Additional Safety for Oscillating Tools

EYE PROTECTION. Sanding/cutting causes small particles to become air- borne at a high rate of speed. AlWAyS wear safety glasses when using this tool.

CRacKED Accessories. Cracked tooling accessories may break and fly apart during operation or cause kickback. Inspect for damage before each use. Do not use damaged tooling accessories.

HANd/Tool CONTACT. Oscillating tools have the capability of cutting or removing a lot of skin fast. Always maintain a firm grip on the tool. Wear close fitting work gloves whenever possible to avoid injury.

Lung PROTECTION. Sanding/cutting produces hazardous dust, which may cause long-term respiratory problems if inhaled. Always wear a NioSH approved dust mask or respirator when sanding or cutting.

Hidden PIPPING. Use a metal detector check for hidden gas and water lines prior to cutting into blind workspace such as walls or columns. Cutting into gas lines may cause explosion. Cutting into water lines may result in electrocution.

Insulated GRIPS. Use insulated grip surfaces while operating oscillating tool to prevent shock or electrocution in case of contact with an electrical wire.

Hand PROTECTION. Wear gloves while operating multi-tool and changing acces- sories to protect against burning or cut- ting.

Spindle FLANGE. Always use the included mounting washer with the machine when mounting accessory tools. Other washers may not properly secure accessories and cause an accident.

Fire/EXPlosion HAZARD. Cutters/ scrapers are capable of creating sparks, which can ignite flammable materials. Keep clear of flammable materials when using accessory tools.

Tool STABILITY. Hold tool with both hands, and stabilize yourself against a fixed object. Using one hand without sup- port increases risk of the tool grabbing workpiece and causing loss of grip, lead- ing to serious personal injury.

RIsK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Cutting into walls or workpieces with hidden wiring can result in shock or electrocution. Use a metal detector check for hidden gas and water lines prior to cutting into blind work- space such as walls or columns.

WEt SANDING. Never wet sand with this multi-tool. Wet sanding with this multi-tool could result in electrocution.

OBstructions. Check for obstruc- tions such as nails or screws in scraping or cutting path. Obstructions can cause kickback resulting in injury or damage to workpiece.
