ACCESSORIES
• For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
• Never use reducors or adaptors to fit large-hole
grinding/cutting discs
• Never use accessories with a "blind" threaded hole
smaller than M14 x 21 mm
OUTDOOR USE
• Connect the tool via a fault current (FI) circuit breaker
with a triggering current of 30 mA maximum
BEFORE USE
• Before using the tool for the first time, it is
recommended to receive practical information
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools
with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to
a 220V supply)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work
with a dust extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such
as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and
work with a dust extraction device when connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Be careful when cutting grooves, especially in
supporting walls (slots in supporting walls are subject to
country-specific regulations; these regulations are to be
observed under all circumstances)
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• Do not clamp the tool in a vice
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with
a capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
DURING USE
• Inrush currents cause short-time voltage drops; under
unfavourable power supply conditions, other equipment
may be affected (if the system impedance of the power
supply is lower than 0,104 + j0,065 Ohm, disturbances
are unlikely to occur); if you need further clarification,
you may contact your local power supply authority
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• In case of current interruption or when the plug is
accidentally pulled out, unlock the on/off switch E 2
immediately in order to prevent uncontrolled restarting
AFTER USE
• After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of
the accessory by a lateral force applied against it
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this
tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
• Mounting/removing of accessories 5
! disconnect the plug
- clean spindle A and all parts to be mounted
- push spindle-lock button B
- loosen/tighten clamping flange C with key D
- press button F to unlock spindle A
! when spindle A is locked, do not activate switch E
! grinding/cutting discs become very hot during use;
do not touch them until they have cooled down
! always mount backing pad when using sanding
accessories
! never use a grinding/cutting disc without the label
("blotter") which is glued onto it (if provided)
• Mounting of auxiliary handle G 6
! disconnect the plug
• Removing/mounting/adjusting of protective guard H 7
! disconnect the plug
! ensure that the closed side of the protective
guard always points to the operator
- if necessary, adjust protective guard H by tightening
screw X which is pre-set at manufacturing (ensure
that the protective guard is closed)
• Before using the tool
- ensure that accessory is correctly mounted and firmly
tightened
- check if accessory runs freely by turning it by hand
- test-run tool for at least 30 seconds at highest
no-load speed in a safe position
- stop immediately in case of considerable vibration or
other defects and check tool to determine the cause
• On/off (two locking switch positions) 8
! be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is
switched on
! before the accessory reaches the workpiece, the
tool should run at full speed
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
! the accessory continues to rotate for a short time
after the tool has been switched off
• Pressure control 9
Warns the user when applying too much pressure on
the tool while working (too much pressure reduces the
grinding/cutting performance and damages the tool)
- when sufficient pressure is applied on the tool, the
GREEN light is on
- when pressure is too high, next to the green light also
the RED lights are on (reduce pressure)
- when pressure is far too high, only the RED lights are
on (immediately reduce pressure)
