USER MANUAL PCE605 Porter-Cable

It is important for you to read and understand this manual. The information it contains relates to protecting The symbols below are used to help you recognize this information. Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. Indicates a potentially haz ard ous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or mod er ate injury. Used without the safety alert symbol indicates potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. . Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Protective equipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.” Always check for hidden wiring, gas lines, or other utilities before performing any material cutting or removal operations with the tool.

• . An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.

• Vibration caused by the operating action of this tool may cause permanent injury to fingers, hands, and arms. Use gloves to provide extra cushion, take frequent rest periods, and limit daily time of use.

• Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Let the tool reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut.

• Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

• Do not reach under the material being cut.

• Bent blade can break easily or cause kickback. Exercise extreme caution when handling the accessories. The accessories are very sharp. Wear protective gloves when changing cutting accessories. Accessories become hot after prolonged usage.

If there are nails, either remove them or set them well below intended finished surface. Striking a nail with accessory edge could cause the tool to jump.

Liquids entering the motor housing are an electrical shock hazard.

There is an electrical shock hazard when working in such conditions with a power tool and heating of the liquid caused by scraping action may cause harmful vapors to be emitted from work piece.

• Larger sandpaper will extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations. ALWAYSuse safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:

• NOSH/OSHA respiratory protection. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of California 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.

Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals. Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.

1. Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the

contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.

2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical

analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:

1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being

done until all clean up is completed.

2. A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter

should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing. See your local hardware store for the proper N.I.O.S.H. approved dust mask.

3. NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting

contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.

Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.

3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.

1. All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the

duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.

2. Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or

other removal debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of5 through regular trash pick-up procedures. During clean up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate work area.

3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly

before being used again. SYMBOLS

• The label on your tool may include the following symbols. The symbols and their definitions are as follows: V ..................volts A ...................amperes Hz ................hertz W ..................watts min ..............minutes ................alternating current ............direct current

When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. The table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. INTENDED USE Detail Sanding Sanding in extremely tight areas otherwise difficult to reach and require hand sanding. Select a high oscillating frequency. Sand with continuous motion and light pressure. Applying excessive pressure does not increase material removal; but will prematurely wear sanding sheets. Flush Cutting Remove excess wood from door jamb, window sill and/or toe kick. Removing excess copper or PVC pipe. Removal Work Carpets & backing, old tile adhesives, caulking on masonry, wood and other surfaces. Removal of Excess Materials Tile grout, plaster, mortar splatters, concrete on tiles, sills. Preparation of Surfaces New floors and tiles. ASSEMBLY

WARNING: Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any

assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

WARNING: Risk of lacerations or burns. Do not touch work piece or blade

immediately after operating the tool. They can become very hot. Handle carefully. Always allow accessories and work piece to cool before handling.

The PCE605 features an exclusive Tool Free System for faster accessory changes without the need for wrenches or hex keys like other oscillating tool systems.

• Grasp the tool and squeeze the Tool-Free System’s accessory clamping lever as shown in figure 2.

• Clean any residual debris from the tool shaft and the accessory holder.

• Slide the accessory between the shaft and the accessory holder making sure the accessory engages all eight pins on the holder and is flush with the shaft (figure 3).

• Release the accessory clamp lever.

• Some accessories, such as scrapers and blades can be mounted at an angle if required as shown in figure 4. INSTALLING/REMOVING DEPTh/CUT BLOCk The depth/cut guide allows you to precisely cut material at a specified depth and more accurately track a marked cut line.

• Attach the depth/cut block by inserting the tabs on the guide into the slots on the main body of the PCE605 as shown in figure 5.

• Secure the block to the main body with the supplied screw and tighten with the supplied hex wrench as shown in figure 6. INSTALLING/REMOVING SANDING ShEETS A diamond shaped platen uses a hook and loop adhesion system to attach the sanding sheets. The platen allows you to use it on large flat surfaces and tight spots or corners.

• Attach the sanding platen as described under “Installing/Removing Accessories”.

• Align the edges on the sanding sheet, with the edge of the sanding platen and press the sanding sheet onto the platen as shown in figure 7.

• Firmly press the base with the sanding sheet attached against a flat surface and briefly switch the tool on. This provides for good adhesion between the platen and the sanding sheet and also helps to prevent premature wear.

• When the tip of the sanding sheet becomes worn, detach the sheet from the platen, rotate and reapply.

Because the PCE605 has a separate speed dial for setting the speed (10,000 - 22,000 OPM), the tool will start at the speed where the variable speed dial is set. Be sure switch is fully OFF before plugging in the power cord.

• To turn the tool ON, hold it as shown in and push the slide switch forward.

To turn the tool OFF, push the slide switch backward.

To operate the tool, select the speed setting you wish with the speed dial, shown in , and slide the ON/OFF switch forward. The speed setting can be adjusted either with the tool on or off. Because the PCE605 has a separate speed dial for setting the speed (10,000 - 22,000 OPM), the tool will start at the speed where the variable speed dial is set. Be sure switch is fully OFF before plugging in the power cord. The numbered positions,1 through 6 inscribed on the variable speed dial, do not indicate any precise speed but are good reference points. The higher the number, the higher the tool speed. The approximate speed at each setting is:

(Actual OPM’s on your tool may vary.) Be sure to select the proper speed for your oscillating tool operation. If in doubt about the proper speed for your operation, test the performance at low speed settings and gradually increase until a comfortable speed is found.

Failure to do so may result in electrical shock, fire, explosion, or property damage.

. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty.

Before cutting any type of material, be sure it is firmly anchored or clamped to prevent slipping. Let the tool work at its own pace. Do not overload, blade breakage may occur.

• Clearly mark the desired cutting area.

• Switch the tool on before applying pressure and slowly feed the blade into the work piece at the marked location as shown

Ensure the blade is not in contact with cutting surface before starting saw.

• Advance the blade along the cutting line until cut is completed. Don’t force the tool; let the blade cut at its own speed.

• Switch the tool off.

Always use the appropriate type of saw blade for the work piece material and type of cut. Cut only with sharp blades; they cut cleaner, faster and put less strain on the motor while cutting.

This feature allows you to precisely cut material at a specified depth.

To use the depth guide, insert the guide as shown in into the front slot on the guide block.

• Adjust the length of the guide by pulling out or pushing inward to achieve the desired cut depth as shown

• Secure the guide in place by turning the depth/cut adjustment knob clockwise. To release the guide turn the depth/cut adjustment knob counterclockwise.

This feature allows you to more accurately track a marked cut line.

To use the cut guide, insert the guide as shown in into the slots on the left and right sides of the guide block.

• Adjust the length of the guide by pulling out or pushing inward to achieve the desired length as shown

• Secure the guide in place by turning the depth/cut adjustment knob clockwise. To release the guide turn the depth/cut adjustment knob counterclockwise.

When working on metal surfaces, do not use a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.

Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in long sweeping strokes across the surface, letting it do the work. Light pressure is all that is required for sanding. Excessive pressure will slow the tool and produce inferior results. Check your work often, product is capable of removing material rapidly. Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sanding sheet regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency. Always ensure the work piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.

• Always ensure the work piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the cutting or sanding finish.

• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper attached to sanding platen.

• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the finishing surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.

• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency.

• Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage the sanding pad.

• If the tool overheats, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always keep the blade sharp.
