VIBRATION INFORMATION

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) deter­mined according to EN 60745:

Typical weighted
vibration

The declared vibration total value may be used for
comparing one tool with another, and may also be
used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The vibration emission value
during actual use of the power tool can differ

from the declared value depending on the
ways in which the tool is used dependant on the
following examples and other variations on how the
tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or
sanded.
The tool being in good condition and well
maintained.
The use the correct accessory for the tool and
ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any
anti vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design
and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration
syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of

exposure level in the actual conditions of use

should also take account of all parts of the
operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce
the exposure level over the total working period.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these
instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate)
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration
tool use across a number of days.

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING: Read all safety warnings
and all instructions. Failure to follow the

warnings and instructions may re sult in electric
shock, fire and/ or serious injury.

Save all warn ings 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 SA FET Y
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark areas invite ac cidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explos ive

atmospheres, such as in the presen ce of
flammable liqu ids, gases or dust. Power

tools create sparks whic h may ignite the dust
or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operatin g a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to los e control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the out let.

Never modif y the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter p lugs with eart hed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec tric
shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There

is an increased risk of elec tric 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 ent angle d cords increase the risk
of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an ex tension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for

outdoor use reduces the risk of electric sho ck.

f) If ope rating a power tool in a dam p

location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.

Use of an RCD reduces the risk of elec tric
shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay aler t, watch what you are doin g and

use com mon sense when operati ng a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while

you are t ired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injur y.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mas k, non -skid safety
shoes, hard ha t, or hearing protec tion used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure

the switch is in the off-position befo re
connecti ng to power sou rce an d/or
batt ery pack, picking up or carr ying the
tool. Carr ying power tools with your finger on

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

d) Remove any a djusting key or wrench

before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left a ttached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injur y.

e) Do not overre ach. Keep proper footin g

and balance at all times. This enables

bet ter control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

f) Dress properly. Do n ot wear loose

clot hing or jewe llery. Keep you r hair,
clot hing and gl oves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be c aught in moving part s.

g) If devices are provided for t he

connection of du st ext raction and
collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can re duce 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 correc t power tool will do the job bet ter
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use t he powe r tool i f 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 p lug from th e power

source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before mak ing 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 chi ldren and do not allow persons
unfa miliar with the power tool or these
inst ructions to operate t he power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

e) Main tain power tools. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of part s and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power

5

Oscillating Tool WX693 WX693.9

tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by p oorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting too ls sharp and clea n.

Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

g) Use the power too l, 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 p ower tool for

operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situa tion.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the ch arger spec ified

by the manufacturer. A charger that is

suitable for one type of ba ttery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.

b) Use power tools only wi th specifically

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fire.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other met al objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or ot her
smal l metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may

6

cause burns or a fire.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If

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

6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by

a qual ified repair person using on ly
identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTION FOR
CUTTING

1. Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a

“live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and could give the operator an
electric shock.

2. Always wear a dust mask.

SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
BATTERY PACK

a) Do not dismantle, open or shred cells or

battery pack.

b) Do not short-circuit a battery pack. Do not

store battery packs haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each
other or be short-circuited by conductive
materials. When battery pack is not in use,

keep it away from other metal objects, like 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.

c) Do not expose battery pack to heat or fire.

Avoid storage in direct sunlight.

d) Do not subject battery pack to mechanical

shock.

e) In the event of battery leaking, do not

allow the liquid to come into contact

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
TOOL

If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when
used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and
run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor.
Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always
keep the blade sharp.
Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or

8

clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality
of the cutting or sanding finish.
Start your tool before working and turn it off only after
you stop working.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away , it will
damage the sanding pad. The guarantee does not
cover sanding pad wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium
grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for finishing
surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap
material.
Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency
and cause motor overload. Replacing the accessory
regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH
CARE

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication
or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts
in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with
a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry
place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all
working controls free of dust.
