of 16 years
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);
wear ear protection ④
• 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 classiied 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
• SKIL can assure lawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualiied person
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
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)
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Before using the tool check that the knives do not brush
anywhere
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform (holding
the work by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control)
DURING USE
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the cutter may contact its own cord
(cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live"and shock the operator)
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the
tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool

immediately switch of the tool and disconnect the plug
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• If any chip should get jammed in the chip outlet, you
should switch of the motor, ensure that all moving parts
have come to a complete standstill, disconnect the plug,
and remove the jammed chip
AFTER USE
• Wait for the cutter block to stop before setting the
tool down (an exposed knife may engage the surface
leading to possible loss of control and serious injury)
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
