7. Disconnect the Battery Charger from the power supply and store in a clean, dry
environment out of the reach of children
• Normal battery charging time is approximately 1 hour for a recently fully discharged battery
at normal temperature. Charging times will vary outside these conditions
• The Battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging but a fully charged
Battery must not be charged
• You can interrupt charging at any point to use the Battery. Under normal conditions the
Battery Charger charges at a higher rate but reduces the charging rate as the Battery
becomes fully charged. An 80% charge is achieved after 1/2hr of charging
3.0Ah High Capacity Battery (optional accessory)
• A high capacity battery is available that provides double the capacity. It also allows the tool
to stand vertically which may be advantageous for some uses. Please note the full charging
time will be approximately 2 hours for the high capacity battery

Note: If the lights on the Battery Charger fail to illuminate according to the chart above or
indicate a fault condition:
• Check the Battery is firmly seated in the Battery Charger
• Check all connections and that mains power is switched on
Initial charge
• The initial charge will vary depending on the existing charge in the Battery. Allow the
Battery to reach full charge as indicated on the Battery Charger
• After discharging, recharge the Battery completely, as indicated by the LED on the Battery
Charger, for the next 4 to 5 uses. This will ensure that the Battery is performing to its
highest capacity
• Subsequent full charges will take approximately 1 hour. However, the Battery can be
recharged when the Battery is only partially discharged
Re-charging the battery
• After use, a li-ion battery must be allowed to cool down before charging
• If a hot battery is inserted into the charger both LEDs will illuminate. The charger will begin
to charge when the battery has cooled sufficiently (this may take several minutes)
Installing the battery
• The Battery should fit easily into the Battery Charger. If the Battery is difficult to fit, check
the condition of the Battery and contacts
Battery - length of service
• The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of workload. The
Battery Charger and Battery for this tool have been designed to provide a long trouble-free
working life. The Battery Charger intelligently monitors the condition of the Battery and
selects the ideal charging rate for the condition of the Battery. It protects the Battery from
over-charging or charging at too high a rate. However, like all batteries, performance will
be reduced over time
To maximise battery life:
• Store and charge the Battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room
temperature will reduce battery life
• Never store li-ion batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they
are discharged. For storing long term, store fully charged
• All batteries gradually lose their charge, even li-ion batteries, but the discharge rate is very
low. If the tool is stored for long periods of time without use, recharge the battery every
three to four months and disconnect the battery from the power tool before it is stored. This
practice will prevent the li-ion battery being damaged when stored

Fitting a blade or scraper
WARNING: Always wear suitable gloves when handling sharp blades>
1. Remove the Battery if fitted
2. Use the supplied Blade Hex Key (15) to loosen and remove the Blade Bolt (14) and Blade
Washer (13), turning the Blade Bolt anti-clockwise as you face the bolt head as shown in

5. Re-fit the Blade Bolt and Blade Washer as shown in image B carefully ensuring the blade
6. Check that the blade or scraper is securely fitted and the bolt is tight before refitting the
Note: Blades or scrapers that are cranked or bent must be mounted on the tool so that the end
of the blade is away from the tool as shown in image B

Operation
Built-In Safety Features
IMPORTANT: The oscillating multi-tool has 3 important safety features which will prevent the
tool from operating under certain circumstances.
1. Cell Protection: If the battery charge is very low the tool will stop operating to prevent the
2. Over Heat Protection: If the battery or tool temperature is too high the tool will switch off to
3. Over Current Protection: If excessive current is being drawn from the battery then the tool
It is recommended to swap batteries before the current battery is fully discharged to prevent
the tool from powering down in use. Allow the tool to cool between uses to prevent it getting
too hot and do not apply force when operating the tool but let the blade or sanding base do the
work. This should reduce the possibility of the tool powering down as you operate it.
Note: The tool may take up to 30 minutes to reset before it operates again if over-heat
protection has operated and up to a minute if over current protection has operated.
Switching on and off
Note: Gloves should be worn when operating this tool. Anti-vibration gloves are recommended
to protect users from the vibration level of the oscillating mechanism.
1. Hold the tool firmly as shown in Fig. E with the thumb over the On/Off Switch (1) as shown
2. Slide the On/Off Switch forward to switch on the tool
3. Adjust the speed using the Variable Speed Control (3). It is a fully variable control but six
4. Operate the tool as required
WARNING: Do not operate the tool at maximum speed for extended periods.
Notes:
• Allow the tool to reach the required speed before making contact with the workpiece
• Always remove the tool from the workpiece when changing speed
• After use slide the On/Off Switch back to turn off the tool
• It is good practice to set the Variable Speed Control to the minimum level after use
• A high speed setting is required for most cutting and sanding operations
• A low speed setting may be required for polishing and careful detail sanding with a high

Vents and cause the tool to shut down when the over-temperature protection operates. Swarf,
created when cutting metal, can also cause permanent damage if it enters the tool. Do not
