General Power Tool Safety Warnings - Personal Safety
Warning! Read all safety warnings and all 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.
The term "power tool" in all of 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 use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
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 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,
clothing and gloves 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 these
devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 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.
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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
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.
5) 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) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

ASSEMBLY (cont.)
Changing Sanding Paper
NOTE: The sanding pad (12) is a hook and loop baseplate covered with Velcro
material. The sanding paper (11) can therefore be quickly and simply attached or
removed from the Velcro fastening system.
1. Align the sanding paper (11) to the sanding pad (12)
and press firmly to hold in place. As this product does
not include a dust extraction system, it is not critical
that the holes in the sanding paper lines up with the
holes on the sanding pad (12).
2. To remove or change the sanding paper carefully
peel off the sanding paper from one of the triangle
ends (Fig. 3).
Operating the On/Off Switch
1. To turn the Multi Function Tool on, slide the on/off
switch (2) forward (Fig. 4).
2. To turn the Multi Function Tool off, slide the on/off
switch (2) towards the rear of the Multi Function Tool.
Adjusting the Variable Speed
NOTE: In various applications you will need to select the
correct speed.
1. When the Multi Function Tool power is turned on,
select the “oscillation frequency speed” by scrolling
the variable speed dial (1) to your desired speed.
(Fig. 5) The higher the number on the variable speed
dial (1) the faster the oscillation frequency of the
Multi Funtion Tool.
2. Recommended oscillation frequency for applications:
High oscillation frequency Sanding, sawing, rasping, and polishing stone and
metal
(rasping and polishing accessories not supplied)
Low oscillation frequency Polishing varnishes (polishing accessories not supplied)

Choosing the Correct Sanding Paper
Sanding paper (11) is rated according to the number marked on the rear of the
sanding paper (11). The higher the number, the smaller and less coarse the
particles are on the sanding paper (11). The lower the number, the larger and more
coarse the particles are on the sanding paper, this will provide a more aggressive
sanding action.
Coarse grit (eg.40) is used for removing paint and sanding down rough surfaces.
Medium grit (eg.80) is used for sanding down plain timber .
Fine grit (eg.120) is used to give a smooth finish to bare wood.
Extra fine grit (eg.400-1200) is used for polishing or sanding between coats of paint.
If there are still marks on your work after sanding, try stepping back to a coarser
grade of sanding paper and sanding the marks out. Then recommence with the
original choice of grit, or try using a finer (higher numbered) piece of sand paper
(11) to eliminate the unwanted marks and finish the job.
NOTE: Try not to apply excessive pressure when using the Multi Function Tool as a
sander as excessive pressure and coarse sanding paper (11) can lead to swirl marks
or “ring” impressions on your workpiece.
Sanding
NOTE: Ensure you have the correct sanding paper for your application.
Always test on a scrap workpiece before using on your workpiece.
1. In sanding mode, the Multi Function Tool can be used on materials such as
wood, plastic, metal and painted surfaces.
2. Slide the on/off switch (2) forward to the “on”
position. Ensure the Multi Function Tool is not
placed on the workpiece.
3. Select the desired oscillation frequency speed on
the variable speed dial (1) and wait until the
motor reaches its maximum speed.
4. Place the Multi Function Tool on your workpiece,
ensuring the whole area of the sanding base is in
contact with the work surface (Fig. 6).
5. Allow the Multi Function Tool to do the work and
do not apply heavy pressure on the Multi
Function Tool. Heavy pressure does not increase
the removal of material but will wear your
sanding paper (11) faster.
6. If sanding corners in hard to reach areas use the
tip or triangle edge of the sanding pad (12) (Fig. 7).
NOTE: Sanding pad must be kept flat on
workpiece. Do not tilt the sanding base and use the edge of the sanding
paper or the sanding pad will be damaged and not hold your sanding paper.
