repair your power tool. This will ensure
proper functioning of the power tool.
3. Multi-Tool Safety
General safety advice for multi-purpose
hand-held cordless and corded tools includ-
ing both rotating and oscillating types.
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 deter-
mine 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 imme-
diately 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 work-
ing 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. Over-
head work surfaces have an increased
safety risk for dust.

a. Wear protective, cut-proof gloves
when changing blades and accesso-
ries. Some blades and accessories can
be very sharp. Scraper blades sharpen
as they are used. Blades and accesso-
ries shortly after use can be very hot,
allow to cool.
b. Keep your workplace clean. Dusts
created from different materials includ-
ing woods and metals can be highly
flammable. Dust from light alloys
including magnesium can burn or
explode easily.
c. 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.
WARNING: NEVER fit any blade or acces-
sory with a maximum speed lower than the
no load speed of the power tool.
d. 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.
e. ALWAYS use accessories or blades
that are approved by the manufacturer
or meet the specification of your
power tool, this includes being com-
patible in size and speed. DO NOT try
to cut material thicker than the capacity
stated.
f.
ONLY use an adapter for using differ-
ent accessories or blades if the
adapter is specifically designed and
approved by the manufacturer of your
power tool.
g. 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.
h. DO NOT use accessories or blades
that are damaged, bent, chipped,
cracked, heavily corroded or exces-
sively worn. Such accessories can
