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 termi-
nals together may cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If con-
tact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-
aged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behaviour resulting in
fire, explosion or risk of injury.
Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or

CORDLESS MULTI TOOL SAFETY
WARNINGS
1. This power tool is intended to function for
sawing, cutting, grinding and sanding. Read all
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2. Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, 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.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
4. Always use safety glasses or goggles.
Ordinary eye or sun glasses are NOT safety
glasses.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpiece for any
nails and remove them before operation.
Hold the tool firmly.
6.
7. Make sure the application tool is not contact-
ing the workpiece before the switch is turned
on.
8. Keep hands away from moving parts.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. Always switch off and wait for the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing the
blade from the workpiece.
Do not touch the application tool or the work-
11.
piece immediately after operation; they may be
extremely hot and could burn your skin.
12. Do not operate the tool at no-load
unnecessarily.
13. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may
be toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhala-
tion and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
15. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
16. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
17. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints
and wood could expose user to dust contain-
ing hazardous substances. Use appropriate
respiratory protection.
18. Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage
on the pad before use. Cracks or breakage
may cause a personal injury.
19. Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
20. Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-
priate, wear hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye pro-
tection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations . The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure
to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
21. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory
may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
22. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
