W RNING
hands while starting the tool,
since torque from the motor can cause the
tool to twist.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL DIAL
The Skil Multi-Tasker is equipped with a
variable speed control dial (Fig. 4). The speed
may be controlled during operation by
presetting the dial in any one of six positions.

DUST ExTRACTION

Your tool is equipped with a dust port for dust
extraction. To use this feature, attach
vacuum hose (optional accessory) to the
dust port, and connect the opposite end of
the hose to a shop vacuum cleaner (Fig. 5).
APPLICATION
Your Skil Multi-Tasker Tool is intended for
sanding and cutting wooden materials, plastic,
plaster and non-ferrous metals. It is especially
suitable for working close to edges, in tight
spaces, and for flush cutting.
Depending on the accessory used, your tool is
suitable for work that arises during renovation
of new buildings, cleaning of new buildings as
well as for hobby carving.
Below are some typical uses for your Oscillating
Multi Tool.
Removal work
e.g. carpets & backing, old tile adhesives,
FIG. 5
The Skil Multi-Tasker consists of an AC
universal motor and oscillating mechanism to
perform applications such as cutting, grout
removal, scraping, sanding and more.
The Skil Multi-Tasker has a high oscillating
motion of 12,000 - 22,000 /min (OPM). The
FIG. 4
high speed motion allows the Skil Multi-
Tasker to achieve excellent results. The
oscillating motion allows the dust to fall to the
V RI BLE SPEED
surface rather than slinging particles into the
CONTROL DI L
air.
NOTE: Speed is affected by voltages
changes. A reduced incoming voltage will
slow the OPM of the tool, especially at the
lowest setting. If your tool appears to be
running slowly, increase the speed setting
accordingly. The tool may not start at the
lowest switch setting in areas where outlet
voltage is less than 120 volts. Simply move
the speed setting to a higher position to
begin operation.
Operating Applications
caulking on masonry, wood and other
surfaces.
Cleaning work
e.g. cleaning of tiles, wood surfaces, skis etc.
Removal of excess materials
e.g. plaster, mortar splatters, concrete on tiles,
sills.
Preparation of surfaces
e.g. for new floors and tiles.
Detail sanding
e.g. for sanding in extremely tight areas, such
as louvered panels, crafts, otherwise difficult
to reach and require hand sanding
