OSCILLATING MULTI-TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
OSCILLATING MULTI-TOOL SAFETY
1. Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping sur-
faces, especially when performing an operation where
the accessory could contact hidden wiring.
2. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask during
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of seri-
ous respiratory injury.
3. Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
4. Inspect power cords periodically and repair them as
needed at your nearest authorized service center. Con-
stantly stay aware of cord location. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
5. Check damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
determine that it will operate properly and perform its in-
tended function. Check for alignment, binding, or break-
age of moving parts or any other conditions that may af-
fect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged
should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
shock, fire, or serious injury.
6. Be aware of any nails that may be embedded in the
workpiece. Hitting a nail may change the direction of
the oscillating tool and potentially cause injury. Maintain
safe control of the oscillating tool at all times.
7. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced only
by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center.
8. Do not use the sander to remove lead-based paints.
9. Maintain labels and nameplates on the power tool.
These carry important safety information.
10. Avoid accidental injury. Keep hands and fingers
safely away from the oscillating angled scraper, blades,
sanding pad and sandpaper when operating the tool.
11. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work
before turning on the power tool.
12. Do not lay the power tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and
pull the tool out of your control.
13. When using a handheld power tool, maintain a firm
grip on the tool with both hands to resist starting torque.
14. Do not leave the power tool unattended when it is
plugged into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
15. This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of
children.
16. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close
proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker in-
terference or pacemaker failure. In addition, people with
pacemakers should:
a. Avoid operating alone.
b. Do not use with power switch locked on.
c. Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical
shock.
d. Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be imple-
mented to prevent sustained electrical shock.
17. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grind-
ing, drilling, and other construction activities, contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
a. Lead from lead-based paints.
b. Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other ma-
sonry products.
c. Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lum-
ber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
WARNING! Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules.
Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury.
