WORK AREA

Keep work area clean,

•

Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion;

•

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 can cause you to lose control, so visitors
should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

• Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your work area,
particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator's view that may be unintentionally contacted
and may cause personal harm or property damage.

and rotating parts.

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
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and
should be avoided.

• Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which comply with current
national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons
in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, and hearing protection when
appropriate.

• Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure the switch is in the off
position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power failure, while a tool is being used, turn the switch off
to prevent surprise starting when power is restored.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the tool. A wrench or key that

is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Use safety equipment. Non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable

conditions. Wear heavy-duty work gloves during use, as well as a dusk mask in dusty conditions.

Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may

cause hearing loss.

Tool use and care

• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing

the tool.

Maintain the tool with care.

abnormal operation, breakage of the tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at

the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as marked on the tool. Always verify prior to using the tool

that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.

• Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the tool.

Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.

• Only use with accessories rated to handle the forces exerted by this tool during operation. Other accessories not

designed for the forces generated may break and forcefully launch pieces.

• Avoid accidental injury. Keep hands and fingers safely away from the oscillating Scraper, Blades, Sanding Pad and

Sandpaper when operating the tool.

• Before each use make sure the Retainer(2) and Cap screw(1) are tightly secured for safe and efficient operation.

people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or

Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness,

and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

• Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of

vibration-related injury.
