SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may
result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
SAVE & KEEP A COPY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 ammable 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. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
General Power Tool
Safety Warnings
WARNING

9
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 inuence 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 nger 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

10
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.
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 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.
5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

11
1. Always wear eye protection.
2. Never operate The Renovator in wet conditions.
3. During extended periods of use wear ear protection.
4. If operating in a dusty environment wear a dust mask.
5. Check and remove nails, screws and any other metal
object from timber before sanding.
6. Always inspect walls and ceilings to avoid possible hidden
power cables and pipes.
7. Use clamps or other suitable clamping devices to secure
the work piece rmly to the surface.
8. Only use attachments supplied with The Renovator.
9. Do not use broken, torn or worn accessories and
attachments. Only use attachments that are in a good
working condition.
10. Inspect power cords and plugs before using The
Renovator. If any damage is apparent have it repaired rst.
Always make sure that the cord is located in a safe area.
11. Never abuse the power cord and keep it clear from heat
sources, liquids, sharp objects and moving parts at all times.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging The
Renovator. Immediately replace damaged cords.
12. Always start The Renovator in a clear space and let it
reach optimal speed before moving into the work piece.
13. Before replacing attachments unplug the power cord.
14. Do not ‘jam’ the E-cut saw blades or use excessive force.
Never make an overly excessive deep cut.
15. Keep your hands clear of the work area and always cut
away from yourself and other people.
16. Always hold The Renovator by the insulated grip when
cutting where hidden wiring may exist or where the power
cords may lie.
Electric shock may result when metal parts of The Renovator
make contact with ‘live‘ wires.
17. This Safety and Operating Manual and other enclosed
safety information should be kept safe with The Renovator.
Refer to them regularly and use them to instruct others who
may use or borrow The Renovator. The manual and other
instructions should be passed on to the new owner if The
Renovator is sold.
Additional Safety
Rules

12
WARNING!
Whilst working with The Renovator vibration may occur
to your hands and arms. To reduce the effects of vibration
use the proper work practices. (See Operating Tips on page
14 for more information).
CAUTION:
Do not let yourself get careless as you become familiar
with The Renovator. A moment of carelessness can cause
severe injury.
WARNING!
Some dust created by The Renovator from sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
on certain materials may contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
a) Lead from lead-based paint;
b) Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry
products;
c) Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.
Depending on how often you do this type of work your risk of
exposure to these chemicals will vary. To reduce the risk of
exposure to these chemicals:
a) Always work in a well ventilated area;
b) Use dust masks specically designed to lter
microscopic particles as well as other approved safety
equipment;
c) Use The Renovator’s vacuum attachment with an
approved ltering system to help catch dust from dispersing
into the air.
Avoid long periods of exposure to dust from sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water.
Do not allow dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on
exposed skin. This may promote the absorption of harmful
chemicals.
Use of The Renovator on certain materials can generate
and/or disperse dust which may cause serious and
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING

13
permanent respiratory problems or other injury.
Always use approved respiratory protection appropriate
for dust exposure according to your national safety
organisations.
Direct dust particles away from your face and body.
EXTENSION CORDS
ALWAYS USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS. Make sure
that any extension cord used are in good condition.
We recommend that power to the tool always be supplied
via a residual current device with a rated residual current
of 30 mA or less.
DOUBLE INSULATION
The Renovator is double insulated. This means that the
outer metal parts are electrically insulated from the main
power supply. This makes it unnecessary for the tool to be
grounded. Insulation barriers between the electrical and
mechanical components create the double insulation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ensure the voltage matches the power supply given on the
rating label. The Renovator is tted with a two core power
cord and plug.
Remove the power cord from the power socket before any
servicing or adjustments are carried out on the unit.
To reduce the risk of injury, the operator must rstly read and
understand the Safety and Operating Manual.

5. SECURING THE WORK PIECE
Where possible use gripping tools such as clamps or a vice
to secure the work piece.
TIP: Making a cut or using material close to an rmly anchored
point on the work piece will reduce vibration in the material
allowing for a smoother and easier cut.
CAUTION: Always check that no power cords will be
damaged whilst operating The Renovator.
4. USING THE Variable SPEED DIAL
While The Renovator is running, the variable speed dial
can be set to the optimum oscillating frequency for the
attachment tools, respective to their application.

Connecting the
Vacuum Accessory
Remove any attachments from
the oscillating head. (1)
Insert the slotted end of the
vacuum head into the slotted
end of the vacuum nozzle.
They should clip together.
Then place the vacuum head
opening over the tool holding
head of the Renovator. Make
sure the curved side of the
vacuum nozzle aligns along
the handle of the Renovator.
The curved surface of the
vacuum nozzle and the curved
surface of the Renovator
handle should t together. (2)
Use the vacuum nozzle clip to
secure the nozzle rmly and
correctly. The clip should snap
into the vent slots on either
side of the Renovator body. (3)
Select the appropriate sized
hose connector and slide on
to the back end of the vacuum
nozzle. Check the connector
grips the nozzle rmly. (4,5)
Attach a vacuum hose to the
hose to nozzle connector. Note
for the best t it is best to join a
hose directly to the connector.
(6)
Tool accessories can only be
attached to the Renovator
after the vacuum attachment
is securely in place. Some
vacuum hoses have different
sizes so we recommend
using an o-ring seal or tape to
ensure a rm t.
