OPERATION

NOTICE: Attach the Menards application 
accessories used for Utila-tool 241-0853 
at the desired orientation for the task at 
hand. The shaft is configured so that the 
application tool can be attached at 30° 
intervals around the shaft, from 0° to 330°.

                                 Do not attach the 
1-3/8” Precision End-Cut Blade, 1-1/4” 
End-Cut Blade, 2” 3-Sided Bi-Metal Blade, 
1-1/4” 3-Sided Bi-Metal Blade,  3/8” End-
Cut Blade, and Curved Plunge Blade, the 
Scraper Blades or Carbide Grit Semicircle 
Blade facing backwards (Fig. 4), as  
operation in this position may cause 
serious injury.

                                 Use sharp, undamaged 
saw blades only. Deformed, blunt saw 
blades or saw blades that are otherwise 
damaged can break.

                                 For all accessories, 
work with the accessory away from the 
body. Never position hand near or directly 
in front of working area. Always hold the 
tool with both hands and wear protective 
gloves.

    WARNING:                     

1.  Disconnect the tool from the power 

source.

2.  Follow the directions for attaching the 

application tool to attach the sanding  
pad to the Utila-Tool.

3.  Align the sandpaper with the sanding  

pad and use your hand to press it 

firmly onto the sanding pad.

4.  Press the sandpaper firmly against a 

smooth surface for a short period, then 
turn on the tool. The burr will form a  
non-slip bond with the outer edge of 
the sandpaper felt. This will avoid 

premature wear.

5.  If one point has become worn, pull off 

the sandpaper, turn it 120° and place  
it on the sanding pad again.

CUTTING

Saw blades are ideal for making precise 
cuts in tight areas, close to edges or flush 
to a surface. Select a medium to high 
speed for making the initial plunge; start 
off at medium speed for increased control. 
After making your initial cut, you can 

increase speed for faster cutting ability.

Plunge cutting

The 1-3/8” Precision End-Cut Blade, 1-1/4” 
End-Cut Blade, 2” 3-Sided Bi-Metal Blade, 
1-1/4”  3-Sided Bi-Metal Blade,  and 3/8” 
End-Cut Blade, are intended to make 

precise cuts to allow for installation of 

flooring or wall material. While keeping 
the teeth of the blade in the work surface,  
move the back of the tool in a slow 

sideways motion. This motion will help 
expedite the cut. When plunge cutting, 
it is important not to force the tool. If 

you experience a strong vibration in your 
hand during the plunge cut, this 
indicates that you are applying too much 
pressure. Back the tool out and let the 

speed of the tool do the work.
