• For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched
by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering
into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out.
The wheel may either jump toward or away from the
operator, depending on the direction of the wheel's
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions.
• Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque
reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
The accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel
the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel's
movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a
tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss
of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.

• Only use the fl anges which are supplied with this tool
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure fl awless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• For mounting/using non-SKIL accessories observe the
instructions of the manufacturer concerned
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• Never use accessories with a "blind" threaded hole
smaller than M14 x 21 mm
• Do not use damaged, deformed or vibrating accessories
OUTDOOR USE
• When used outdoors, connect the tool via a fault current
(FI) circuit breaker with a triggering current of 30 mA
maximum, and only use an extension cord which is
intended for outdoor use and equipped with a
splashproof coupling-socket
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)
• Always mount auxiliary handle A 3 or B 3; never use
the tool without it
• 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 classifi ed 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
• 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
• When working, always hold the tool fi rmly with both
hands and take a secure stance
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the
tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• 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 cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualifi ed person
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• In case of current interruption or when the plug is
accidentally pulled out, release switch K 3 in order to
prevent uncontrolled restarting
AFTER USE
• Before you put down the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
• After switching off the tool, never stop the rotation of
the accessory by a lateral force applied against it
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• 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 auxiliary handles 5
! disconnect the plug
- screw auxiliary handle A on the right, the top, or the
left of the tool (depending on the work to be carried
out)
- mount auxiliary handle B as illustrated and tighten
both screws supplied with hex key C
