The vibration and/or noise emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in accordance with
a standardised test given in EN62841 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment ofexposure.
WARNING: The declared vibration and/or noise emission
level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the
tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or
poorly maintained, the vibration and/or noise emission may differ.
This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total
workingperiod.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and/or
noise should also take into account the times when the tool is
switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job.
This 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/or noise such as: maintain the tool
and the accessories, keep the hands warm (relevant for vibration),
organisation of workpatterns.

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.
1) Work Area Safety
a ) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas
inviteaccidents.
b ) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust orfumes.
c ) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.
2) Electrical Safety
a ) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electricshock.
b ) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed orgrounded.
c ) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electricshock.
d ) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electricshock.
e ) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension
cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor

Additional Safety Rules for Oscillating Multi-Tool
WARNING: Take special care when sanding some woods (e.g.
beech, oak) and metal which may produce toxic dust. Wear a dust
mask specifically designed for protection against toxic dust and
fumes and ensure that persons within or entering the work area
are alsoprotected.
WARNING: Use this tool in a well-ventilated area when
sanding ferrous metals. Do not operate the tool near flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Sparks or hot particles from sanding or
arcing motor brushes may ignite combustiblematerials.
3) Personal Safety
a ) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool
while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personalinjury.
b ) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personalinjuries.
c ) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invitesaccidents.
d ) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personalinjury.
e ) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpectedsituations.
f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in movingparts.
g ) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-relatedhazards.
h ) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of asecond.
4) Power Tool Use and Care
a ) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it wasdesigned.
b ) 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.
c ) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
d ) 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.
e ) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier tocontrol.
g ) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, 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.
h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpectedsituations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery
pack may create a risk of fire when used with another batterypack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury andfire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects, like 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.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from
the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs,
flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation
orburns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behaviour resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive
temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may
causeexplosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery
and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or
authorized service providers.

Helpful Hints
• Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the cutting or sandingfinish.
• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper attached
to sandingplaten.
• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit
for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the finishing surfaces. If
necessary, first make a test run on scrapmaterial.
• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause
motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly will maintain
optimum workingefficiency.
• Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage the
sandingpad.
• If the tool overheats, especially when used at low speed, set
the speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2–3 minutes
to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
Always keep the bladesharp.
