MULTI TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 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.
Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding, especially sanding overhead.
A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead paint, some woods, and metal to avoid breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.
The dust produced when using the product may be harmful to the health of the operator and bystanders. Operator and bystanders shall not touch and not inhale the dust. Wear a suitable dust protection mask.
Do not machine any materials that present a danger to health, such as asbestos.
Clamp the workpiece with a clamping device. Unclamped workpieces can cause severe injury and damage.
Switch the product off immediately if the accessory stalls. Do not switch the product on again while the accessory is stalled, as doing so could trigger a sudden recoil with a high reactive force. Determine why the accessory stalled and rectify this, paying heed to the safety instructions.
Ambient temperature range for tool during operation is between 0°C and 40°C.
Ambient temperature range for tool storage is between 0°C and 40°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is between 10°C and 38°C.

ADDITIONAL BATTERY SAFETY WARNINGS

To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack, or charger in fluid or allow fluid to flow inside them.

MAINTENANCE

The product should never be connected to a power supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the product is not in use. Disconnecting the product from the power supply will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.
When servicing, use only original manufacturer’s replacement parts, accessories and attachments. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
For greater safety and reliability, all repairs should be performed by an authorised service centre.

WARNING
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardised test and may be used to compare one tool with another. They may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

The declared vibration and noise emission values represent the main applications of the tool. However, if the tool is used for different applications, used with different accessories, or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. These conditions may significantly increase the exposure levels over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should take into account the times when the tool is turned off or when it is running idle. These conditions may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and noise, such as maintaining the tool and the accessories, keeping the hands warm (in case of vibration), and organising work patterns.
