mm
• For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
• Never use reducors or adaptors to 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 rst time, it is recommended
to receive practical information
• Always mount auxiliary handle E 2 and protective guard
F 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 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)
• 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 classi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-
specic 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 aected (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 clari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 when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualied person
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch o the tool and disconnect the plug
• In case of current interruption or when the plug is
accidentally pulled out, release switch H 2 in order to
prevent uncontrolled restarting
AFTER USE
• After switching o 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 o the cord of this tool,
it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended

• Before using the tool
- ensure that accessory is correctly mounted and 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
