,_, DANGER: People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should
consult their physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical
equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or
failure of the pacemaker.

_,WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to the state of

California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemical: 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.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

,_, WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions in this Operator's Manual may result in electric shock, fire, and/or

serious personal injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

= The term "power tool" in all warnings listed below refers to corded power

tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.

WORK AREA SAFETY

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive environments, such as in the
presence of flammabJe liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions may cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

= Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified

plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

= 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.

= Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges,

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.

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.
if operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl} protected supply. Use of a GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the

influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while

operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment, such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard

hat, or hearing protection, used for appropriate conditions, will reduce
personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure that the switch is in the OFF
position before connecting to a power source and/or battery, picking up

or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

energizing power tools that have the switch turned on invites accidents.
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.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure that these are connected and properly used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and more safely at
the rate for which it was designed.

• 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.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery 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.

• 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.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool

operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

35078 Manual_Revised_12-0615 Page 7

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Use the power tool, accessories, 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 qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may create

a risk of shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR MULTI-TOOL

• Hold power tools by their insulated gripping surfaces when performing

an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its

own cord. Contact with a" live" wire will make exposed metal parts of the

tool live and will shock the operator.

• A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead paint,

some woods and metal to avoid breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.

= Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding, especially

when sanding over-head.

= The machine is not suitable for wet sanding.
= Do not use sanding paper larger than needed. Extra paper extending

beyond the sanding pad can cause serious lacerations.

= Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a

vice is held more securely than by hand.

= Wear protective gloves when changing cutting tools. Cutting tools

become hot after prolonged use..

= Keep hands away from the cutting range. Do not reach under the

workpiece. Contact with the blade can lead to injuries.
