General Safety

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play
with the appliance.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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 energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) 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.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
5) Battery tools use and care
a) Recharge only with charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause a burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contact eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) Service
a) 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.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power point receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of
the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in
serious injury to the user, and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a
power source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Oscillating Multi-Tool Safety
WARNING: Contact with electric or gas lines can lead to fire, electric shock and
explosions. Penetrating a water line can result in damage to property and electric shock.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area. Always be
extremely careful when making blind and pocket cuts where the exit point of the blade or
accessory at the other side of the material cannot be seen.
WARNING: Asbestos may be in materials and textured coatings in older properties and
should be treated with extreme caution. If you suspect or discover asbestos consult your local
health and safety authority immediately for advice on its removal. It may require the services of
a specialist asbestos removal company.
WARNING: If a cutting accessory makes contact with a 'live' wire, the exposed metal
parts of the power tool may become 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock. Hold
the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces at all times during use.
WARNING:DO NOT work with damp or wet materials or accessories that require liquid
coolants. Liquids entering the body of the tool is an electrical hazard as well as likely to
destroy the tool.
WARNING: The dust produced from working with some materials can be toxic. Beech,
oak, mahogany and teak natural woods, man-made composite woods and some surface
treatments including paint with lead are toxic. Lead based paint is common in buildings pre
1960. Always wear suitable respiratory protection for example a respirator face mask. Ideally
also use a dust extraction system or regularly vacuum the work area to prevent the build-up of
dust and do a final vacuum after the work is completed. Most dust is a fire hazard. Overhead
work surfaces have an increased safety risk for dust.
• Wear protective, cut-proof gloves when changing blades and accessories. Some blades
and accessories can be very sharp. Scraper blades sharpen as they are used. Blades and
accessories shortly after use can be very hot, allow to cool
• Keep your workplace clean. Dusts created from different materials including woods and
metals can be highly flammable. Dust from light alloys including magnesium can burn or
explode easily
• DO NOT treat the work surface with fluids containing solvents. If such fluids become warm
from scraping, toxic vapours may be produced, or surfaces may catch fire
• DO NOT fit any blade or accessory with a maximum speed lower than the no load speed
of the power tool
• Only change accessories and blades or perform maintenance with the tool disconnected
from its power supply, either mains connection or battery. If the tool features a captive
battery in a charged state take extra care not to switch it on accidentally when changing
accessories or blades
• Always use accessories or blades that are approved by the manufacturer or meet the
specification of your power tool, this includes being compatible in size and speed. DO NOT
try to cut material thicker than the capacity stated in the specification
• Only use an adapter for using different accessories or blades if the adapter is specifically
designed and approved by the manufacturer of your power tool
• DO NOT modify accessories or blades so they work with power tools they were not intended
to work with or for uses that they were never designed for
• DO NOT use accessories or blades that are damaged, bent, chipped, cracked, heavily
corroded or excessively worn. Such accessories can break apart in use causing injury to the
operator. Always inspect accessories or blades before use and discard immediately if not in
good condition. Never use blades that are worn to a dull edge. Always use sharp blades
• Always ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached to the tool before use and the
securing tool is removed prior to use
• DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the power tool has been
disconnected from power
• Inspect the workpiece before use to make sure it is in the correct condition for the fitted
accessory or blade. Remove all nails, staples and other embedded objects prior to starting
work
