SAFETY WARNINGS

General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Cordless multi tool safety warnings

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.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-faces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wir-ing. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
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.
Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any nails and remove them before operation.
Hold the tool firmly.
Make sure the application tool is not contact-ing the workpiece before the switch is turned on.

Do not touch the application tool or the work-piece immediately after operation; they may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.
Do not operate the tool at no-load unnecessarily.
Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for the material and application you are work-ing with.
ome material contains chemicals which may be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety data.
This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not use water on the workpiece surface.
Ventilate your work area adequately when you perform sanding operations.
Use of this tool to sand some products, paints and wood could expose user to dust contain-ing hazardous substances. Use appropriate respiratory protection.
Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage on the pad before use. Cracks or breakage may cause a personal injury.
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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-priate, wear hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-tection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations . The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Never lay the power tool down until the acces-sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
