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 an 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 inuence 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 energizing 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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

4
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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
dustrelated 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 qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
BELT SANDER SAFETY RULES
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the belt may contact its own
cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Never leave the trigger locked “ON”. Before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger
lock is “OFF”. Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
Unplug the sander before changing accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur if sander
is plugged in while changing an accessory.
Keep your ngers and clothing away from the belt. They could get cut or wedged between
the pulley, belt and motor housing.
Properly adjust tracking of belt to avoid it overhanging the housing. A running belt
overhanging its housing can cause severe lacerations.
Be aware of the location and setting of the Switch “Lock-ON” Button. If the switch is
locked “ON”, be ready for emergency situations to switch it “OFF”, by rst pulling the trigger
then immediately releasing it without pressing the “Lock-ON” button.
Keep the cord to the side away from pulleys. The cord can be dragged into belt housing
and become entangled with the pulleys.

5
Clamp or secure workpiece when sanding. Clamping the workpiece prevents it from being
ejected from under the sander and leaves both hands to control the tool.
Clamp or secure sander if it is inverted and bench mounted for use as a table sander.
Always use edge stop or guide when sanding short or small workpieces. Fingers or
clothing can be dragged into pulley and housing area.
Do not wet sand with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing is an electrical shock hazard.
Your tool is equipped with a dust canister, empty it frequently, after completion of
sanding and before storing the sander. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in
ne particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open re. Combustion
from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles can occur if
there is a static discharge, spark introduced in the box, or excessive heat.
Portable belt sanders are not intended to be permanently mounted as a bench or
table sander. There are accessories available which can convert certain portable belt
sanders for occasional stationary use. If such accessories are used always clamp or
secure sander when inverted and bench mounted for use as a table sander. Be aware
of switch location and know how to shut off the tool in emergency situations. Always
follow directions included with the accessory. Use sanding fence, stop or guide when
sanding short or small workpieces.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
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 Autho rized Skil Service Station.
WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to lter out
microscopic particles.

ASSEMBLY
Removing and installing sanding belts
WARNING To prevent personal injury, always disconnect the plug from the power
source before removing or installing the belt.
Keep your ngers and clothing away from the belt. They could get cut or wedged between
the pulley, belt and motor housing.
To Remove Belt
1. Place sander on it’s side and move lever in
direction of arrow to retract front pulley and
release belt tension (Fig. 2).
2. With the sander on it’s side and the open side
facing you, you can easily remove the belt.
To install belt
1. While the sander is still on it’s side with the front pulley retracted and locked, insert the new
belt around both pulleys and over the metal plate. If belt has directional marks, be sure the
arrow on the inside of belt is pointing in the direction of rotation as indicated on housing.
2. Then push lever back to its original position to return tension to the belt.
Microlter dust canister
the integral dust extraction system collects sanding dust in canister supplied with your sander.
For maximum efciency, the dust canister should be emptied frequently during operation.
WARNING Your tool is equipped with a dust canister, empty it frequently, after
completion of sanding and before storing the sander. Be extremely
careful of dust disposal, materials in ne particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding
dust on an open re. Combustion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or

Removing and installing dust
canister
To remove dust canister, simply pull away from
the tool (Fig. 3).
To install dust canister, align dust port tab with
slot in canister and push canister onto tool.
Cleaning and emptying the dust canister
Remove canister from tool and knock excess dust out of the microlter, or remove dust with
your ngers or a soft brush. You may notice that all the dust may not come out of the canister.
This will not affect sanding performance but will reduce dust collection efciency.
NOTE: Do not wash the micro lter with soap and water. Dust may become more rmly lodged
in the pores, which will reduce dust collection, and damage the micro lter.
Dust extraction
Your tool is equipped with a dust port for dust
extraction. To use this feature, insert standard
1-1/4” vacuum hose into the dust port, and
connect the opposite end of the hose to a shop

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Trigger switch and “lock-on”
button
your tool can be turned “ON” or “OFF” by
squeezing or releasing the trigger. Your tool
is also equipped with “Lock-on” button located
just above the trigger that allows continuous
operation without holding the trigger (Fig. 5).
To lock switch “on”: Squeeze trigger, depress
button and release trigger.
To unlock the switch: Squeeze trigger and
release it without depressing the “Lock-on” button.
WARNING If the “Lock-on” button is
continuously being de-
pressed, the trigger cannot be released.
Pressure control
your tool is equipped with pressure control
indicator lights. The indicator lights will let you
know if you are applying the proper amount of
pressure during operation. If the green indica-
tor lights are illuminated you are applying the
correct amount of pressure. If the red indicator
light illuminates you are applying too much
pressure and you need to apply less pressure
(Fig. 6).
Auto-track system
your sander features the automatic belt control system which keeps the belt running in the
center of the pulleys after initial adjustment. The system has been preset at the factory but
may require adjustment when belts are changed or an older belt stretches.

Adjusting the auto-track system
1. Plug in the cord with the tool OFF.
2. Hold handle of sander with one hand and tilt
back until belt is off work and the sander is
resting on the bottom heel of the housing.
3. Turn tool ON by pressing the trigger.
4. For best performance the belt should be in line
with the outer edge of the rear pulley. If the belt
deviates more than 1/8 inch from the outside of
the sander, adjust the belt position by turning
the auto-track adjustment screw, (Fig. 7) until
the belt returns to the proper position.
Selecting the sanding belt
It is very important that you select the proper belt for each particular application. To do this
you should understand the method of marking or coding on the back of most belts. “CLOSED
COAT” means the surface is densely covered with as much grit as the adhesive will hold. “OPEN
COAT” means the grit has been applied evenly, but openly to the surface. An “open coat” will
not clog or ll as readily as “closed coat”. In general, aluminum oxide abrasive belts are best
for woodworking because they are tougher and last longer. Sanding belts should be stored in a
cool, dry place. Do not store near heat or near a window where the sun can reach them.

SANDING TIPS
Technique
Grasp the handles rmly. Start the sander with the belt off the work (NOTE: never start or stop
the tool with the belt in contact with the work surface). Place the heel of the sander on the
work rst. Then, with a forward motion, begin the sanding stroke as the machine is lowered
onto the work surface. This will prevent gouging. Keep the sander moving so that your work
will be smooth and even. The stroke is simply a back-and-forth movement with most of the
sanding done on the pull movement. Use a light touch. The weight of the belt sander is the
only pressure required. Too much pressure will slow the work by overloading the motor
and reducing belt speed. The result will be decreased sanding efciency. Sand slowly and
systematically and, when you stop, lift the sander from the surface before stopping the tool.
Wood nishing
Take care to select belts wisely. For initial smoothing of rough lumber, use coarse or very
coarse grit and sand with the grain. On very uneven or hard wood, sand diagonally (across the
grain). Be careful to avoid gouging. Now switch to medium grit belt and sand with the grain.
This will provide a relatively level and smooth nish. Now insert a ne grit belt for nal nishing.
Always sand with the grain to remove scratches left by coarser belts. Keep the sander moving
in long, light strokes during nishing operations. As a nal touch, experienced sanders will often
insert a “used” ne belt to provide a smooth surface for lling, sealing, brushing or spraying.
Renishing coated wood
Your belt sander will also help remove old paint, varnish or lacquer; however, if the coating
consists of several layers, remove as much as possible with a paint solvent or varnish remover
before using the belt sander. Use a hand scraper to remove the residue left by the solvent and
allow surface to dry completely before sanding.
For fast removal, start with a coarse grit, open coat belt. Change to closed coat belts, using
medium grits as the material shows through the coating. When the covering is thin, use
medium grit to avoid scratching the material. Use short, light strokes, moving the sander
rapidly. Excessive pressure or steady sanding in one place will burn the coating and load
the belt.
Metal nishing
For ferrous metals such as steel, stainless steel, iron, etc., use coarse grit open coat belts
or coarse to ne grit closed coat belts, depending on the nish desired. Non-ferrous metals
such as aluminum, solder, brass, bronze, etc., can also be sanded. Beeswax or tallow are
recommended as lubricants for metal sanding, polishing or satin nishing to minimize belt
loading and to lengthen belt life. To use, simply rub the lubricant on the belt from time to time.
SAE No. 10 or 20 lubricating oil can also be used to assure a smooth scratch free surface. Just
wipe the oil on the surface prior to sanding.

MAINTENANCE
Service
WARNING Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may
result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could
cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Skil Factory
Service Center or Authorized Skil Service Station.
Tool lubrication
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools
with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.
Carbon brushes
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak efciency of the motor, we recommend every two to six
months the brushes be examined. Only genuine Skil replacement brushes specially designed
for your tool should be used.
Bearings
After about 300-400 hours of operation, or at every second brush change, the bearings should
be replaced at Skil Factory Service Center or Authorized Skil Service Station. Bearings which
become noisy (due to heavy load or very abrasive material cutting) should be replaced at once
to avoid overheating or motor failure.
Cleaning
WARNING To avoid accidents always disconnect the tool from the power supply
before cleaning or performing any maintenance. The tool may be
cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when
cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
CAUTION Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of
these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.

18
EXTENSION CORDS
WARNING If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size
conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.
Grounded tools must use 3- wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
