ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
• Use only grinding/cutting discs with a maximum
thickness of 6 mm and a spindle hole diameter of
22 mm
• 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
• Handle and store grinding/cutting discs carefully to avoid
chipping and cracking
BEFORE USE
• Before using the tool for the first time, it is recommended
to receive practical information
• Always mount auxiliary handle and Wheel Guard; 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
DURING USE
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and remove battery
• In case of a battery protection cut off, or when the
battery is removed, the tool will not restart on its own; for
restarting the tool unlock on/off switch and switch on tool
again
