SAFETY 1.0
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY
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 240V 220W Multi-tool.
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.

INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
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 grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, stoves 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.
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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
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 inuence 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 moving 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.
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 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.

INSTRUCTION BOOKLET 3
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.
SERVICE
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.
MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
~ 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 into powerpoint.
~ 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.
KEY RISKS WITH OSCILLATING TOOLS
~Vibration over long periods of time can cause RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) and a condition known as HAVS
( Hand – Arm Vibration Syndrome) or White Fingers. To avoid injury take regular breaks and never operate tool for longer
than 20 minutes at a time. Do not operate this tool if you have a medical history with the before mentioned conditions/
injuries or if you are unwell or have any kind of injury.

TIPS 2.0
Constant friction on one spot can cause extreme heat and even re.
Reduce heat from friction and build-up of debris by moving the accessory constantly to clear debris and dissipate
heat.
Don’t use excessive pressure; cutting blades will work better at their own pace. Sawing, sanding and
grinding tools will clog if pressed too hard.
Moving the tool from side to side, combined with a light pressure, will give a cleaner, more controllable cut in less
time.
A rotating blade will clear swarf and saw dust from the cut, the oscillating action of this tool does not clear the debris.
When performing a plunge cut where debris cannot escape, e.g. a deep cut to t a lock, stop cutting regularly and
use a brush or vacuum to clear the debris from the cut. Allowing debris to build up will hinder the cutting action.
Grip the tool rmly; the oscillations can be absorbed by your arm and wrist reducing the effectiveness of the cut.
Ensure the work-piece is also securely xed.
Try the Carbide Grit Semicircle Saw (SW2037) to grind away grout between tiles; you won’t nd a faster method. By
skewing the blade in the gap between the tiles slightly you can make a wider groove, so you can clear the gap in one
pass. Remember to take a wire brush to regularly clear the build-up of debris from the grit.

INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for sawing and cutting – using the specied accessories – wooden materials, plastic, gypsum,
non-ferrous metals and fastening elements (e.g. nails, staples). It is also suitable for working soft wall tiles, as well as for
dry sanding and scraping of small surfaces. It is especially suitable for working close to edges and for ush cutting.
NOTE
Due to modern production techniques, it is unlikely that your power tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you nd
anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectied. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
SAFETY NOTES BEFORE STARTING WORK 6.0
Sharp blades, heat buildup and ying debris are a danger to users 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, 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 users
or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered to be 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.

FITTING TOOLS 7.0
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. Tighten the bolt
with Hex key until the accessory is 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.
CHECK THE TIGHT SEATING OF THE TOOL/ACCESSORY WHILE
FITTING AND REGULARLY WHILE WORKING. THERE IS A RISK
THEY CAN COME LOOSE DURING OPERATION AND BE DAMAGED
OR HAZARDOUS.
OPERATING 8.0
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
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.
SAWING
~ 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.

INSTRUCTION BOOKLET
INSTRUCTION BOOKLET 9
SEPARATING
Note: When separating wall tiles take into consideration that the application tools/accessories wear heavily when used
for longer periods of time.
SANDING
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.
SCRAPING
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.
MAINTENANCE 9.0
WARNING: Switch off and unplug the power supply before carrying out any maintenance on the tool.
GENERAL INSPECTION
Regularly check that all of the xing screws are present and tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
DUST
- 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 use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
