SAFETY WARNING FOR THE MULTITOOL
Please note the included General
Safety Notes and the following
safety notes to avoid malfunctions,
damage or physical injury:
• Make sure the voltage corresponds to the
type label on the unit.
• Persons with limited physical, sensorial or
mental abilities or lack of know-how are
not allowed to use the unit, unless they are
supervised for their safety by a qualified
person or are briefed by the responsible
person how to use the unit.
• The multitool may be used with the
included sanding paper pads for dry
sanding work only.
• The multitool may be used with the
included saw blades for cutting wood and
plastics only.
• Hold the multitool with both hands and
make sure you stand firmly. The multi-
function tool can be operated much safer
with both hands.
• Secure the work piece. A work piece can
be machined much safer when it is
secured by clamps or in a vice rather than
with your hand.
• Keep your working area clean. Messy
mixes of material are especially
dangerous. Aluminum dust is explosive.
• Do not machine material which contains
asbestos. Asbestos may cause cancer.
• Take protective measures when working
with materials, which may form hazardous,
flammable or explosive dust. For example:
Some dusts may cause cancer. Wear a
dust mask and use a dust extractor
whenever possible. Wear ear protection
and protective goggles.
• Please note that poisonous dust may be
emitted while removing paint. Use suitable
inhalation protection and ensure adequate
ventilation.
• If you connect a vacuum cleaner on the
multitool, make sure the parts are
connected and used correctly. Using such
equipment reduces hazards from dust.

• Do not use the multitool with damaged
power cable. Do not touch the damaged
cable and pull out the power plug if the
cable becomes dam-aged during
operation. Damaged cables increase the
risk of an electric shock. If the supply cord
is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or an authorized Service
Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
• Wear protective gloves when changing the
tool bits. Tool attachments become very
hot during use.
• Use the multitool only for dry sanding and
for cutting dry wood and plastics. Water
entering the housing of the electric tool
greatly increases the danger of an electric
stroke.
• Keep your hands away from the saw
blade. Do not reach under the work piece.
Touching the saw blade may cause injury.
• Use suitable devices to locate hidden
cables or pipes. Contact with an electric
cable may cause an electric stroke.
Damaging a gas pipe may cause a fire or
explosion. Damaging a water pipe may
cause extensive damage and electric
stroke.
• Unit and tools warm up when using them
for a long time. Do not overload the
multitool and allow to cool down between
the individual operational steps.
• Do not open the unit and do not try to
repair it yourself. Please contact a
professional or our customer service. Only
use original replacement parts.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR
MULTITOOLS
Contact with or inhalation of dust coming free
during use (e.g. lead-painted surfaces, wood
and metal) can endanger your health and the
health of bystanders. Always wear appropriate
protective equipment, such as a dust mask.
Always use proper dust extraction during use.
• Do not work materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Do not work metal with a magnesium
content of more than 80%.
• Be very careful when working painted
surfaces.
