POWER TOOL SAFETY
Read and understand all safety warnings and 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.
WARNING
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
2. 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.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of a ground fault
circuit interrupter (GFCI) reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. 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.
2. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3. 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
energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
4. 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.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6. 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.
7. 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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7. 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.
8. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the blade may
contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” shock the operator.
9. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support 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.
SERVICE
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.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
WARNING
1. Know your oscillating tool. Do not plug the tool into the power source
until you have read and understand this Instruction Manual. Learn the
tool’s applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential
hazards related to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
2. ALWAYS wear eye protection. Any power tool can throw foreign
objects into your eyes and cause permanent damage. ALWAYS wear
safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard
Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE
NOT safety glasses.
3. Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause
serious injury when they break.
4. Always keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. Avoid awkward
hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into
the path of the saw blade.
5. Secure workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
6. Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the
workpiece to be cut or sanded.
7. To avoid injury from accidental starting, always remove the plug from
the power source before installing or removing an accessory.
8. Never use dull blades in the tool. They will cut slower, leave rough cuts
and break easily due to added pressure and excessive heat. They will
also overload the motor and cause premature failure of the tool.
9. Never use damaged or bent blades. They will be brittle and break easily
possibly causing injury to the operator.
10.Never touch a saw blade immediately after using the tool. The blade will
be extremely hot and will burn your hand.
11.Only use accessories designed for use with this tool.

EXTENSION CORD SAFETY
WARNING
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area. Position the
cord so it will not get caught on the workpiece, tools or any other
obstructions while you are working with the power tool.
1. Make sure any extension cord used with this tool is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one of heavy enough
gauge to carry the current the tool will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
2. The table below shows the correct size to use according to cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge.
The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
3. Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good
condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it
repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Protect your
extension cord from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or
wet areas.
4. Use a separate electrical circuit for your power tools. This circuit
must not be less than 14 gauge wire and should be protected
with either a 15 A time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. Before
connecting the power tool to the power source, make sure the
switch is in the OFF position and the power source is the same as
indicated on the nameplate. Running at lower voltage will damage
the motor.

NOTE: The tool and blade should be at a 45° angle to the floor to allow the
corner of the blade to plunge cut into the flooring.
6. While holding the tool tightly, slowly plunge the corner of the blade into
the flooring until it cuts through the flooring. Once the plunge cut is
complete, set the tool to its highest speed and complete the cut to the
corner of the rectangle.
7. Turn the saw OFF, remove it from the cut and proceed to cut in the
opposite direction to complete the cut for the first side of the rectangle.
8. Repeat steps #4, #5 & #6 to cut the remaining three sides of the
rectangle.
9. When all cuts are complete, use a flat blade screw driver to carefully pry
the cut-out from the floor.
NOTE: DO NOT use the saw blade to pry the cut-out from the floor. You
will break the blade. If the cut-out is not easy to pry from the floor, check
to make sure each line is cut completely into the corner of the rectangle.

8. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 to cut the remaining three sides of the
rectangle.
9. When all cuts are complete, use a flat blade screw driver to carefully pry
the cut-out from the drywall.
NOTE: DO NOT use the saw blade to pry the cut-out from the drywall.
You will break the blade. If the cut-out is not easy to pry from the drywall,
check to make sure each line is cut completely into the corner of the
rectangle.
USING THE SANDER ATTACHMENT
1. Install the sanding pad on the oscillating tool. (Figures 1 and 2)
2. Install the sandpaper on the sanding pad. (Figure 3)
3. Set the speed control wheel between #5 and MAX. (Figure 5)
4. Turn the switch ON. (Figure 4)
NOTE: This tool is designed for detail sanding on small surface areas.
Place the sandpaper surface of the sanding pad on the workpiece to be
sanded. Keep the tool moving to avoid gouging the surface. Use coarse
sandpaper and lower speeds when sanding rough surfaces and for
removing previous finishes. Use fine sandpaper and higher speeds to
produce the smoothest surface.
USING THE SCRAPER BLADE
1. Install the scraper blade on the oscillating tool. (Figures 1 and 2)
2. Set the speed control wheel to #4. (Figure 5)
3. Turn the switch ON. (Figure 4)
NOTE: When using the scraper blade to scrape old finishes or glue from a
workpiece, place the underside of the blade flat on the workpiece surface
and then lift upward on the rear of the tool to allow the blade to form a
very slight angle with the workpiece surface. Feed the blade slowly into
the material that is to be removed. Do not force the tool as slower travel
speeds will produce better cutting action and reduce the risk of gouging
the workpiece.
NOTE: When using the scraper blade to cut carpet, place a scrap
workpiece under the carpet where the cut is being made. Set the speed
to #6, turn the tool so the scraper blade is at right angles (perpendicular)
to the carpet and then feed the blade into the carpet.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. The use of any
other part may create a hazard or cause product damage.
DO NOT use solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Plastics are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetrating oils, etc. to come into contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
DO NOT abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage the tool and
the workpiece.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify tools or create accessories. Any such alteration
or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition
leading to possible serious injury. It will also void the warranty.
NOTE: It has been found that electric tools are subjected to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure when they are used on fiberglass
boats and sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The
chips and grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electric
tool parts such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently,
it is not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any
fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. During
any use on these materials it is extremely important that the tool is
cleaned frequently by blowing it out with an air jet.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount
of high-grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal conditions.
Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
REPLACING THE CARBON MOTOR BRUSHES
The carbon motor brushes will wear down and require replacing. The time
intervals between replacements will vary depending upon the torques
being achieved and the hours of use. It is recommended that the brushes
be checked after each 10 hours of use. When the length of the carbon
brush reaches 1/4" (6.35 mm), the brushes should be replaced.
WARNING
Make sure the oscillating tool is unplugged from the power source.
REMOVING WORN MOTOR BRUSHES
1. Remove any accessory that has been installed on the tool.
2. Lay the tool on its left side on a towel or on corrugated. (Figure 9)
