Application Advice; Noise / Vibration; Maintenance & Service - Skil 7445 Original Instructions Manual

• Dust level indicator 8
- empty dust box D when indicator G turns RED
- indicator G only functions when tool is switched on
- be aware that the working of the dust level indicator is
not guaranteed when sanding at lower speed settings
(7455)
• On/off switch
- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch H 2 forward/
backwards
! before the sanding surface reaches the workpiece,
you should switch on the tool
! be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is
switched on
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it from
the workpiece
• Speed control 9 (7455)
For optimal sanding results on different materials
- with wheel J 2 you can set the desired sanding speed
- always 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 q
! while working, always hold the tool at the grey-
coloured grip area(s)
- guide the tool parallel to the working surface and move
it in circles or in a cross pattern
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the tool
do the work for you
- do not tilt the tool in order to avoid unwanted sanding
marks
- keep ventilation slots K 2 uncovered
• Sanding
- the amount of material removed is determined by the
selection of the sanding sheet, the preselected sanding
speed 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

• For determining the optimal grit (and speed), table w can
be used as reference
! always test out first on a piece of scrap material

NOISE / VIBRATION

• Measured in accordance with EN 62841 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 82 dB(A) and the sound
power level 93 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and
the vibration 7.8 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
