Power tool use and care
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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 pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
20. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren 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.
21. 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.
22. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
23. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-
ing 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.
Battery tool use and care
24. Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
25. Use power tools only with specifically desig-
nated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
26. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
27. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
Service
28. 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.
29. Follow instruction for lubricating and chang-
ing accessories.
30. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
CORDLESS MULTI TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. This power tool is intended to function for
sawing, cutting, grinding and sanding. Read all
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
4. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Make sure the application tool is not contacting
the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
Keep hands away from moving parts.
8.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.
11. Do not touch the application tool or the work-
piece immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
12. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
13. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
15. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
16. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
17. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints
and wood could expose user to dust contain-
ing hazardous substances. Use appropriate

on the pad before use. Cracks or breakage
may cause a personal injury.
19. Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
