SAFETY INFORMATION
Battery Tool Use and Care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paperclips,
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.
• 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 battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified
batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire
or temperature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures
outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed
by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
Specific Safety Warnings for Multi-Tool
• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool live and shock the operator.
• Take protective measures when dust can develop during working that is harmful
to one's health, combustible or explosive. Example: Some dusts are regarded as
carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
• Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of water into the machine increases
the risk of an electric shock.
• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more securely than by hand.
• Wear protective gloves when changing cutting tools. Cutting tools become hot after
prolonged usage.
