SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire, 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.

1. WORK AREA SAFETY
   a) Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
   c) keep children and bystanders away while operating
   a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. ELECTRICAL SAFETY
   a) 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.
   Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
   b) 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.
   c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
   Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   e) when operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use an earth leakage circuit breaker.
   The use of an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. PERSONAL SAFETY
   a) 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.
   b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d) 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.
   e) Do not overreach. keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   f) 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.
   g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
   a) 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 at which it was designed.
   b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 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 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.
   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. 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.

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 SANDERS

• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails, and other elements in your workpiece; remove them before you start working
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand)
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only when original accessories are used
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years
• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear ear protection
• Hold the 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 power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock)
• 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; have it replaced by a qualified person
• 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)
• This tool is not suitable for wet sanding
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from materials 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
• When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use a dustbag/dust box/vacuum cleaner and keep other persons and combustible material from the work area
• Do not touch the running sanding belt
• Do not continue to use worn, torn, or heavily clogged sanding belts
• Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, close-fitting clothes and hair protection (for long hair)
• Always disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= life) wire in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
