During Use; After Use - Skil MASTERS 1450 MB Notice Originale

• 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 5 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 5 and work with a dust extraction device
when connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fi re or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Ensure that the collet size corresponds with the shaft
size of the accessory

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 cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualifi ed person
• Keep hands away from rotating accessories
• Never use spindle lock while tool is running
(damage due to improper handling will be excluded
from the guarantee)
• 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 force applied against it
• Store tool in locations where temperature will not
exceed 50°C
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 accessories 6
! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
! ensure that collet size corresponds with shaft
size of accessory
- push spindle-lock button A and hold it while you turn
collet nut B by hand until the spindle lock prevents
further rotation and loosen collet nut B with wrench C
! push spindle-lock button A only when tool is at a
standstill
- insert required accessory in collet D (leave
approximately 3 mm of the shaft exposed)
- push spindle-lock button A and hold it while you
tighten collet nut B with wrench C
! avoid excessive tightening of collet nut B
! never tighten collet nut, if there is no accessory in
collet; collet may be damaged
• Before using the tool
- ensure that accessory is correctly mounted and fi rmly
tightened
- check if accessory runs freely by turning it by hand
- test-run tool for at least 30 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
- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch E 2 in
"I"/"O" position
! be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is
switched on
• Speed control 7
For optimal results on different materials
- select speed with wheel F (also while tool is running)
- use table 8 as reference for determining the right
speed
- before starting a job, fi nd the optimal speed by
testing out on spare material
! after longer periods of working at low speed,
allow the tool to cool down by running it for
approximately 3 minutes at high speed with no
load
• Depth adjustment accessory 9
For guiding the tool along the workpiece at a pre-set
cutting depth
- release lever G before mounting/removing
accessory H onto/from tool collar
! lock lever G after mounting accessory H
- loosen adjustment screw K counter-clockwise with
wrench C as illustrated
- slide depth gauge L up or down to the desired
cutting depth and tighten screw K clockwise
• Dust suction accessory 0
For combining tool guidance at a pre-set cutting depth
with dust suction
- release lever G before mounting/removing
accessory M onto/from tool collar
! lock lever G after mounting accessory M
- loosen 2 adjustment knobs N counter-clockwise
- slide depth gauge L up or down to the desired
cutting depth and tighten 2 adjustment knobs N
clockwise
- connect vacuum cleaner to extension P
! never let the vacuum cleaner hose interfere with
the cutting operation
• Operating the tool !
- insert multi-functional bit Q
- mount depth adjustment accessory H or dust suction
accessory M
- set wheel F 2 to desired speed
- place the bit onto the workpiece at a 45° angle
- switch on the tool
- slowly lower the bit into the workpiece at a 45° angle
- after reaching the desired cutting depth, move the
tool to its normal working position again
