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
signicantly 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 signicantly 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.

RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld products may
contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s Syndrome in certain
individuals. Symptoms may include tingling, numbness and
blanching of the ngers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness, diet, smoking
and work practices are all thought to contribute to the development
of these symptoms. There are measures that can be taken by the
operator to possibly reduce the effects of vibration:
■Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating the unit
wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists warm. It is reported
that cold weather is a major factor contributing to Raynaud’s
Syndrome.
■After each period of operation, exercise to increase blood
circulation.
■Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of exposure per
day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this condition, immediately
discontinue use and see your doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING! Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged
use of a product. When using any product for prolonged periods,
ensure you take regular breaks.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
This electronic 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 can be used for
■cutting wood, drywall, plastic;
■detailed sanding;
■using accessories identified as compatible with this multi-tool.
Do not use the product for any other purpose not described above.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded nish.
Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are
best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as int and garnet
are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and ner grit
will produce the best nish in all sanding operations. The condition
of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the
job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until
the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit and ner grit used for nishing of
the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is
uniform.
BATTERIES
Battery packs which have not been used for some time should be
recharged before use.
Temperatures in excess of 50°C (122°F) reduce the performance of
the battery pack. Avoid extended exposure to heat or sunshine (risk
of overheating).
The contacts of chargers and battery packs must be kept clean.
For an optimum life-time, the battery packs have to be fully charged,
after used.
To obtain the longest possible battery life remove the battery pack
from the charger once it is fully charged.
For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
• Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 27°C
and away from moisture.
• Store the battery packs in a 30% - 50% charged condition.
• Every six months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
