SAFETY SYMBOLS
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible dangers. The safety symbols and the explanations with them deserve your careful attention and understanding. The symbol warnings do not, by themselves, eliminate any danger. The instructions and warnings they give are no substitutes for proper accident prevention measures.
WARNING Be sure to read and understand all safety instructions in this Owner’s Manual, including all safety alert symbols such as “DANGER,” “WARNING,” and “CAUTION” before using this tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- 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.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical safety
- Power tool plugs 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.
- 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.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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 orentangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- 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.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
- 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.
- Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
- 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 energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
- 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.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dustrelated hazards.
- Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
- 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.
- 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.
- Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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.
- 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.
- Maintain power tools and accessories.
- Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- 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.
- Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Battery tool use and care
- 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.
- Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
- 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.
- 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.
- Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
- Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130 °C may cause explosion.
- Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
Service
- 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.
- Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR MULTI TOOL
- Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” could give the operator an electric shock.
- Take protective measures when dust can develop during working that is harmful to one’s health, combustible or explosive.
- Example: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extraction when connectable.
- Use the machine only for dry sanding.
- Penetration of water into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
- Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.
- Wear protective gloves when changing cutting tools. Cutting tools become hot after prolonged usage.

- WARNING Do not attach the accessories in such a way that they face backward. Operation in this position may cause serious injury.
- FLEX Multi Tool is designed to tackle a variety of tasks. A range of available accessories easily turn the tool into a saw or into a sander, into a scraper or a grout remover.
- NOTE: Not all accessories are included with your tool and should be purchased separately. Accessories with STARLOCK, Starlock Plus, Starlock MAX interface from other manufacturers should be compatible with this tool.
CUTTING
- The plunge saw blades are ideal for making precise cuts in tight areas, close to edges or flush to a surface. Set the tool to a medium speed (3) for greater control when making the initial plunge. After making the initial cut, the speed can be increased for faster cutting.
- When flush cutting, do not force the tool.
- A strong vibration during the plunge cut is an indicator that you are applying too much pressure – let the speed of the tool do the work.
GROUT REMOVAL
- Before starting, measure the grout line width to pick the appropriate blade. Set the tool to a medium to high speed (3 – 5). To remove the grout, use a back-and-forth motion, making several passes along the grout line. Do your best to keep the grout blade aligned with the grout line and do not apply too much side pressure on the grout blade during the process.
- Use the carbide grit line on the blade as an indicator to monitor the plunge depth. Do not plunge beyond the carbide grit line to avoid damage to the backer board.
SCRAPING
- Set the tool to a low to medium speed (1 – 3).
- Turn the tool on and place the scraper on the area where material is to be removed. Begin with light pressure. Excessive pressure can damage the background surface.
SANDING
- After turning the tool on, allow it to reach its full speed before contacting the workpiece with the tool and remove it from the workpiece before switching the tool off.
- Sand with a continuous motion and light pressure. Do not apply excessive pressure – let the speed of the tool do the work. Work with the complete surface of the sanding pad, not only with the tip. The sanding pad should occasionally be rotated to distribute the wear on the sanding sheet and backing pad surface.
USING ATTACHMENTS
- WARNING Detach the battery pack from the tool before performing any assembly, adjustments, or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
- Your tool is shipped with the attachment collar that accepts the depth gauge or the edge guide. To install the attachment collar, follow instructions in the chapter “INSTALLING AND REMOVING THE ATTACHMENT COLLAR” earlier in this manual.
DEPTH GAUGE (FIG. 13)
- The depth gauge allows you to control the depth of the plunge cuts. This is especially helpful when plunge cutting an opening in drywall where you don’t want to accidentally damage objects or surfaces behind the drywall.
To use the depth gauge:
- a. Insert it into the attachment collar and set the distance “X” between the tip of the plunge blade and the tip of the depth gauge.
- b. If the blade is installed at an angle, loosen the collar locking bolt and rotate the collar around the neck of the tool until the depth gauge is parallel to the blade. Tighten the collar locking bolt.
- c. The bent tip of the depth gauge can be positioned either above the blade or to the side based on your preference and situation.
- d. Tighten the locking knob. This will be your depth of cut.
EDGE GUIDE (FIG. 14 & 15)
The edge guide is used to make thru cuts parallel to a straight edge or a piece of plywood temporarily secured to the workpiece with screws or clamps. Make sure that the clamps do not interfere with the free movement of the tool throughout the entire length of the cut.
To use the edge guide:
- a. Insert it into the attachment collar and position it at an angle to the blade (Fig. 14).
- b. Loosen the collar locking bolt and rotate the collar around the neck to make sure that blade is fully engaged into the workpiece throughout the complete stroke (oscillation) of the blade. If either edge of the blade travels outside of the workpiece, the tool may jump causing loss of control and damage to the workpiece. Tighten the collar locking bolt (Fig. 14).
- c. Press the right edge of the edge guide against the straight edge and start the tool. Continue cutting along the straight edge (Fig. 14).
The edge guide can also function as the depth gauge when using a segment blade (not included with the tool).
- a. With the segment blade installed, move the edge guide do desired distance “X” away from the tips of the segment blade teeth (Fig. 15).
- b. Tighten the locking knob (Fig. 15).
