b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MULTI-FUNCTION TOOLS
GENERAL
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• 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 classified 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
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform (holding
the workpiece by hand or against your body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control)
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Always disconnect plug from power source during
work breaks or before cleaning, maintenance,
making adjustments and changing accessories,
in order to reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally
• When working, always hold the tool firmly 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
• Use protective gloves when changing accessories
(contact with the accessory can lead to injuries)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off 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
• Never use the tool when the cord is damaged; it must be
replaced by a specially prepared cord available through
an after-sales service centre for SKIL power tools and
carried out by a qualified person
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
WHEN SAWING/CUTTING
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord (cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock)
• Keep hands away from cutting area; never reach
underneath the material for any reason while cutting
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines
or call the local utility company for assistance
(contact with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical
shock; damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Do not use a saw blade which is cracked, deformed or
dull
WHEN SANDING
Use the tool only for dry sanding (penetration of water
•
into the tool increases the risk of an electric shock)
• Do not touch the moving sanding sheet
• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged
sanding sheets
• When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use
vacuum cleaner and keep other persons and combustible
material from work area
