SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY IN THE WORK AREA

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when working with a power tool. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY’

• The mains plug on the power tool must match the mains socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use adapters with earthed power tools. Intact plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the power tool, or to pull out the plug from the mains. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When you use a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord intended for outdoor use. Using cords intended for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If you have to use a power tool in damp conditions, use a mains connection protected by a residual current device RCD. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. The correct use of safety equipment such as a dust filter mask, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear protection, reduces the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting to the mains and/or the battery, or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains supply when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove all Allen keys/spanners etc. before switching on the power tool. A spanner left in a rotating part of the power tool can result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such equipment can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.

USING AND LOOKING AFTER POWER TOOLS

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work.
  The correct power tool will work better and more safely when used with the load for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.

• Unplug the plug from the mains and/or remove the battery from the power tool before making any adjustments, replacing accessories or putting the tool away.
  These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power tool.

• Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions to use the tool.
  Power tools are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.

• Keep the power tool properly maintained.
  Check that moving parts are not misaligned, jammed or loose, and that there are no other factors that could affect the safe use of the tool. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Make sure that cutting tools are sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. Using the power tool for  anything other than its intended purpose can lead  to dangerous situations.

SERVICE
Make sure that the power tool is serviced by qualified technicians that only use identical spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FOR THE MULTI-TOOL

• Only use accessories recommended by the manufacturer. The use of other accessories can result in a risk of personal injury.

• Only use the tool for dry sanding. There is an increased risk of electric shock if water enters a power tool.

• Find out whether sanding the surface in question can product toxic dust and/or fumes. Dust/fumes from wood, metal and paint etc. can cause allergic reactions and/or can be harmful to health. Observe special care and avoid inhaling and skin contact with such materials. Materials that contain asbestos should only be handled by qualified personnel.

• Keep your hands away from the cutting area and blade. If you hold the tool with both hands, they cannot come into contact with blade.

• Do not put your hands under the workpiece. Contact with the blade could cause personal injury.

• Start the tool before applying the blade to the workpiece. If the blade jams it can slip or kick back from the workpiece when the tool starts.

• Never hold the workpiece in your hands or across your legs. Secure the workpiece on a stable surface. It is important to support the workpiece properly so that body contact is minimised, the blade does not jam, and you do not lose control.

• Make sure there are no nails, screws or other foreign objects in the workpieces.

• Do not use blunt or damaged blades.
  Blades with blunt or damaged teeth produce more friction, which can cause the blade to jam and increases the risk of kickback.

• Take extra care when plunge cutting in walls or other similar areas where you cannot see what lies behind. The protruding blade may strike objects that can cause kickback.

• The work area should be well ventilated.

• Wear safety glasses.

• Wear ear protection.

• Wear a dust filter mask if the work produces a lot of dust.

• Wear safety gloves.

• Wear a hair net if you have long hair.

• Do NOT wear loose-fitting clothes, jewellery, or watches etc. that can fasten in moving parts.

• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. Clean the ventilation openings regularly.
  The accumulation of metal dust can cause the metal parts of the tool to become live – risk of electric shock.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Hold the power tool by the insulated grips when working in areas where the tool may come into contact with concealed electrical cables or its own power cord.
  Contact with a live cable will cause the metal parts on the tool to also become live – risk of electric shock.

• Before starting work on walls, ceilings or floors, check that there are no concealed electrical cables or conduits. Use a live wire detector, or ask an electrician for help. Failure to observe these instructions could result in the risk of fire, explosion, electric shock, personal injury and/or material damage.

• Avoid accidental starting. Switch off the tool if the power supply is disconnected, e.g. as a result of a power cut or if the power cord is pulled out.

• Secure the workpiece. Secure the workpiece with clamps or a vice. Never hold the workpiece with your hand.

• Keep the work area clean. The mixing of dust from different materials is especially dangerous. Dust from light metals, e.g. aluminium, can ignite or explode.

• Do not use the tool if the power cord is damaged. Pull out the plug immediately if the cord is damaged when working.
  Do not pull the power cord to disconnect the plug from the mains socket. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• Avoid overheating the tool and workpiece

  • risk of material damage.

• Do not touch accessories during or immediately after use – risk of burn injury.

• Never clean hot tools with flammable agents – risk of fire and/or explosion.

• Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil and grease. Greasy handles make it difficult to hold the tool – risk of personal injury and/material damage.

• In addition to these instructions, you should always comply with local regulations and laws concerning health, safety and the environment.

• Do not remove or cover symbols and markings on the product. Replace any stickers that have become illegible or lost.

REMAINING RISKS
Even if appropriate safety regulations are adhered to and safety devices are used, it is not possible to eliminate all risks. The following risks remain:

• Risk of contact with non-covered parts of moving parts.
• Kickback from the workpiece, or part of the workpiece.

VIBRATION AND NOISE REDUCTION

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a longer period of time.

• To reduce the impact of noise and vibration emission, limit the time of operation, use low-vibration and low-noise operating modes as well as wear personal protective equipment.
• Take the following points into account to minimise the vibration and noise exposure risks:
  • Only use the product as intended by its design and these instructions.
  • Ensure that the product is in good condition and well maintained.
  • Use correct attachments for the product and ensure they in good condition.
  • Keep tight grip on the handles/gripping surface.
  • Maintain this product in accordance with these instructions and keep it well lubricated (where appropriate).

IMPORTANT:
Risk of personal injury as a result of vibration.
Vibrations from power tools can cause personal injury. Stop working immediately and seek medical attention if you experience numbness, itching, tingling or pain, or if your skin changes colour. Vibration levels can deviate from the declared value, depending on how the tool is used. The following factors can influence the level of vibrations:

• Incorrect/unsuitable use.

CUTTING AND SAWING
Be careful when using the saw blade. Check the work area and be fully prepared for nails, screws or other things that may result in you losing control of the multi-tool. Remember that the saw blade wears extremely hard when cutting wall tiles.

SHARPENING

• Only use sandpaper free from defects and replace frequently. This gives a better result and increases the service life of the multi-tool.
• Do not press too hard when sanding, work with an even and light pressure. The sanding effect does not increase with a higher contact pressure it only results in both the sandpaper and multi-tool wearing more quickly.
• Do not use sandpaper on wood that has previously been used on metal.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING!
Always remove the multi-tool plug before carrying out any maintenance.

CLEANING

• Always keep the motor’s ventilation openings free from debris and dust.
• Clean the multi-tool with a slightly damp cloth. Use a mild detergent, if necessary.
  Never use strong, corrosive or abrasive agents.
