SAFETY WARNINGS WORK AREA 1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. 2. 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.

5. DO NOT overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 6. 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.

CHOOSING THE CORRECT SANDING SHEET The sanding sheets are rated according to the number marked on the back of each sheet. The lower the number, the coarser and more abrasive the particles on the sheet will be. Very coarse grit (e.g.40) is used for removing paint and sanding down rough surfaces.

USING THE SAW ATTACHMENTS In sawing mode, the tool can be used to cut materials such as wood, plastics and sheet metal such as aluminium, although the supplied blades are not ideally suited to cutting steel or similar ferrous metals. CAUTION: CLAMP YOUR WORKPIECE SECURELY IF POSSIBLE BEFORE STARTING WORK.
1. Switch the tool on before it touches the work piece. 2. Adjust the speed control to a medium/high speed as required. 3. Place the tool on the workpiece, ensuring the angle of the scraper blade to the workpiece is correct. 4.
