General Warnings
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 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. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
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. 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. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. 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. 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. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
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. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. 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. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 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. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
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. 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. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
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. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, 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. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
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.
Additional Safety Warnings
Always inspect accessories for damage (breakage, cracks) before each use. Never use if damage is suspected. GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician's rubber gloves and footwear will further enhance your personal safety. Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to the operator. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control the power tool.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Mounting/Replacing a Sanding Sheet on the Sanding Plate
The sandpaper accessories must be used together with the Oscillating Sanding Pad accessories.
The sanding pad is fitted with Velcro backing for quick and easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro Adhesion.
Before attaching the sanding sheet, free the Velcro backing of the sanding plate from any debris by tapping against it to enable optimum adhesion. Position the sanding sheet flush alongside one edge of the sanding plate, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding plate and press it against it with a light turning motion in a clockwise direction.
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in the sanding plate.
To remove the sanding sheet, grasp it at one of the tips and pull it off from the sanding plate.
NOTE: Sanding accessories, such as fleece pads/polishing cloth pads, are attached to the sanding plate in the same manner.
Selecting the Sanding Sheet
Depending on the material to be worked and the required rate of material removal, different sanding sheets are available:
Material | Usage | Grains |
---|---|---|
All wooden materials (e.g., hardwood, softwood, chipboard, building board) | For coarse-sanding, e.g. of rough, unplanned beams and boards | coarse 40, 60 |
For face sanding and planing small irregularities | medium 80, 100, 120 | |
For finish and fine sanding of wood | fine 180, 240, 320, 400 | |
Metal materials | For sanding off paint | coarse 40, 60 |
For sanding primer (e.g., for removing brush dashes, drops of paint and paint run) | medium 80, 100, 120 | |
For final sanding of primers before coating | fine 180, 240, 320 | |
Masonry, stone, Marble, Granite, Glass, Plexiglas, Glass-fibre plastics | For shaping and braking edges | medium 80, 100, 120 |
For final sanding and forming | fine 180, 240, 320, 400 | |
For polish-sanding and rounding off edges | very fine 600, 1200 |
NOTE: Model GX-MT04 products come standard with P60/P80/P120 specification sandpaper. Should you require sandpaper of different specifications, it must be purchased separately.
Operation
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with 120 V 60Hz.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, push the On/Off switch forward so that the "I" is indicated on the switch. To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch toward the rear so that the "O" is indicated on the switch.
Preselecting the Orbital Stroke Rate
The model GX-MT04 Oscillating Tools offers single speed settings, with oscillation speeds of 22,000 OPM (Oscillations Per Minute).
Operating Instructions
Note: Do not cover the venting slots of the machine while working, as this reduces the working life of the machine. While working with tools, make sure that the covering of the tools is undamaged.
Operating Principle
Due to the oscillating drive, the application tool/accessory swings up to 22000 times per minute for 2.8°. This allows for precise work in narrow spaces.
Sawing
Use undamaged, faultless saw blades only. Deformed, blunt saw blades or saw blades that are otherwise damaged can break.
When sawing light building materials, observe the statutory provisions and the recommendations of the material suppliers.
High speed steel cutting parts are not only suitable for sawing wood, particleboard, building materials and other materials, but also for nails, screws and other metal materials.
Note: HCS Saw Blade (High-carbon steel) is not suitable for cutting metal materials.
Scraping
Note: The tools wear heavily when used for longer periods of time.
Sanding
The removal rate and the sanding pattern are primarily determined by the choice of sanding sheet, the preset oscillation rate, and the applied pressure. Only flawless sanding sheets achieve good sanding capacity and extend the service life of the machine.
Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life of the sanding sheets. Intensifying the sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the machine and the sanding sheet.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners, and hard-to-reach areas, it is also possible to work only with the tip or an edge of the sanding plate.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other materials.
