GENERAL SAFETY RULES
_, WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury. The term "power tool" in all of warnings listed below refers to
corded power tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents
• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a aower tool.
Distractions may cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adaptor plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edge, or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
• Use the battery only with the charger listed:

PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment, such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection, when
used for appropriate conditions, will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position
before plugging the tool into an electrical outlet. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the power
switch "ON" invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, make sure that these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
Use clamps or another practical way to support and secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot
safely control the power tool.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses may have
impact-resistant lenses, but they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of eye injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious person injury.
61199 ManuaLRevised_09 0310 Page 6

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for
which it was designated.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories, blades, etc. in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
Hold power tools by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing any
operation in which the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the
tool "live" and can shock the operator.

with another battery pack.
Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects,
such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,
they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when
not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.
Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce
the risk of explosion and possible injury.
Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or
charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery
is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.
A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or
damaged battery immediately.

LOW-BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR
If the LED worklight begins to rapidly and continuously flash when the switch on
the tool is depressed, the battery-pack power has run out, and the battery pack
should be recharged.
Unlike other battery pack types, Lithium-Ion battery packs deliver fade-free
power for their entire run time. The tool will not experience a slow, gradual loss
of power as you work. To signal that the battery pack is at the end of its run time
and needs to be charged, the power to the tool will drop quickly.
NOTE: The LED may also flash due to an overload or high temperature (see
61199 ManuaLRevised_09 0310 Page 14

BATTERY PROTECTION).
BATTERY PROTECTION
The battery circuitry protects the battery pack from extreme temperature, over
discharge, and over-charge. To protect the battery from damage and prolong
its life, the battery pack circuitry will turn off the battery pack if it becomes
overloaded or if the temperature becomes too high during use. This may happen
in situations involving extremely high torque, binding, and stalling. This intelligent
system will shut down your battery pack if its operating temperature exceeds
176°F (80°C) and will begin normal operation when it returns to 32°F (0°C) -
122°F (50°C).
The LED worklight light will begin flash slowly if the battery circuitry detects a
momentary overload.
NOTE: The battery can automatically reset. If the LED continues to flash rapidly,
it is indicating that the charge is substantially diminished. Place the battery into
the charger for charging. (See BATTERY CAPACITY INDICATOR, above.)
NOTE: A significantly reduced run time after fully charging the battery pack indi-
cates that the battery is near the end of its usable life and must be replaced.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
This Lithium-Ion battery pack will provide optimal performance in temperatures
between 32°F (0°C) and 104°F (40°C). When the battery pack is very cold, it may
"pulse" for the first minute of use to warm itself. Put the battery pack on a tool
and use the tool in a light application. After about a minute, the battery pack will
have warmed itself and will operate normally.
WHEN TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
It is not necessary to run down
the battery pack charge before
recharging. The Lithium-Ion
battery can be charged at any
time and will not develop a
"memory" when charged after
only a partial discharge.
Remove the battery pack from
the tool when convenient for
you and your job. "Top off" the
battery pack charge by charging
it for a time before starting a big
job or long period of use.
Fig. 2
Due to Lithium-Ion fade-free
properties, the only time it is necessary to charge the Lithium- Ion battery pack
is when the pack has reached the end of its charge. To signal the end of charge,
power to the tool will drop quickly. Charge the battery pack as needed.
61199 ManuaLRevised_09 0310 Page 15

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY PACK
NOTE: This Lithium-ion battery pack is shipped partially charged. Before using it
the first time, fully charge the battery pack.
A fully discharged battery pack will charge in about 30 minutes in an
environment between 32 ° F (0° C) and 104 ° F (40° C).
1. Charge the Lithium-Ion battery pack with the correct charger.
2. Connect the charger to a power supply.
3. Align the raised ribs of the battery pack with the slot in the charger.
4. Insert the battery pack into the charger (Fig. 2).
5. The charger will communicate with the battery pack to evaluate the
condition of the battery pack.
6. The green lights will flash while the battery pack is charging. After charging
is complete, the green LED on the charger will be on. The flickering red light
indicates a defective battery or a bad connection between the battery and
the charger.
7. The battery pack will fully charge if left on the charger, but it will
not overcharge.
NOTE: For your convenience, the charger can operate with most generators and
inverters rated at 300 watts or higher.

ATTACHING THE APPLICATION TOOL (FIG. 8, 9, 10, 11)
A_, WARNING: Failure to remove the battery pack from the tool when
assembling parts, making adjustments, or changing accessories could result in
accidental starting causing possibly serious injury.
_, CAUTION: For all work or when changing application tools, always wear
protective gloves. The sharp edges of the application tools will cause personal
injury. Application tools can be very hot while working.
_, WARNING: Check that the application tools are correctly attached. Incorrect
or insecurely fastened application tools can come loose during operation and
cause a hazard.
_, WARNING: Do not attach the circular saw blade or the straight edge cutting
blade facing backwards (Fig. 8), as operation in this position may cause
serious injury.
1. Remove the battery pack from the Multi-Tool.
2. Loosen the flange bolt with the hex key provided. (Fig. 9)
3. Ensure that the inner threads and the drive shaft are clean.
4. Align the grooves on the application tool with the four raised ribs on the
drive shaft; put the application tool onto the drive shaft. (Fig.10)
5. With your gloved hand holding the blade, put on and tighten the flange bolt
using the hex key.
NOTE: Attach the application tool at the desired orientation for the task at hand.
The shaft is configured so that the application tool can be attached every 30°
around the shaft, from 0°to 330 ° (Fig. 11).

Follow the directions for
Attaching the Application
Tool to attach the sanding
plate to the Multi-Tool.
Align the sandpaper with
the sanding plate and use
your hand to press it firmly
on the sanding plate.
Press the sandpaper firmly
against a smooth surface
for a short period, then
switch on the tool. The burr
will form a non-slip bond
with the outer edge of the
sandpaper felt. This will
avoid premature wear.
