7. Disconnect the Battery Charger from the power supply and store in a clean, dry

environment out of the reach of children

• Normal battery charging time is approximately 1 hour for a recently fully discharged battery

at normal temperature. Charging times will vary outside these conditions

• The Battery does not need to be fully discharged before recharging but a fully charged

Battery must not be charged

• You can interrupt charging at any point to use the Battery. Under normal conditions the

Battery Charger charges at a higher rate but reduces the charging rate as the Battery

becomes fully charged. An 80% charge is achieved after 1/2hr of charging

3.0Ah High Capacity Battery (optional accessory)

• A high capacity battery is available that provides double the capacity. It also allows the tool

to stand vertically which may be advantageous for some uses. Please note the full charging

time will be approximately 2 hours for the high capacity battery

Note: If the lights on the Battery Charger fail to illuminate according to the chart above or

indicate a fault condition:

• Check the Battery is ﬁrmly seated in the Battery Charger

• Check all connections and that mains power is switched on

Initial charge

• The initial charge will vary depending on the existing charge in the Battery. Allow the

Battery to reach full charge as indicated on the Battery Charger

• After discharging, recharge the Battery completely, as indicated by the LED on the Battery

Charger, for the next 4 to 5 uses. This will ensure that the Battery is performing to its

highest capacity

• Subsequent full charges will take approximately 1 hour. However, the Battery can be

recharged when the Battery is only partially discharged

Re-charging the battery

• After use, a li-ion battery must be allowed to cool down before charging

• If a hot battery is inserted into the charger both LEDs will illuminate. The charger will begin

to charge when the battery has cooled sufﬁciently (this may take several minutes)

Installing the battery

• The Battery should ﬁt easily into the Battery Charger. If the Battery is difﬁcult to ﬁt, check

the condition of the Battery and contacts

Battery - length of service

• The length of service from each charging cycle will depend on the type of workload. The

Battery Charger and Battery for this tool have been designed to provide a long trouble-free

working life. The Battery Charger intelligently monitors the condition of the Battery and

selects the ideal charging rate for the condition of the Battery. It protects the Battery from

over-charging or charging at too high a rate. However, like all batteries, performance will

be reduced over time

To maximise battery life:

• Store and charge the Battery in a cool area. Temperatures above or below normal room

temperature will reduce battery life

• Never store li-ion batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge them immediately after they

are discharged. For storing long term, store fully charged

• All batteries gradually lose their charge, even li-ion batteries, but the discharge rate is very

low. If the tool is stored for long periods of time without use, recharge the battery every

three to four months and disconnect the battery from the power tool before it is stored. This

practice will prevent the li-ion battery being damaged when stored

Fitting accessories

Fitting a blade or scraper

WARNING: Always wear suitable gloves when handling sharp blades>

1. Remove the Battery if ﬁtted

2. Use the supplied Blade Hex Key (15) to loosen and remove the Blade Bolt (14) and Blade

Washer (13), turning the Blade Bolt anti-clockwise as you face the bolt head as shown in

image A

3. Position the blade or scraper on to the Blade Mounting (9) so that the mounting holes in the

blade engage with the pins on the Blade Mounting. See image B

4. The blade or scraper can be positioned at an angle not directly in line with the tool if

required, so long as the blade or scraper mounting holes are engaged with the pins on the

Blade Mounting

5. Re-ﬁt the Blade Bolt and Blade Washer as shown in image B carefully ensuring the blade

or scraper correctly sits in the Blade Mounting pins as the bolt is tightened. The blade or

scraper and Blade Mounting can be damaged if the pins are not inserted into the Blade

Mounting holes

6. Check that the blade or scraper is securely ﬁtted and the bolt is tight before reﬁtting the

Battery

Note: Blades or scrapers that are cranked or bent must be mounted on the tool so that the end

of the blade is away from the tool as shown in image B

Fitting the sanding pad and paper

1. Remove the Battery if ﬁtted

2. Use the supplied Blade Hex Key (15) to loosen and remove the Blade Bolt (14) and Blade

Washer (13) turning the Blade Bolt anti-clockwise as you face the bolt head as shown in

image A

3. Mount the sanding pad (17) onto the Blade Mounting (9) so that the mounting holes in the

sanding pad engage with the pins on the Blade Mounting. See image C

4. The sanding pad can be positioned at an angle if required but normally a point of the

triangle base is directly in line with the body of the tool

5. Re-ﬁt the Blade Bolt and Blade Washer as shown in image C carefully ensuring the sanding

pad correctly sits in the Blade Mounting pins as you tighten the bolt. The sanding pad and

Blade Mounting can be damaged if the pins are not inserted into the Blade Mounting holes

6. Before using the tool, Check that the sanding pad is securely ﬁtted and the bolt is tight

7. Select the required sanding sheet for your intended task. Each sheet is marked with its grit

level on the reverse side. A lower grit number means that the sanding sheet has a coarser

grit and so is more abrasive

8. The sanding pad and sanding sheets use a hook and loop system for attachment. To mount

the sheet carefully line up one corner of the sheet with a corner of the sanding pad and

gradually allow the rest of the sheet to contact the pad checking alignment as you do so

until the sheet is ﬁtted correctly. See image D

9. Reﬁt battery

Operation

Built-In Safety Features

IMPORTANT: The oscillating multi-tool has 3 important safety features which will prevent the

tool from operating under certain circumstances.

1. Cell Protection: If the battery charge is very low the tool will stop operating to prevent the

battery being fully discharged which will damage li-ion batteries

2. Over Heat Protection: If the battery or tool temperature is too high the tool will switch off to

prevent damage to the battery pack and tool

3. Over Current Protection: If excessive current is being drawn from the battery then the tool

will switch off to prevent damage to the battery pack and tool

It is recommended to swap batteries before the current battery is fully discharged to prevent

the tool from powering down in use. Allow the tool to cool between uses to prevent it getting

too hot and do not apply force when operating the tool but let the blade or sanding base do the

work. This should reduce the possibility of the tool powering down as you operate it.

Note: The tool may take up to 30 minutes to reset before it operates again if over-heat

protection has operated and up to a minute if over current protection has operated.

Switching on and off

Note: Gloves should be worn when operating this tool. Anti-vibration gloves are recommended

to protect users from the vibration level of the oscillating mechanism.

1. Hold the tool ﬁrmly as shown in Fig. E with the thumb over the On/Off Switch (1) as shown

in image E

2. Slide the On/Off Switch forward to switch on the tool

3. Adjust the speed using the Variable Speed Control (3). It is a fully variable control but six

speed settings are printed on the wheel for the operator’s reference

4. Operate the tool as required

WARNING: Do not operate the tool at maximum speed for extended periods.

Notes:

• Allow the tool to reach the required speed before making contact with the workpiece

• Always remove the tool from the workpiece when changing speed

• After use slide the On/Off Switch back to turn off the tool

• It is good practice to set the Variable Speed Control to the minimum level after use

• A high speed setting is required for most cutting and sanding operations

• A low speed setting may be required for polishing and careful detail sanding with a high

grit sanding sheet

WARNING: Motor Vents (2) allow heat generated from the motor to escape the body of

the tool and must not become blocked. Dust, wood chippings and swarf can block the Motor

Vents and cause the tool to shut down when the over-temperature protection operates. Swarf,

created when cutting metal, can also cause permanent damage if it enters the tool. Do not
