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.
PROLONGED USE. Prolonged use of
multi-tool can result in nerve damage from
vibration. Wear protective gloves and take
breaks using multi-tool.
