e) maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

is considered carcinogenic)
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged
sanding sheets
BEFORE USE
• 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)
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear
ear protection
• 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
• Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, close-fitting
clothes and hair protection (for long hair)
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use
dust box/vacuum cleaner and keep other persons and
combustible material from work area
DURING USE
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool;
direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• Do not touch the moving sanding sheet
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
AFTER USE
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire

• 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 sanding sheet 4
! disconnect the plug
! the dust suction requires the use of perforated
sanding sheets
! perforation in sanding sheet should correspond
with perforation in sanding foot
! replace worn sanding sheets in time
- always use the orange foam pad (which is subject to
wear and tear and as such excluded from the
warranty)
! always use the tool with the total sanding surface
covered with sanding paper
- knock the dust out of the VELCRO material on the
orange foam pad before mounting the sanding sheet
- mount VELCRO sanding sheet as illustrated
• Dust suction 5
- mount dust box A by sliding it onto tool as illustrated
until it snap-locks
- remove dust box A by pressing knob B and hold it in
that position while pulling dust box backwards
- empty dust box A regularly for optimal dust pick-up
performance
! do not use dust box when sanding metal
• On/off

backwards
! before the sanding surface reaches the
workpiece, you should switch on the tool
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
• Speed control
For optimal sanding results on different materials
- with wheel D 2 you can set the desired sanding
speed
- before starting a job, find the optimal speed and grit by
testing out on spare material
