GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plug must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use an earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) protected supply. Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
SERVICE
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS
a. Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
b. Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with the saw blade can lead to injuries.
c. Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.
d. When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.
e. Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
f. Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are
particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.
g. Avoid unintentional switching on. Ensure the On/Off switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying the power tool with your finger on the On/Off switch or inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
h. Wear protective gloves when changing application tools/accessories. Application tools/accessories become hot after prolonged usage.
i. Do not scrape wetted materials (e.g. wallpaper) or on moist surfaces. Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
j. Do not treat the surface to be worked with solvent-containing fluids. Materials being warmed up by the scraping can cause toxic vapours to develop.
k. Exercise extreme caution when handling the scraper. The accessory is very sharp; danger of injury.
WARNING
DO NOT WORK WITH MATERIALS CONTAINING ASBESTOS (ASBESTOS IS
The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.
ONLY FOR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES
Do not dispose of power tools into household waste!

Securely lock the accessory in place as described previously (Picture 6).
INSTALLING AND REMOVING SANDING SHEETS
Your backing pad uses hook-and-loop backed accessories, which firmly grip the backing pad when applied with moderate pressure.
- Align the sanding sheet and press it onto the sanding plate by hand.
- Firmly press the power tool with the sanding sheet against a flat surface and briefly switch the power tool on. This will promote good adhesion and helps to prevent premature wear.
- To change, merely peel off the old sanding sheet, remove dust from the backing pad if necessary, and press the new sanding sheet in place.
After considerable service the backing pad surface will become worn, and the backing pad must be replaced when it no longer offers a firm grip. If you are experiencing premature wear out of the backing pad facing, decrease the amount of pressure you are applying during operation of the tool.
For maximum use of abrasive, rotate pad 120 degrees when tip of abrasive becomes worn.
DUST EXTRACTION
Your tool can be equipped with a dust port with adaptor for dust extraction (Picture 9). To use this feature, attach the dust port to the tool (A) and attach vacuum cleaner to the adapter (B).
USE
GETTING STARTED
The first step in learning to use the tool is to get the "feel" of it.
Hold it in your hand and feel its weight and balance (Picture 10). Depending on the application, you will need to adjust your hand position to achieve optimum comfort and control.
When holding the tool, do not cover the air vents with your hand.
Blocking the air vents could cause the motor to overheat.
PICTURE 10
IMPORTANT! Practice on scrap material first to see how the tool's high-speed action performs. Keep in mind that your tool will perform best by allowing the speed, along with the correct accessory, do the work for you. Be careful not to apply too much pressure.
Instead, lower the oscillating accessory lightly to the work surface and allow it to touch the point at which you want to begin.
Concentrate on guiding the tool over the work using very little pressure from your hand. Allow the accessory to do the work.
Usually it is better to make a series of passes with the tool rather than to do the entire job with one pass. To make a cut, for example, pass the tool back and forth over the work. Cut a little material on each pass until you reach the desired depth.
Slide "ON/OFF" switch
The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch located on the topside of the motor housing (Picture 1 & 2).
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON", slide the switch button forward.
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF", slide the switch button backward.
Variable speed control dial
This tool is equipped with a variable speed control dial (Picture 11). The speed may be controlled during operation by presetting the dial in any one of ten positions.
To achieve the best results when working with different materials, set the variable speed control to suit the job (See Speed Chart). To select the right speed for the accessory in use, practice with scrap material first.

Operating Principle
Due to the oscillating drive the application tool/accessory swings up to 21000 times per minute for 3.0^ . This allows for precise work in narrow spaces.
Sawing
- Use undamaged faultless saw blades only. Deformed, blunt saw blades or saw blades that are otherwise damaged can break.
- When sawing light building materials, observe the statutory provisions and the recommendations of the material suppliers.
- Plunge cuts may only be applied to soft materials, such as wood, gypsum plaster boards, etc.!
Before sawing with HCS saw blades in wood, particle board, building materials, etc., check these for foreign objects such as nails, screws, or similar. If required, remove foreign objects or use BIM saw blades.
Separating
Note: When separating wall tiles take into consideration that the application tools/accessories wear heavily when used for longer periods of time.
Scraping
For scraping, select a high oscillation rate.
Work on a soft surface (e.g. wood) at a flat ange, and apply only light pressure. Otherwise the scraper can cut into the surface.
MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wiring and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Dremel Service Facility.
