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.
ONLY use an adapter for using different accessories or blades if the adapter is specifically
f)
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
GB
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.
s)
The power tool will draw in dust through the vents on its body. Excessive accumulation of powdered
metal may cause an electrical hazard and destroy the tool. ALWAYS ensure the environment dust level is
safe for the tool and ensure the vents are not blocked.
For mains-operated power tools, ensure the cable of the power tool is ALWAYS kept behind the
t)
tool and never close to where the accessory or blade is operating.
u) DO NOT reach under the workpiece, rest the workpiece on your body, or hold the workpiece while
working on it, as contact with the blade or accessory protruding from the workpiece can result in
serious injury.
v)
Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating power tools that produce large amount of
vibration, especially during long-term use.
w) For power tools with a rotating mechanism and accessories ensure the operator is not wearing
clothes or gloves with frayed threads, cords etc. that could be entangled in the rotating
mechanism dragging the operator's hand into the rotating accessory causing injury. ALWAYS wear
tight fitting work clothes, safety shoes. Remove jewellery and secure long hair. NEVER wear fabric-based
gloves that can produce strands of material when operating this type of power tool.
x)
DO NOT allow sanding sheets to wear away on the sanding pad. This will damage the surface of the
pad requiring replacement and may cause parts of the sanding sheet to fly off the pad, causing operator
injury.
y)
DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet.
z)
Wire brush bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. DO NOT overstress the
wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and
skin.
Note: The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this
manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable for
any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any
modifications made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.

Fitting the dust extractor
Note: This Keyless Oscillating Multi-Tool is designed to be connected to a household vacuum cleaner hose or
workshop dust extraction system. This is the preferred and most effective method of dust extraction.
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure that the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before
attaching or removing any accessories.
WARNING: ALWAYS connect the Keyless Oscillating Multi-Tool to a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction system if the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles from old paint,
varnish, surface coatings etc. ALWAYS dispose of harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
WARNING: Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic dusts when sanding lead-based painted
surfaces, woods and metals, particularly if you are unsure about the exact substances involved. All persons
entering the work area must wear a mask specially designed for protection against the toxic dust and fumes
