General power tool safety
warnings

Warning: Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1

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 flammable 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.

2

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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets

will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,

such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not 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 for carrying, pulling

or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

e) 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.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,

use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an

RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3

PERSONAL SAFETY
a) 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.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid

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

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the

off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with

your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

d) 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.

3

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.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction

and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related

hazards.

4

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 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.

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.

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.

5

SERVICE
a) 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.

b) If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to

be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.

Additional safety points for your
tool

1

Never use your High Frequency Multi-function Tool for wet
applications.

2

Always wear eye protection.

3

Always wear ear protection during extended periods of operation.

4

Always wear a dust mask if the operation is dusty.

5

Always inspect and remove all nails and screws etc before sanding.

4

Always check walls and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and

6

pipes. A metal detector can be obtained from any good DIY store for
this purpose.
If possible, use clamping devices or other suitable means to secure

7

the workpiece to a firm surface.
Use the original accessories and the tool provided, no others.

8

Only use accessories in good condition. Do not use torn or worn

9

accessories.
Do not use a damaged plug or cord, if damaged have them repaired.

10

Always be aware of the cord location.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carr y the tools or pull

11

the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Do not turn the machine on whilst any of the accessories are resting

12

on or inserted into the work piece or material that you want to work
with. Wait until the machine is up to full speed before proceeding
with your task.
Unplug your tools before mounting or replacing accessories.

13

Do not “jam” the cut-off saw blade or apply excessive pressure. Do

14

not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.
Keep your hands away from cutting area. Do not reach under the

15

material being cut.

Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when

16

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 shock the operator.
The operating instructions and the enclosed safety information should

17

be kept carefully for later use and enclosed with the machine, should
it be passed on or sold.

Warning! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

1) lead from lead-based paint

2) crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products

3) arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:

1) Work in a well-ventilated area.

2) Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter microscopic particles.

Warning! While working with this power tool, hand/arm
vibrations occur. Adopt the correct working practices in order to

reduce the exposure to vibration.

Caution: Do not let familiarity with your High Frequency
Multi-function Tool make you careless. Remember that a careless

fraction of a second is sufficient to cause severe injury.
