Troubleshooting Cutting Performance

  1. Check Power Supply
    • For cordless tools, ensure the battery is fully charged.
    • For corded tools, always unplug before changing or inspecting accessories.
  2. Use the Correct Blade for the Task

    • Look at the blade tooth profile:
      • Fine teeth: Suitable for cutting metal.
      • Aggressive teeth: Designed for wood.
    • Multi-tool blades are intended for plunge cutting and trimming materials such as wood, plasterboard, plastic, and non-ferrous metals.
       
  3. Do Not Use on Wet Materials
    • Multi-functional tools are for dry materials only. Using them on wet surfaces can damage the tool and pose a safety risk.
  4. Avoid Excessive Pressure
    • Pressing too hard can slow the oscillation and reduce cutting efficiency. Let the tool do the work—apply steady, controlled pressure.
  5. Check Blade Condition
    • Replace blades that are worn, dull, or damaged, as they will cut poorly.
