Skil 9149 Manual Original página 11

• 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
• Use only grinding/cutting discs with a maximum
thickness of 6 mm and a spindle hole diameter of
22 mm
• 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
• Handle and store grinding/cutting discs carefully to avoid
chipping and cracking
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
• Always mount auxiliary handle F 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 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
• 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 the cord is damaged; it must be
replaced by a specially prepared cord available through
the service organization.
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
AFTER USE
• After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of the
accessory by a lateral force applied against it

it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
• Mounting of accessories 2
! disconnect the plug
- clean spindle A and all parts to be mounted
- tighten clamping flange B with spanner C while pushing
spindle-lock button D
! push spindle-lock button D only when spindle A 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 (if provided)
• Mounting of auxiliary handle F 7
! disconnect the plug
- screw auxiliary handle F on the right, the top, or the left
of the tool (depending on the work to be carried out)
• Removing/mounting/adjusting of protective guard G 8
! disconnect the plug
! ensure that the closed side of the protective guard
always points to the operator
- if necessary, adjust protective guard G by tightening
screw X which is pre-set at manufacturing (ensure that
the protective guard is closed)
• 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 60 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 safety switch H 9
- switch on tool 9 a
! be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is
switched on
! before the accessory reaches the workpiece, the
tool should run at full speed
- lock switch 9 b
- unlock switch/switch off tool 9 c
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it from
the workpiece
! the accessory continues to rotate for a short time
after the tool has been switched off
• Speed selection wheel K 2
- for determining the right speed table q can be used
as reference
! always test out first on a piece of scrap material
