GENERAL SAFETY RULES

_, WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury. The term "power tool" in all of warnings listed below refers to

corded power tools or battery-operated (cordless) power tools.

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks,

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a aower tool.

Distractions may cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

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.

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adaptor plugs with grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.

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 edge, 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.

• Use the battery only with the charger listed:

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use a power 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment, such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, and hearing protection, when

used for appropriate conditions, will reduce personal injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Make sure that the switch is in the "OFF" position

before plugging the tool into an electrical outlet. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the power

switch "ON" invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or 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, make sure that these are connected and properly used. Use of

these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

Use clamps or another practical way to support and secure the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it

unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot
safely control the power tool.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields. Everyday glasses may have

impact-resistant lenses, but they are NOT safety glasses. Following this rule
will reduce the risk of eye injury.

Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of
operation. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious person injury.

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 designated.

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 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.

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's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

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, blades, etc. in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
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.

Hold power tools by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing any
operation in which the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the

tool "live" and can shock the operator.

Know your power tool. Read the product manual carefully. Learn the
applications and limitations, as well as the specific, potential hazards related

to this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
serious injury.

Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct
others who may use this tool. If you lend this tool to someone else, also lend

them these instructions.

BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

• Make sure that the switch is in the OFF position before inserting the battery
pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch ON

invites accidents.
Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that

is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used

with another battery pack.

Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any

other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects,

such as paper clips, coins, keys, nails screws, 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 fire.
Battery tools do not have to be plugged into an electrical outlet; therefore,

they are always in operating condition. Be aware of possible hazards when

not using your battery tool or when changing accessories. Following this rule

will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or serious personal injury.

Do not place battery tools or their batteries near fire or heat. This will reduce

the risk of explosion and possible injury.

Do not crush, drop or damage the battery pack. Do not use a battery pack or

charger that has been dropped or received a sharp blow. A damaged battery

is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or damaged
battery immediately.

A damaged battery is subject to explosion. Properly dispose of a dropped or
damaged battery immediately.

Batteries vent hydrogen gas and can explode in the presence of a source of
ignition, such as a pilot light. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
never use any cordless product in the presence of open flame. An exploded

battery can propel debris and chemicals. If exposed to such debris or

chemicals, immediately flush the exposed area with water.

Do not charge a battery tool in a damp or wet location. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of electric shock.

• Under extreme usage or temperature conditions, battery leakage may occur.

• If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• If liquid comes in contact with your skin, wash immediately with soap and

water, then neutralize with lemon juice or vinegar.

• If liquid from the battery gets in your eyes, flush them with clean water for at
least 10 minutes, and then seek immediate medical attention. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person.

• When servicing a power tool, use only identical replacement parts.

• 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 CORDLESS MULTI-TOOL

• Never use your Multi-Tool to perform sanding or separating operations in

wet conditions.

• Always wear eye protection.

• Always wear ear protection during extended periods of operation.

• Always wear a dust mask if the operation is dusty.

• Wear protective gloves when changing application accessories. Application

accessories become hot after prolonged usage.

• Always inspect for and remove all nails, screws, staples, etc. before sanding.

• Always check walls and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and pipes. A
metal detector (available separately) is very helpful for this purpose.

• Whenever possible, use clamping devices or other suitable means to secure

the workpiece to a firm surface.

• When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and
provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more securely with

both hands.
Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous.

Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.

Avoid unintentionally switching on the tool. Ensure that the on/off switch is

in the OFF position before inserting the battery pack. Do not carry the power

tool with your finger on the on/off switch or insert the battery pack into power
tools that have the switch on.

• Do not open the battery. Danger of short-circuiting.

• Do not scrape wet or dampened materials (e.g. wallpaper) 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 fluids.
Materials being heated by the scraping can cause toxic vapors to develop.

• Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper accessory. The

accessory is very sharp; danger of injury.

• Use only the original Craftsman accessories and the other accessories (Fein

and Rockwell Multi-Tool Accessories) available for this Mulit-Tool, no others.
