How do I change the accessories?

How do I attach a dust extractor?

What is the benefit of the variable speed control?

Variable speed control allows you to match the oscillation speed to the material you are working with, providing better control and preventing damage to the material or the accessory.

The anti-restart function prevents the tool from starting unexpectedly if the battery is inserted while the switch is locked on, enhancing user safety.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check that the anti-restart function is not engaged by ensuring the switch is in the off position before inserting the battery.

Accessory not tightening properly.

Ensure the correct hex wrench is being used and that the accessory is seated correctly before tightening the screw. Check for any debris in the mounting mechanism.

Reduced cutting or sanding power.

Check the battery charge level. Ensure the accessory is sharp and appropriate for the material. Clean any debris from the tool's motor housing.
