Level 1 represents the minimum oscillation rate; level 6 represents the maximum oscillation rate. You can adjust the oscillation rate while the multifunction-tool is switched on.
Cleaning and maintenance − The material removal rate and sanding quality are primarily determined by the selection of the sanding sheet , the preselected oscillation rate and the pressing force. − Press the multifunction-tool evenly and not too hard against the workpiece. Pressing too strongly does not increase performance.
Storage and transport − Make sure that no water or other liquids penetrate the housing of the multifunction tool. Cleaning the multifunction tool After every use 1.
