Intended Use
• Oscillating multi-tool designed for cutting and abrasive tasks by fast oscillation
of a blade, file or sanding pad.
Unpacking your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool
Before Use
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed
from the power supply, before fitting or removing accessories.
WARNING: Always wear suitable gloves when handling blades or other sharp
accessories.
Fitting a blade or scraper
1. Use the supplied hex key to loosen
and remove the Mounting Bolt (9)
and Mounting Washer (8), turning
the bolt anti-clockwise as you face
the Mounting Spindle (6) (see Fig. A)
2. Position the blade or scraper on to
the flange of the Mounting Spindle
(6), so that the mounting holes in
the blade engage with the pins on
the flange (see Fig. B)
3. The blade or scraper can be
positioned at an angle not directly in
line with the tool if required, so long
as the blade or scraper mounting
holes are engaged with the pins on
the mounting flange
4. Re-fit the Mounting Bolt and
Mounting Washer carefully, as
shown in Fig. B, ensuring the blade
or scraper correctly sits in the
flange pins as the bolt is tightened.
The blade or scraper and Mounting
Spindle can be damaged if the pins
are not inserted into the blade mounting holes

Product Familiarisation
• NEVER start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in contact with
the workpiece, and always allow the power tool to reach its full speed before
making contact with the workpiece. Use the variable speed control of the tool (if
fitted) to start the tool at the correct speed for the accessory or blade fitted
• DO NOT exert additional pressure on the body of the tool: allow the blade or
accessory to do the work. By not exerting additional pressure you maintain a
safer stronger grip on the power tool when it breaks through the material, as
well as reducing wear on the power tool which will extend the power tool’s
service life. Additional pressure may also bend or twist the accessory or blade
which may cause it to break and cause injury. If the power tool allows for being
held with one or two hands hold with two hands whenever possible. Always
exercise caution when handling this power tool
• Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions create heat. This may affect the workpiece
and power tool. Always monitor the heat level and in the event of excessive
heat switch off the power tool and allow to cool before restarting work. Some
power tools depending on design may be more quickly and effectively cooled by
running at high speed without load
• The power tool will draw in dust through the vents on its body. Excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause an electrical hazard and destroy
the tool. Always ensure the environment dust level is safe for the tool and
ensure the vents are not blocked
• For mains-operated power tools, ensure the cable of the power tool is always
kept behind the tool and never close to where the accessory or blade is
operating
• DO NOT reach under the workpiece, rest the workpiece on your body, or hold
the workpiece while working on it, as contact with the blade or accessory
protruding from the workpiece can result in serious injury
• Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating power tools that produce
large amount of vibration, especially during long-term use
• For power tools with a rotating mechanism and accessories ensure the operator
is not wearing clothes or gloves with frayed threads, cords etc. that could be
entangled in the rotating mechanism dragging the operator’s hand into the
rotating accessory causing injury. ALWAYS wear tight fitting work clothes, safety
shoes. Remove jewellery and secure long hair. Never wear fabric-based gloves
that can produce strands of material when operating this type of power tool
• DO NOT allow sanding sheets to wear away on the sanding pad. This will
damage the surface of the pad requiring replacement and may cause parts of
the sanding sheet to fly off the pad, causing operator injury
• DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet
• Wire brush bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation.
DO NOT overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and skin
Note: The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other than
those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator,
and not the manufacturer, shall be liable for any damage or injury resulting from
such cases of misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications
made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.
