• Pressure control 9
Warns the user when applying too much pressure on the
tool while working (too much pressure reduces the
grinding/cutting performance and damages the tool)
- when sufficient pressure is applied on the tool, the
GREEN light is on
- when pressure is too high, next to the green light also
the RED lights are on (reduce pressure)
- when pressure is far too high, only the RED lights are
on (immediately reduce pressure)
• Grinding 0
- move the tool back and forth with moderate pressure
! never use a cutting disc for side grinding
• Cutting !
- do not tilt the tool while cutting
- always move the tool in same direction as arrow on
tool head, in order to prevent the tool from being
pushed out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner
- do not apply pressure on the tool; let the speed of the
cutting disc do the work
- the working speed of the cutting disc depends on the
material to be cut
- do not brake cutting discs with side pressure
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s) @
- always hold the tool firmly with both hands, so you will
have full control of the tool at all times
- pay attention to the direction of rotation; always hold
the tool so, that sparks and grinding/cutting dust fly
away from the body
- provide for a secure stance
- keep ventilation slots L 2 uncovered
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Instead of flange C 2 the "CLIC" quick-clamping flange
(SKIL accessory 2610388766) can be used; grinding/
cutting discs can then be mounted without the use of
accessory keys

NOISE/VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 89 dB(A) and the sound
power level 100 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration ✱ (hand-arm method; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱ when surface grinding 14.6 m/s²
✱ when sanding 9.1 m/s²
! other applications (such as cutting-off or wire
brushing) may have different vibration values
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it
may be used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different
or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may significantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration
by maintaining the tool and its accessories,
keeping your hands warm, and organizing your
work patterns
