- Tool Preparation: Clean the tool's accessory mount to ensure no debris interferes with the blade's attachment.
- Blade Attachment: Align the blade's mounting interface with the MultiMaster's accessory mount. Secure the blade firmly according to your tool's specific locking mechanism (e.g., Starlock system). Ensure the blade is seated correctly and does not wobble.

5. Operating Instructions
This diamond-coated cleaning blade is designed for removing old mortar from flanks. Always prioritize safety and follow best practices for oscillating tool operation.
- Work Area Preparation: Ensure your work area is well-lit and clear of obstructions. Secure the workpiece to prevent movement during operation.
- Tool Settings: Adjust the oscillating tool's speed settings as recommended for mortar removal. Start with a lower speed and increase as needed for effective material removal and control.
- Blade Positioning: Position the diamond-coated edge of the blade against the mortar flank you intend to clean. Maintain a stable grip on the tool.
- Controlled Movement: Apply steady, even pressure and move the tool along the mortar joint. The straight blade design facilitates controlled cuts, minimizing damage to surrounding materials. Avoid excessive force, which can lead to premature blade wear or damage to the workpiece.
- Dust Management: Mortar removal generates dust. Use a dust extraction system with your MultiMaster tool if available, or wear a dust mask to protect your respiratory system.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the cleaned area to ensure all old mortar is removed and the surface is prepared for refilling.

6. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance extends the life of your diamond-coated cleaning blade and ensures continued performance.
- Cleaning: After each use, clean the blade to remove any accumulated mortar dust or debris. A stiff brush can be used. Ensure the diamond coating is free from obstructions.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the blade for signs of wear, damage, or dullness. A worn blade will reduce efficiency and may affect the quality of your work.
- Storage: Store the blade in a dry, protected environment to prevent rust and damage. Keep it away from moisture and corrosive materials.
- Replacement: Replace the blade when it becomes excessively worn or damaged. Using a dull or damaged blade can be unsafe and ineffective.
