RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld tools
may contribute to a condition called Raynaud's Syndrome
in certain individuals. Symptoms may include tingling,
numbness and blanching of the fi ngers, usually apparent
upon exposure to cold. Hereditary factors, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking, and work practices
are all thought to contribute to the development of these
symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■ Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the product, wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud's Syndrome.
■ After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
■ Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition,
immediately discontinue use and see your doctor about
these symptoms.
WARNING
Injuries may be caused, or aggravated, by prolonged
use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.

OPERATION
The product is supplied with an extra adapter for use with
other brands of cutting, scraping, and sanding accessories.
Do not use the adapter with the latest generation of RYOBI
accessories supplied with your tool. For example, use
the adapter with the letters "R&F" facing outwards if you
wish to use earlier generation RYOBI, RIDGID or AEG
accessories. The adapter may be turned over for use with
other brands of accessories.
■ Secure workpieces that can move with a clamp to
prevent movement during sanding or cutting operations.
Do not hold the workpiece by hand. An inadvertent
slip while operating the product may cause serious
personal injury.
■ When making a plunge cut into soft materials like wood
and plasterboard using the cutting accessory, gradually
bring the vibrating blade to the workpiece. Do not push
the vibrating blade hard into the material to be cut. Let
the product do the work and concentrate on keeping the
product and the cutting accessory stable in the position
you wish to make the cut.
■ Use the depth/ height gauge to help set your depth of
cut or prevent cutting too deeply into the material.
■ Take extra care when cutting non-ferrous metals. The
vibrating cutting accessory may skip around before
beginning the cut. If necessary, drill some holes along
the line to be cut before you start cutting.
■ If the cutting accessories become jammed in the
workpiece, switch off the product and disconnect from
the power supply. If the cutting accessory cannot
be removed easily, allow the cutting accessories to
adequately cool before releasing the cutting accessory
from the product. Wear gloves and use hand tools, such
as pliers or wrench, to remove the cutting accessory
from the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The product should never be connected to a power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,
