows the Multi-Max™ to grind
away cement, thinset mortar,
plaster, and also wood. This accessory is
commonly used to prepare for tile
replacement or rasping wood to smooth a
surface or remove material.
The speed should be set at high speed for
aggressive material removal or at low speed
for a more detailed removal of material.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the tool-
let it do the work.
Corners may be finished using the tip or edge
of the selected accessory, which should
occasionally be rotated during use to
distribute the wear on the accessory and
backing pad surface.
Grind with a continuous motion and light
pressure. DO NOT apply excessive pressure -
let the tool do the work. Excessive pressure
will result in poor handling, vibration, and
premature wear on the diamond paper sheet.
