Check that the switch is in the “OFF” position

before connecting to the power supply. Switch to

“OFF” immediately after completion of the task.

Keep the mains cable away from any moving parts

or accessories.

Never cover the ventilation slots in the tool.

WARNING! Read all safety warnings

and all instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may result in

electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for

future reference. The term “power tool”

in all of the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or

battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own

cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire

may make exposed metal parts of the power tool

“live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory

or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and

knowledge, unless they have been given supervision

or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a

person responsible for their safety.

Recommendations for the use of a residual

current device with a rated residual current of

Before you connect the charger to the mains supply

make sure that the data on the rating plate are

identical to the mains data.

If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced

by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to

avoid a hazard.

Always use an approved extension lead suitable for

the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the

extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing.

Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.

When using an extension lead on a reel, always

unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead

not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is

damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and

electric shock.

This tool is double insulated; therefore no

earth wire is required.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you

to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord

for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power

tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

3) Personal safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Personal protective equipment

such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,

or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting

to power source and/or battery pack, picking up

or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

finger on the switch or energising power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A wrench or

a key left attached to a rotating part of the power

tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing

or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving

parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

ensure these are connected and properly

used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-

related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source

and/or the battery pack from the power tool

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tools operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before

use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and

tool bits etc. in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for

the particular type of power tool, taking into

account the working conditions and the work

to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

5) Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a

qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

Adjusting the Variable Speed

Note: In various applications you will need to select the

correct speed.

1. When the Multi Function Tool power is turned on,

select the “speed” by scrolling the variable speed

dial (1) to your desired speed. (Fig. 5) The higher the

number on the variable speed dial (1) the faster the

oscillation frequency of the Multi Function Tool.

2. Recommended oscillation frequency for applications:

• High oscillation frequency

Sanding, sawing, rasping, and polishing stone

and metal (rasping and polishing accessories not

supplied)

• Low oscillation frequency

Polishing varnishes (polishing accessories not

supplied)

Choosing the Correct Sanding Paper

Sanding paper (9) is rated according to the number

marked on the rear of the sanding paper (9). The

higher the number, the smaller and less coarse the

particles are on the sanding paper (9). The lower the

number, the larger and more coarse the particles

are on the sanding paper, this will provide a more

aggressive sanding action.

Coarse grit (eg.60) is used for removing paint and

sanding down rough surfaces.

Medium grit (eg.80) is used for sanding down plain

timber .

Fine grit (eg.120) is used to give a smooth finish to

bare wood.

Extra fine grit (eg.400-1200) is used for polishing or

sanding between coats of paint.

WARNING! Be sure to disconnect

the rotary tool from the power

supply before tting or removing

accessory bits.

Your XU1 Multi Function Tool has been designed

Changing Sanding Paper

Note: The sanding pad (10) is a hook and loop

baseplate covered with Velcro material. The

sanding paper (9) can be easily attached or

removed from the Velcro fastening system.

1. Align the sanding paper (9) to the sanding pad

(10) and press firmly to hold in place. As this

product does not include a dust extraction

system, it is not critical that the holes in the

sanding paper lines up with the holes on the

sanding pad.

2. To remove or change the sanding paper

carefully peel off the sanding paper from one

of the triangle ends (Fig. 3).

• Keep the ventilation slots of the Multi Function

Tool clean at all times, if possible, prevent

foreign matter from entering the vents.

• After each use, blow air through the Multi

Function Tool housing to ensure it is free from

all dust particles which may build up. Build up of

dust particles may cause the Multi Function Tool

to overheat and fail.

• If the enclosure of the Multi Function Tool

requires cleaning do not use solvents but a

moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get

inside the Tool; never immerse any part of the

Multi Function Tool into a liquid.

Carbon brushes

When the carbon brushes wear out the Multi

Function Tool will spark and/or stop. Discontinue

use as soon as this happens. They should be

replaced prior to recommencing use of the Multi

Function Tool. Carbon brushes are a wearing

component of the tool therefore not covered under

warranty. Continuing to use the Multi Function Tool

when carbon brushes need to be replaced may

cause permanent damage to the Multi Function

Tool. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses

but when the carbon brushes need to be replaced

take the tool to an electrician or a power tool

repairer for a replacement. Always replace both

carbon brushes at the same time.

Note: XU1 will not be responsible for any damage

or injuries caused by the repair of the tool by an

unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.

If there are still marks on your work after

sanding, try stepping back to a coarser grade

of sanding paper and sanding the marks out.

Then recommence with the original choice of

grit, or try using a finer (higher numbered) piece

of sanding paper (9) to eliminate the unwanted

marks and finish the job.

Note: Try not to apply excessive pressure when

using the Multi Function Tool as a sander.

Excessive pressure with sanding paper (9) can

lead to swirl marks or “ring” impressions on your

workpiece.

Sanding

In sanding mode, the Multi Function Tool can be

used on materials such as wood, plastic, metal

and painted surfaces.

Caution: Ensure the Multi Function Tool is not

placed on the workpiece.

Note: Ensure you have the correct sanding paper

for your application. Always test on a scrap

workpiece before using on your workpiece.

1. Slide the on/off switch (2) forward to the “0”

position.

2. Select the desired oscillation frequency speed

on the variable speed dial (1) and wait until

the motor reaches its maximum speed.

3. Place the Multi Function Tool on your

workpiece, ensuring the whole area of the

sanding pad (10) is in contact with the work

surface (Fig. 6).

4. Allow the Multi Function Tool to do the work

and do not apply heavy pressure on the

Multi Function Tool. Heavy pressure will not

increase the removal of material but may

wear your sanding paper (9) faster.

5. If sanding corners in hard to reach areas use

the tip or triangle edge of the sanding pad (10)

(Fig. 7).

Note: Sanding pad must be kept flat on

workpiece. Do not tilt the sanding base and use

the edge of the sanding paper. This may cause

damage to the sanding pad, reducing its ability

to hold your sanding paper.

Sawing – Square Blade

CAUTION: Clamp your workpiece securely if

possible and ensure the Multi Function Tool is

not placed on the workpiece before commencing

your work.

Note: Ensure your blades are not blunt or

damaged in any way before commencing your

application.

1. In sawing mode, the Multi Function Tool can

be used on wood, plastics and sheet metal.

2. Slide the on/off switch (2) forward to the “0”

position.

3. Select the desired oscillation frequency speed

on the variable speed dial (1) and wait until

the motor reaches its maximum speed

4. If plunging use a slight pendulum motion, to

allow sufficient chip or debris removal (Fig. 8).

Note: If using the Multi Function Tool for plunge

cuts. Only use this application on soft materials

such as wood, gypsum plaster boards. Also

check if there are no nails or screws in the

workpiece before cutting.
