Application Advice; Maintenance & Service; Noise / Vibration - Skil 7380 Original Instructions Manual

• On/off switch
- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch A 2 forward/
backwards
! before the sanding surface reaches the
workpiece, you should switch on the tool
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
• Speed control
For optimal sanding results on different materials
- with wheel B 2 you can set the desired sanding
speed
- adjust speed to grit size used
- before starting a job, find the optimal speed and grit by
testing out on spare material
• Holding and guiding the tool 8
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- guide the tool parallel to the working surface
! do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let
the sanding surface do the work for you
- do not tilt the tool in order to avoid unwanted sanding
marks
- keep ventilation slots E 2 uncovered
• Sanding
- the amount of material removed is determined by the
selection of the sanding sheet and the applied
pressure
! intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to
increased wear of the tool and the sanding sheet
! never use the same sanding sheet for wood and
metal

APPLICATION ADVICE

• Move the tool in straight movements in line with the grain
- for sanding bare wood surfaces
- for extra fine finishing
• Recommended sanding sheet grits:
- for removing paint and for sanding of extremely rough
wood use coarse grit sizes (40, 60)
- for sanding of rough or plain wood use medium grit
sizes (80, 100, 120)
- for smoothing of wood and surfaces with old paint as
well as for finishing of bare wood use fine grit sizes
(180, 240, 320)
! always test out first on a piece of scrap material
• Use different grit sizes when the working surface is
rough:
- start sanding with coarse or medium grit
- finish with fine grit

NOISE / VIBRATION

• Measured in accordance with EN 62841 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 84 dB(A) and the sound power
level 95 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the vibration
9.1 m/s² (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841; it
may be used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different
or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may significantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration
by maintaining the tool and its accessories,
keeping your hands warm, and organizing your
work patterns
