safety goggles or glasses to improve your view instead increase the level of lighting or
move the lighting so it specifically illuminates the work area correctly.
n) DO NOT operate the power tool near flammable materials. Be especially careful when
cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires.
o) Battery chargers are for indoors use only. Ensure that the power supply and charger are
protected against moisture at all times.
p) NEVER start the power tool while the blade or accessory is in contact with the
workpiece, and always allow the power tool to reach its full speed before making
contact with the workpiece. Use the variable speed control of the tool (if fitted) to start the
tool at the correct speed for the accessory or blade fitted.
q) DO NOT exert additional pressure on the body of the tool: allow the blade or
accessory to do the work. By not exerting additional pressure you maintain a safer
stronger grip on the power tool when it breaks through the material, as well as
reducing wear on the power tool which will extend the power tool's service life.
Additional pressure may also bend or twist the accessory or blade which may cause
it to break and cause injury. If the power tool allows for being held with one or two
hands hold with two hands whenever possible. ALWAYS exercise caution when
handling this power tool.
r) Sawing, cutting and abrasive actions create heat. This may affect the workpiece and
power tool. ALWAYS monitor the heat level and in the event of excessive heat switch off the
power tool and allow to cool before restarting work. Some power tools depending on design
may be more quickly and effectively cooled by running at high speed without load.
s) The power tool will draw in dust through the vents on its body. Excessive accumulation
of powdered metal may cause an electrical hazard and destroy the tool. ALWAYS ensure the
environment dust level is safe for the tool and ensure the vents are not blocked.
t) For mains-operated power tools, ensure the cable of the power tool is ALWAYS kept
behind the tool and never close to where the accessory or blade is operating.
u) DO NOT reach under the workpiece, rest the workpiece on your body, or hold the
workpiece while working on it, as contact with the blade or accessory protruding
from the workpiece can result in serious injury.
v) Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating power tools that produce large
amount of vibration, especially during long-term use.
w) For power tools with a rotating mechanism and accessories ensure the operator is
not wearing clothes or gloves with frayed threads, cords etc. that could be entangled
in the rotating mechanism dragging the operator's hand into the rotating accessory
causing injury. ALWAYS wear tight fitting work clothes, safety shoes. Remove jewellery
and secure long hair. NEVER wear fabric-based gloves that can produce strands of material
when operating this type of power tool.
x) DO NOT allow sanding sheets to wear away on the sanding pad. This will damage the
surface of the pad requiring replacement and may cause parts of the sanding sheet to fly
off the pad, causing operator injury.
y) DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet.
z) Wire brush bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. DO NOT
overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and skin.

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing
or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power
supply before fitting or removing the Dust Extraction Collar or accessories.
WARNING: Always wear suitable gloves when handling blades or other sharp accessories.
WARNING: Accessories and tool may become hot during use. Always allow to cool before
removing or changing accessories.
Fitting the Dust Extraction Collar
Note: This Keyless Oscillating Multi-Tool is designed to be connected to a household vacuum
cleaner hose or workshop dust extraction system. This is the preferred and most effective
method of dust extraction.
WARNING: ALWAYS connect the Keyless Multi-Tool to a suitable vacuum cleaner or
workshop dust extraction system if the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such
as particles from old paint, varnish, surface coatings, etc. ALWAYS dispose of harmful dust
according to laws and regulations.
1. Ensure the tab on the Dust Extraction Collar (2) aligns with the notch on the head of the
multi-tool, with the Dust Extraction Port (3) facing up (Fig. I)
2. With the tab and notch aligned, place the Dust Extraction Collar over the Flange (12) and
onto the head of the multi-tool (Fig. I)
3. Turn the dust post on the Dust Extraction Collar to the desired side, left or right, of the multi-
tool (Fig. II)
4. Locate one of the fixing holes on the Dust Extraction Collar and align it with one of the Dust
Collar Threaded Holes (13) (Fig. II)
5. Insert the Locking Knob (14) into the Dust Collar Threaded Hole and tighten to fasten the
Dust Extraction Collar (Fig. II)
Note: The installation of the collar must be completed without an accessory installed on the
multi-tool (see 'Fitting a blade or scraper' or 'Fitting the sanding pad & sanding sheets').
Note: The Dust Extraction Port is designed to fit a standard 32mm diameter hose. When
working in confined spaces, the Dust Extraction Port can be removed.
Fitting or removing the Dust Extraction Port
• Once the Dust Extraction Collar (2) is fitted to the multi-tool, the Dust Extraction Port (3) can
be easily removed or installed
• To remove, pull the Dust Extraction Port away from the Dust Extraction Collar
• To install, push the push the Dust Extraction Port onto the Dust Extraction Collar, ensuring
the hole is facing up
Fitting a vacuum hose
Note: The vacuum and hose is not supplied.
1. Push a compatible size vacuum or dust extraction system hose onto the Dust Extraction
Port (3)
2. If working in a confined space with no room for dust extraction, the Dust Extraction Port can
be removed while still attached to the hose, and will be ready for quick reattachment
Fitting a blade or scraper
1. Lift the Keyless Change Lever (4) and push forward (Fig. III) then loosen the Flange (12) by
rotating the lever anti-clockwise (Fig. IV). Rotating the Keyless Change Lever in a clockwise
direction will tighten the flange (Fig. IV)
Notes:
• If the accessory is open ended, the Flange can be loosened partially to fit the accessory
(Fig. V)
• If the accessory has a closed end, the Flange will need to be loosened and removed from
the multi-tool to fit the accessory (Fig. V) before re-inserting the Flange. A small amount of
finger pressure on the Flange is necessary when first tightening
• Always ensure the blade is the correctly installed with the curve facing down away from the
multi-tool (Fig. VI)
2. Align the accessory holes with the buttons on the Flange (Fig. VII no. 1&2), hold the
accessory on the head (Fig. VIII), ensuring the buttons are aligned, and rotate the Keyless
Change Lever clockwise to tighten the Flange (Fig. IV)
Note: The blade/accessory can be aligned with the buttons at the desired angle before
tightening the flange (Fig. VII no. 3).
3. Close the lever down to the lock position on the multi-tool (Fig. IX)
IMPORTANT: Ensure the locking tabs are facing the correct way when locking the lever. If
after tightening the flange the tabs are facing the wrong way (Fig. X), move the lever to the
middle position, then rotate the lever vertically until the tabs are facing the locking slots on
the multi-tool (Fig. X).
4. To remove the blade/accessory, repeat steps 1–3 and remove the blade or scraper during
step 2 (Fig. VII no. 1)
