GENERAL
• Only use this tool for dry grinding/cutting
• Only use this tool for dry polishing
• Only use the flanges which are supplied with this tool
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES
• Use the original SKIL accessories 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 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)
• Always mount auxiliary handle A 2 and protective
guard B 2; never use the tool without them
• 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 0,25 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, release switch J 2 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 2
! disconnect the plug
- clean spindle C and all parts to be mounted
- tighten clamping flange E with spanner F while
pushing spindle-lock button G
! push spindle-lock button G only when spindle C is
at a standstill
- for removing accessories handle vice-versa
! grinding/cutting discs become very hot during
use; do not touch them until they have cooled
down
! never use a grinding/cutting disc without the label
("blotter") which is glued onto it
• Mounting of auxiliary handle A 5
! disconnect the plug
- screw auxiliary handle A on the right, the top, or the
left of the tool (depending on the work to be carried
out)
• Adjusting protective guard B 6
! disconnect the plug
! ensure that the closed side of the protective
guard always points to the operator
• 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
- switch on the tool by first pressing knob H 2
(= safety switch which cannot be locked) and then
pulling trigger J 2
