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

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
Power Tool Use & 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
WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool
is ALWAYS supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of
30mA or less.
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
Multi-Tool Safety
General safety advice for multi-purpose hand held cordless and corded tools
including 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 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.
10.8V Oscillating Multi-Tool
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.
a) 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.
b) 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.
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 accessory 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 compatible in size
and speed. DO NOT try to cut material thicker than the capacity stated in the
specification.
f) 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.
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 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.
i) ALWAYS ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached to the tool before
use and the securing tool is removed prior to use.
j) DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the power tool has
been disconnected from power.
k) 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.
l) Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a clamp or vice before
starting work.
m) ALWAYS ensure that the lighting is adequate in the work area. Never remove your
safety goggles or glasses to improve your view instead increase the level of lighting or
move the lighting so it specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
n) DO NOT operate the power tool near flammable materials. Be especially careful
when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood
dust fires.
o) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger
are protected against moisture at all times.
p) NEVER start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in contact with the
workpiece, and always allow the power tool to reach its full speed before making
contact with the workpiece. Use the variable speed control of the tool (if fitted) to start
the tool at the correct speed for the accessory or blade fitted.
q) DO NOT exert additional pressure on the body of the tool: allow the blade or
accessory to do the work. By not exerting additional pressure you maintain a safer
stronger grip on the power tool when it breaks through the material, as well as reducing
wear on the power tool which will extend the power tool's service life. Additional
pressure may also bend or twist the accessory or blade which may cause it to break
and cause injury. If the power tool allows for being held with one or two hands hold with
two hands whenever possible. ALWAYS exercise caution when handling this power tool.
r) Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions create heat. This may affect the workpiece
and power tool. ALWAYS monitor the heat level and in the event of excessive heat
switch off the power tool and allow to cool before restarting work. Some power tools
depending on design may be more quickly and effectively cooled by running at high
speed without load.
