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 all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
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.
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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Don’t 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 to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
3
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while
tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions to protect against personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before plugging in. Carrying tools with your nger
on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove adjusting key or wrench before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
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 device has provisions 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.
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.
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack
may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and re.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws
4
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 re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, ush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
~ Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
~ Keep hands away from the sawing range.
Do not reach under the work piece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
~ Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for
assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to re and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
~ When working with the machine, always hold it rmly with both hands and take a secure stance. The power tool is
guided more securely with both hands.
~ Secure the work piece. A work piece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand.
~ Keep your work piece clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
~ Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying
the power tool with your nger on the On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
~ Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.
Protect the battery against heat, e.g., ~ also against continuous sun irradiation and re. There is danger of explosion.
~ In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. Provide for fresh air and seek medical
help in case of complaints. The vapours can irritate the respiratory system.
~ When the battery is defective, liquid can escape and come into contact with adjacent components. Check any parts
concerned. Clean such parts or replace them, if required.
~ Use the battery only in conjunction with your Swarts tool. This measure alone protects the battery against dangerous
overload.
~ Wear protective gloves when changing application tools/accessories. Application tools/accessories become hot after
prolonged usage.
~ Do not scrape wet materials (e.g. wall-paper) or on moist surfaces. Penetration of water into the machine increases the
risk of an electric shock.
~ Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing uids. Materials being warmed up by the scraping can
cause toxic vapours to develop.
~ Exercise extreme caution when handling scraper. The accessory is very sharp; danger of injury.

Sharp blades, heat buildup and ying debris are a danger to user and bystanders. Use of suitable protective clothing,
gloves, footwear, eye and ear protection, as well as safe working practices can reduce these risks.
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings, some wood types, nerals and metal can
be harmful to one’s health. Touching or breathing-in the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or lead
to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders.
Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment
additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
- Use dust extraction whenever possible.
- Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
- It is recommended to wear a P2 lter class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
Do not cover the venting slots of the machine while working, as this reduces the working life of the machine.
This tool vibrates at very high frequency. Regular breaks must be taken to reduce the chance of injury. At the rst sign of
discomfort work should immediately cease.
If required, remove an already mounted application tool/accessory. Loosen the screw with the hex
key and remove the tool/accessory. Be sure to clear any debris. Mount the suitable tool/accessory
in such a manner on the tool holder that the offset faces downward. Turn the tool/accessory to a
position favourable for the respective job, and allow it to engage into the cams of the tool holder. 12
different positions are possible, each offset by 30°. Fasten the tool/accessory with Locking Bolt and
Washer. Tighten the bolt with Hex key until the washer and bolt are ush with the tool/accessory and
rmly xed.
The sanding plates are tted with Velcro backing for quick and easy fastening of sanding sheets with
Velcro adhesion. Before attaching the sanding sheet, free the Velcro backing of the sanding plate
from any debris by tapping to enable optimum adhesion. Position the sanding sheet ush alongside
one edge of the sanding plate, then lay the sanding sheet onto the sanding plate and press rmly. To
remove the sanding sheet, grasp it at one of the tips and pull it off from the sanding plate.

To start the machine, push the On/Off switch forward so that “ON” is indicated on the switch.
To switch off the machine, push the On/Off switch toward the rear so that the “OFF” is indicated on the switch.
Selecting the rate of oscillation use the thumbwheel to select the rate of oscillation.
The required rate of oscillation depends on the material and the working conditions and can be determined through
practical testing.
~ Use undamaged faultless saw blades only.
Deformed, blunt saw blades or saw blades that are otherwise damaged can break or shatter.
~ When sawing light building materials, observe the statutory provisions and the recommendations of the material
suppliers.
~ Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.
Before sawing with saw blades in wood, particle board, building materials, etc., check these for foreign objects such as
nails, screws or similar. If required, remove foreign objects or use SW2035 saw blades.
Note: When separating wall tiles take into consideration that the application tools/accessories wear heavily when used
for longer periods of time.
The removal rate and the sanding pattern are primarily determined by the choice of sanding sheet, the preset oscillation
rate and the applied pressure.
Flawless sanding sheets achieve the best sanding capacity and extend the service life of the machine.
Try to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life of the sanding sheets.
Additional pressure does not lead to an increased sanding capacity, only increased wear of the machine and the
sanding sheet.
For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard to reach areas, it is also possible to work only with the tip or
an edge of the sanding plate.
When selectively sanding on the spot, the sanding sheet can heat up considerably. Reduce the oscillation rate and allow
the sanding sheet to cool down regularly.
A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other materials.
12
For scraping, select a high oscillation rate. Work on a soft surface (e.g. wood) on a at angle and apply only light
pressure. Otherwise the scraper can cut into the surface.
Switch off and remove the battery before carrying out any maintenance on the tool.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the xing screws are present and tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
Remove dust and dirt regularly.
Cleaning is best done with compressed air or a rag.
Never us caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact with the tool.
When the unit is overloaded (e.g.: the work piece is too hard or the blade is stuck), current increases rapidly and triggers
the auto cut-off which will be indicated by RED ashing LED. To reset, slide the power knob to “OFF” position and restart
again after readjusting to a proper cutting pressure/angle as well as choosing a higher torque setting.
When the required discharging current is too high where remaining battery voltage is not enough to drive the machine,
power supply cuts automatically and LED light goes out. To reset, slide the power knob on “ON” position and restart.
Note: Frequent occurrence of low voltage protection indicates low battery capacity, please recharge your battery in time.
13
