Safety, performance, and dependability have been given top priority in the design of your multi tool.

INTENDED USE

The multi tool is intended to be used only by adults who have read and understood the instructions and warnings in this manual and can be considered responsible for their actions.
The multi tool is intended to be used:

• for sanding and finishing metal, wood, plastics, or similar materials using the sanding pad with the shaped abrasive sheets provided
• for scraping and plunge-cutting into non-ferrous metal, wood, plastics, plasterboard, etc. using the provided metallic cutting blades
• for cutting holes in walls to accommodate switches or power sockets
• for removing grouting from between ceramic tiles

The multi tool is intended to be operated indoors in dry, well illuminated, and adequately ventilated conditions.

The multi tool is not intended to be used on wet materials or surfaces.

Do not use the product in any way other than those stated for intended use.
  WARNING!  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, fi re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

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.
• 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. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach-containing products, etc., can cause a short circuit.
• Ambient temperature range for battery during use is between 0°C and 40°C.
• Ambient temperature range for battery storage is between 0°C and 20°C.

TRANSPORTING LITHIUM BATTERIES
Transport the battery in accordance with local and national provisions and regulations.

Follow all special requirements on packaging and labelling when transporting batteries by a third party. Ensure that no batteries can come in contact with other batteries or conductive materials while in transport by protecting exposed connectors with insulating, non-conductive caps or tape. Do not transport batteries that are cracked or leaking. Check with the forwarding company for further advice.

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 authorized service center.

Do not dispose of waste batteries, waste electrical and electronic equipment as unsorted municipal waste. Waste batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment must be collected separately. Waste batteries, waste accumulators, and light sources have to be removed from the equipment. Check with your local authority or retailer for recycling advice and collection point.
According to local regulations, retailers may have an obligation to take back waste batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment free of charge. Your contribution to the reuse and recycling of waste batteries and waste electrical and electronic equipment helps to reduce the demand of raw materials. Waste batteries, in particular containing lithium, and waste electrical and electronic equipment contain valuable and recyclable materials, which can adversely impact the environment and the human health if not disposed of in an environmentally compatible manner. Delete personal data from waste equipment, if any.

WARNING
The declared vibration total values and the declared noise emission values given in this instruction manual have been measured in accordance with a standardized 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.
