Safety information for multifunction tools

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 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.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the workpiece and the sander. Always empty the dust container before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in the filter bag or vacuum cleaner filter can spontaneously ignite under unfavourable conditions, such as when sparks are created when grinding metal. This risk is increased if the sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is hot as a result of prolonged work.

Keep hands away from the sawing area. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.

Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

Use suitable detectors to determine if there are hidden supply lines or contact the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric cables can cause fire and electric shock. Damaging gas lines can lead to explosion. Breaking water pipes causes property damage.

Hold the power tool firmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.

When changing the application tool, wear protective gloves. Application tools can become hot when used for prolonged periods of time.

Do not treat the surface you will be working on with any fluids that contain solvents. Poisonous vapours may develop due to the materials heating up when being scraped.

Take particular care when handling scrapers and blades. The accessories are very sharp. Danger of injury.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, vapours may be emitted. The battery can set alight or explode. Ensure the area is well ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse effects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting.

The battery can be damaged by pointed objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by force applied externally. An internal short circuit may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke, explode or overheat.

Only use the battery in the manufacturer's products. This is the only way in which you can protect the battery against dangerous overload.

Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and short-circuiting.

Keep the magnet away from implants and other medical devices, e.g. pacemakers or insulin pumps. The magnet generates a field that can impair the function of implants and medical devices.

Keep the power tool away from magnetic data carriers and magnetically sensitive equipment. The effect of the magnet can lead to irreversible data loss.
