Charging the battery
WARNING: Failure to follow the correct procedure when charging batteries will result in
permanent damage.
Note: Normal charging time is 3 hour for a recently discharged battery. However, if the
Battery (8) has been left in a discharged state for some time, it may take up to 5 hours
to charge.
1. Slide a fully or partially discharged Battery into the Battery Charger (12)
Note: Make sure the Battery and Battery Charger are lined up correctly. If the Battery
does not slide into the Battery Charger easily, don't force it. Instead, remove the Battery,
check the top of Battery and the Battery Charger slot are clean and undamaged and that
the contacts are not bent.
2. Once charging commences, the Green and Red LEDs will illuminate
3. When the Battery is fully charged only the Green LED will be illuminated
Notes about battery charging:
• The battery should be charged at ambient temperatures between 10 and 40°C (ideally
around 20°C)
• After charging, allow 15 minutes for the battery to cool before use
• Ensure that the charger is disconnected from the mains supply after use, and is stored
correctly
• DO NOT leave batteries on charge for extended periods and NEVER store batteries
on charge
• The Battery Charger monitors battery temperature and voltage while charging. Remove
the Battery once charging has been completed to maximise charge cycles of the battery
and not waste power
• Batteries can become faulty over time, individual cells in the battery can fail and the
battery could short. The charger will not charge faulty batteries. Use another battery,
if possible, to check correct functionality of the charger and purchase a replacement
battery if a faulty battery is indicated
• DO NOT store Lithium-Ion battery packs in a discharged state long term. This can
damage the Lithium-Ion cells. For long-term storage, store batteries in a high charge
state disconnected from the power tool
• The capacity of batteries will reduce over time. After 100 charge cycles, the battery's
operation time and the maximum torque performance of the drill will slightly reduce.
This decline will continue until the battery has minimal capacity after 500 charge cycles.
This is normal and not a fault with the battery pack
Fitting a blade or scraper
1. Use the supplied hex key to loosen and remove the Mounting Bolt (11) and Mounting
Washer (10), turning the bolt anti-clockwise as you face the Mounting Spindle (9)
(see Fig. A)
2. Position the blade or scraper on to the flange of the Mounting Spindle, so that the
mounting holes in the blade engage with the pins on the flange (see Fig. B)
3. 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 mounting flange
4. Re-fit the Mounting Bolt and Mounting Washer carefully, as shown in Fig. B, ensuring
the blade or scraper correctly sits in the flange pins as the bolt is tightened. The
blade or scraper and Mounting Spindle can be damaged if the pins are not inserted
into the blade mounting holes
5. Before using the tool, check that the blade or scraper is securely fitted and the bolt
is tight
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 Fig. B.
Fitting the sanding pad and sanding sheets
1. Use the supplied hex key to loosen and remove the Mounting Bolt (11) and
Mounting Washer (10), turning the bolt anti-clockwise as you face the Mounting
Spindle (9) (see Fig. A)
2. Position the supplied sanding pad on to the flange of the Mounting Spindle, so that
the mounting holes in the Sanding Pad (16) engage with the pins on the flange (see
Fig. C)
3. 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
4. Re-fit the Mounting Bolt and Mounting Washer carefully, as shown in Fig. B,
ensuring the Sanding Pad correctly sits in the flange pins, as the bolt is tightened.
The sanding pad and Mounting Spindle can be damaged if the pins are not inserted
into the mounting holes in the sanding pad
5. Before using the tool, check that the Sanding Pad is securely fitted and the bolt
is tight
6. Select the required sanding sheet for your intended task (see 'Selecting the right
grade of sanding sheet' below)
7. 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 push the rest of the sheet on to the pad, checking
alignment as you do so, until the sheet is fitted correctly (see Fig. D)
10.8V Oscillating Multi-Tool
Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet
• Sanding sheets are available in a variety of different grades: coarse (60 grit), medium
(120 grit) and fine (240 grit)
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work, and
fine grit to finish off
• Always use good quality sanding sheets to maximise the quality of the finished task
• It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum
grades of sandpaper for a particular job. If there are still marks on your work after
sanding, try either going back to a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before
recommencing with the original choice of grit, or try using a new piece of sandpaper to
eliminate the unwanted marks before going on to a finer grit and finishing the job
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear adequate personal protection equipment, including eye, hearing
and respiratory protection, when working with this tool.
WARNING: Anti-vibration gloves should be worn when operating this tool, to protect users
from the effects of vibration produced by the tool.
WARNING: DO NOT inhale dust. Wear adequate breathing protection. Some dusts may be
toxic especially from man-made composite materials.
Switching on and off
1. Hold the tool firmly by the Hand Grip (5), with the thumb over the On/Off Switch (3)
2. Slide the On/Off Switch forward until it locks, to switch the tool on
3. Slide the On/Off Switch back, to switch the tool off
WARNING: Allow the tool to reach the required speed before making contact with the
workpiece.
WARNING: Motor vents 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. Swarf, created when cutting metal, can also cause
permanent damage if it enters the tool. Do not allow dust, wood chippings and swarf to
build up. Use a vacuum cleaner to keep the work space clean, especially in confined areas,
and when working with harmful substances.
WARNING: If the power tool gets excessively hot in use, stop using the tool immediately
and allow to cool before continuing work. The cooling period can be reduced by operating
the Multi-Tool at maximum speed with no load. Always make sure the Motor Vents (8) are
not blocked and do not allow dust to enter the body of the tool through the Motor Vents;
dust, especially metallic dust, may damage or destroy the tool.
Adjusting the tool speed
• The oscillating speed of this multi-tool can be adjusted over the Variable Speed Dial (4)
1. Turn the Variable Speed Dial to a higher setting, to increase tool speed
2. Turn the Variable Speed Dial to a lower setting, to decrease tool speed
Note: Adjust tool speed to best suit the work carried out, and to adapt to material
requirements. Also refer to the accessory manufacturer's instructions, with regards to tool
speed selection.
Sawing
• Ensure the saw blade is sharp and in good condition
• Do not use saw blades that are damaged or deformed in any way
• When sawing light building materials, follow the recommendations of the material
suppliers
• Apply plunge cuts to soft materials ONLY, for example wood, plasterboard etc.
• If using saw blades not designed for cutting metal, ensure there are no nails or screws
embedded in the workpiece. If necessary, remove embedded objects or use metal
cutting saw blades instead
Sanding
• The removal rate and the sanding pattern are determined by the type of sanding sheet,
the preset oscillation rate and the applied pressure
• Pay particular attention to applying uniform sanding pressure; this increases the
working life of the sanding sheets
• Intensifying the sanding pressure will not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity,
but to increased wear of the machine and premature wear of the sanding sheet
• For precise on-the-spot sanding of edges, corners and hard-to-reach areas, it is also
possible to work only with the tip or an edge of the sanding plate
• A sanding sheet that has been used for sanding metal should not be used for sanding
other materials
• Regularly brush down or vacuum the surface being sanded to ensure the sanding sheet
is in direct contact with the surface
Scraping
• For scraping, select a high speed setting
• On soft surfaces (e.g. wood), work at a flat angle and apply only light pressure so that
the scraper does not cut into the surface
