e) maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR SANDERS
GENERAL
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• This tool is not suitable for wet sanding
• 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
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use
dust box/vacuum cleaner and keep other persons and
combustible material from work area
• Regularly clean the power tool's air vents (the
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause
electrical hazards)
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES

when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged
sanding sheets
BEFORE USE
