WARNING:
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand this operator’s
manual as well as the operator’s manual for the power base and, if applicable,
the battery pack and charger before use. Ensure compatibility and proper fit
of head and power base before using.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
 Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. 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 work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
 To reduce the risk of electrocution or electric shock, do not touch exposed
metal parts of multi-tool head or power base during operation. For proper hand
placement, refer to the operator’s manual included with your power base.

INSTALLING HEAD
See Figure 1.
Remove the battery pack from the power base or disconnect from power supply.
Place the head on the power base and push until the latches click into position.
Pull on the head to make sure it is securely installed before proceeding.
NOTE: The head can be installed at 90° angles to best suit your application needs.
WARNING:
The accessory clamp on this tool may create a pinch point hazard, handle
with care. Keep fingers away from accessory clamp when rotating the sliding
lever into the “locked position”.
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
See Figures 2 - 6.
 Remove the battery pack from the power base or disconnect from power supply.
 Pull the sliding lever up until the arrow on the sliding lever is aligned with the arrow
on the housing and then, pull it fully back so that it is resting on the back of the
housing to unlock the accessory clamp.
 Pivot the accessory clamp until it is in line with the clamp shaft.
 Place the desired accessory on the head so that the openings on the accessory fit
on the raised parts of the head. Pivot the accessory clamp until it is perpendicular
to the clamp shaft.
NOTE: Some other brands of accessories will also fit this head without the use of
adaptors. When using these accessories, always follow the instructions for that
accessory, in addition to all instructions for this product.
 An adaptor is provided to allow use of some other brands of accessories with the
power base. When using these accessories, install the adaptor first, then install
the accessory. The adaptor has a different interface pattern on each side for use
with different brands of accessories. Only use the adaptor when using these
accessories.
NOTE: When using other brands of accessories that require the use of an adaptor,
always follow the instructions for these accessories, in addition to all instructions
for this product.
 With the accessory in place, push the sliding lever forward and then down to lock
the accessory clamp in place.
WARNING:
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating tool. They could get
caught in moving parts causing serious injury. Keep head away from tool and
work area. Hair could be drawn into tool causing serious injury.
WARNING:
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator causing injury.
CUTTING
See Figure 7.
 Hold the tool firmly in front of and clearly away from you. Make sure blade is clear
of any foreign material.
 Mark the line of cut clearly.
 Depress the switch trigger to start the cutting action. Allow the blade to reach your
desired speed, then move the blade into the work.
 To cut, keep the teeth of the blade in the work surface and move the back of the
tool slowly in a constant sideways motion.
NOTE: If the writing on the blade looks blurry when in use, you are using the correct
amount of pressure. If they become clear, you are using too much force.
NOTICE:
Do not force. Use only enough pressure to keep the tool cutting. Let the blade
and tool do the work. Use of excessive pressure will cause strong vibrations
to the tool, which may result in broken blades and cause premature wear to
the tool’s motor.
WARNING:
Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach underneath work or around or
over the blade while blade is moving. Do not attempt to remove cut material
when blade is moving.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an extremely important step in
achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other
synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and
garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the
best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will
determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and
sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches
left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
SANDING
See Figure 8.
Hold tool in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start tool and
let the motor build to your desired speed, then gradually lower on the work with a slight
forward movement. Move the tool slowly over workpiece using forward and backward
or side to side strokes. Upon completion of sanding operation, always remove sander
from workpiece before turning it off.
􀀀D n frce The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sandpaper
and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly
wears sandpaper, and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload
the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior
work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat. Do not allow
sanding on one spot too long as sander’s rapid action may remove too much material,
making the surface uneven.
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
WARNING:
This product and some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals, including
lead, known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products and,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
Your risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, work in a well-ventilated
area and with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

AVERTISSEMENT :
Pour réduire les risques de blessure, l’utilisateur doit lire et comprendre le
présent manuel d’utilisation ainsi que le manuel d’utilisation pour la base
pour entraînement et, si applicable, du bloc-piles et du chargeur avant de les
utiliser. S’assurer que la tête et la base pour entraînement sont compatibles
et qu’elles sont installées de la façon appropriée avant de les utiliser.
RÈGLES DE SÉCURITÉ PARTICULIÈRES
 Lorsque l’outil est utilisé pour un travail risquant de le mettre en contact avec
des fils électriques cachés ou son propre cordon d’alimentation, le tenir par
les surfaces de prise isolées. Le fait de couper un fil sous tension « électrifie »
les pièces métalliques exposées de l’outil et pourrait donner l’opérateur de choc
électrique.
 Utiliser des serre-joints ou un autre système approprié pour maintenir
fermement la pièce sur une surface stable. Une pièce tenue à la main ou contre
son corps est instable et peut causer une perte de contrôle.
 Pour réduire le risque d’électrocution ou choc électrique, ne pas toucher les
pièces métalliques exposées de tête polyvalente ou base pour entraînement
pendant le fonctionnement. Consulter le manuel d’utilisation du base afin de
connaître l’emplacement de la main adéquat.
