WARNING
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
–Lead from lead-based paints.
–Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products.
–Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
–Work in a well-ventilated area.
–Work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to
lter out microscopic particles.
–Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth or eyes or to lie on the skin may promote
absorption of harmful chemicals.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

4
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
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.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
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.
Maintain power tools. 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding:
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not
recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool
was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does
not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and y apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity
rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or
controlled.

5
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by anges, the arbor hole of the accessory must t the locating
diameter of the ange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power
tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear,
wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an
accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating
accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping ying debris generated by various operations .
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may y away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut
or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the
housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock.
Further safety instructions for all operations
Kickback and Related Warnings:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush
or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory
which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
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 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.

6
Maintain a rm 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.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your
hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of
snagging.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specic for Grinding:
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specic guard
designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot
be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of
the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip
cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum
safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to
protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks
that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct size and shape for your
selected wheel. Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel
breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel anges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power
tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

7
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Use only type 27 grinding wheels. Using accessories not designed for this tool can cause
serious injury.
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to
the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control
the power tool.
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a SKIL Factory Service Center
or Authorized SKIL Service Station.

Grinding Operations
Selecting grinding wheels
WARNING Before using a grinding wheel, be certain that its maximum safe operating
speed is not exceeded by the nameplate speed of the grinder. Do not
exceed the recommended wheel diameter.
Disc grinding wheels
Grinding wheels should be carefully selected in order to use the grinder most efciently.
Wheels vary in type of abrasive, bond, hardness, grit size and structure. The correct type of
wheel to use is determined by the job. Use disc grinding wheels for fast grinding of structural
steel, heavy weld beads, steel casting, stainless steel, and other ferrous metals.

Grinding tips
Efcient grinding is achieved by controlling the
pressure and keeping the angle between wheel
and workpiece at 10° to 15° (Fig.10). If the
wheel is at, the tool is difcult to control. If the
angle is too steep, the pressure is concentrated
on a small area, causing burning to the work
surface.
WARNING Excessive or sudden
pressure on the wheel will
slow grinding action and put dangerous
stresses on the wheel.
When grinding with a new wheel, be certain
to grind while pulling tool backwards until the
wheel becomes rounded on its edge. New
wheels have sharp corners, which tend to “bite” or cut into work piece when pushing forward.
