EQUIPMEnT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious  
personal injury.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
WORK AREA SAFETY:  
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and 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 bystanders, children, and visitors 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 in any earthed  
(grounded) power tools. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a  
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to  
install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and  
grounded power supply system.  
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the 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 grounded.  
• 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 cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
• When operating a power tool outside, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. These cords are  
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.  
• Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to work. The electrical components  
of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and rate a hazard to the operator.  
PERSONAL SAFETY  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while 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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing  
protection for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,  
jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should be avoided.  
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tool with your finger on the  
switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.  
• Remove any adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on. A wrench or key that is left  
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.  
• Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance can cause an injury in an unexpected situation.  
• If devices are provided for connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are  
connected and properly used. use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.  
• Do not use a ladder or unstable support. Stable footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in unexpected  
situations.  
• Keep tool handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles cannot safely control the tool.  
TOOL USE AND CARE  
Secure the work piece. use clamp or other practical way to hold the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand  
or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

• Do not force the power tool. The tool will perform the job better and safer at the feed rate for which it is designed. Forcing the tool  
could possibly damage the tool and may result in personal injury.  
• Use the correct power tool for the job. Don’t force the tool or attachment to do a job for which it is not designed.  
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and  
must be repaired or replaced by an authorized service center.  
Turn power tool off, and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or battery pack from the power tool before making  
any adjustments, changing the accessories, or storing the tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of an accidental start up  
which may cause personal injury.  
• Store idle tool out of reach of children and other inexperienced persons. It is dangerous in the hand of untrained  
users.  
• Maintain power tools with care. Check for proper alignment and binding of moving parts, component breaks, and any other  
conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. A guard or any other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an  
authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.  
• Use recommended accessories. using accessories and attachments not recommended by the manufacturer or intended for  
use on this type tool may cause damage to the tool or result in personal injury to the user. Consult the operator’s manual for recommended  
accessories.  
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are  
easier to control.  
• Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface  
against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work  
piece to be thrown out at high speed.  
• Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop.  
• Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work piece.

EXTEnSIOn COrDS  
grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.  
As the distance from the power supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. using extension cords with inadequately sized  
wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. Refer to the table shown below to determine the required  
minimum wire size.  
The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example: a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16-  
gauge cord. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, be sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.  
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum wire size.  
guidelines for Using Extension Cords  
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, be sure it is marked with the suffix “W-A” (“W” in Canada) to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.  
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a  
qualified person before using it.  
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

APPLICATIOnS  
nOTE: This tool must be used only with gEnESIS oscillating tool accessories. See Accessories Chart for details.  
This multi-purpose oscillating tool is intended for cutting and sanding wood, plastic, plaster and non-ferrous metals. It is especially suitable for  
cutting in tight spaces and for flush cutting. Following are a few typical uses.  
Cutting:  
use a flush cutting saw blade (or “e-cut blade”) for making precise cuts in tight areas, close to edges or flush to a surface. It is important not  
to force the tool during the flush cutting. If you are experiencing a strong vibration in your hand during the plunge cut, it indicates too much  
pressure on the tool. Back off on the pressure and let the speed of tool do the work. See FIG 3, FIG 4 for typical uses of flush cutting saw blade.  
nOTE: It is suggested that you have a piece of scrap material supporting the blade when making a flush cut.  
If you need to rest the blade on a delicate surface, you need to use cardboard or masking tape to protect the  
surface.  
FIG 3  
FIG 4  
FIG 5  
use the half-round flat saw blade (5) for making precise cuts in wood, plaster or drywall material. Applications include cutting openings for  
electrical boxes, repairing flooring, cutting flooring for venting, and more. See FIG 5 for use of flat saw blade.  
Sanding  
With sanding accessories, this tool is a detail sander. It is suitable for dry sanding of wood, plastic, and metal surfaces, especially in corners,  
edges and hard to reach areas. See FIG 6  
Tips:  
1. Work with the complete surface of the sandpaper, not only with the tip.  
2. Sand with continuous motion and light pressure. Do not apply excessive pressure. Let tool do the work.  
3. Always secure small work pieces.  
4. Select suitable abrasive paper for best results.  
FIG 6  
Scraping  
Scraper blades are suitable for removing vinyl, varnish, paint layers, carpeting, caulk and other adhesives.  
use a rigid scraper blade to remove harder materials, such as vinyl flooring, carpeting and tile adhesives in large area.  
use a flexible scraper blade (not included) to remove softer material such as caulk. See FIG 7  
Tips:  
1. When removing strong, tacky adhesive, grease the scraper blade surface to reduce gumming up.  
2. Begin with light pressure. The oscillating motion of accessory only occurs when pressure is applied  
to the material to be removed.  
3. If you are removing caulk from a delicate surface, such as a bath tub or tile back splash, we  
recommend taping to protect the surface that blade will rest on.  
FIG 7  
grout removal  
use a grout removal blade (not included) to remove damaged or cracked grout, or in order to replace  
a damaged or broken tile.  
To remove the grout, use a back and forth motion, making several passes along the grout line. Be  
careful not to apply too much side pressure on the grout blade. See FIG 8

CLEANING  
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be  
damaged by their use. use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.  
WArnIng: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come  
in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal  
injury.  
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure  
because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using  
this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool  
using compressed air.
