260W Oscillating Multi-Tool
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
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
WARNING:
Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power
point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as that
specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater than
that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, and damage to the
tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Multi-Tool Safety
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.
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.
• 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
• 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
• 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.
• 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
• 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 designed and approved by the manufacturer of your power tool
• 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
• 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
• Always ensure all accessories or blades are securely attached to the tool before
use and the securing tool is removed prior to use
• DO NOT attempt to free a jammed blade or accessory until the power tool has
been disconnected from power
• 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
• Any freely movable workpieces should be secured with a clamp or vice before
starting work
• 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
• 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
• If batteries are to be charged outdoors, ensure that the power supply and
charger are protected against weather/moisture
