Outdoor Use; Before Use; During Use; After Use - Skil Masters 9445 Instructions Manual

• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure fl awless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
• Never use reducors or adaptors to fi t 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 fi rst time, it is
recommended to receive practical information
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fi re or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• 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 classifi ed 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-specifi c regulations; these regulations are to be
observed under all circumstances)
• Clamp the workpiece in case it does not remain
stationary from its own weight
• 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 clarifi cation,
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 with a damaged cord
• 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 J 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 of accessories 5
! disconnect the plug
- clean spindle A and all parts to be mounted
- push spindle-lock button D
- tighten clamping fl ange B with key C
! when spindle A is locked, switch J/K cannot be
activated
- press button E to unlock spindle A
- for removing accessories handle vice-versa
! 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
• Mounting of auxiliary handle F 6
! disconnect the plug
• Removing/mounting/adjusting of protective guard G 7
! disconnect the plug
- open protective guard G by loosening screw L
- place protective guard G on the spindle collar of the
tool head and turn it to the required position
(depending on the work to be carried out)
! ensure that the closed side of the protective
guard always points to the operator
- fasten protective guard G by tightening screw L
• Before using the tool
- ensure that accessory is correctly mounted and fi rmly
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
• Two hand positions 9
