Before Use; During Use; After Use - Skil 7335 Originalbetriebsanleitung

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
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)
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• This tool is not suitable for wet sanding
• 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
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use
vacuum cleaner and keep other persons and combustible
material from work area
• 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)
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged
sanding sheets

BEFORE USE

• 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
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)

DURING USE

• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear
ear protection
• Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, close-fitting
clothes and hair protection (for long hair)
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool;
direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• Do not touch the moving sanding sheet
• 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

AFTER USE

• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) 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
USE
• Mounting of sanding sheet 4
! disconnect the plug
! the dust suction requires the use of perforated
sanding sheets
! perforation in sanding sheet should correspond
with perforation in sanding foot
! replace worn sanding sheets in time
! always use the tool with the total sanding surface
covered with sanding paper
• Dust suction 5
- when using tool with/without vacuum cleaner, mount
vacuum cleaner adapter A as illustrated
! do not use vacuum cleaner when sanding metal
• On/off switch
- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch B 2 forward/
backwards
! before the sanding surface reaches the
workpiece, you should switch on the tool
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
• Holding and guiding the tool 6
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- guide the tool parallel to the working surface
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the tool
do the work for you
- do not tilt the tool in order to avoid unwanted sanding
marks
- keep ventilation slots C 2 uncovered
• Sanding
- the amount of material removed is determined by the
selection of the sanding sheet and the applied
pressure
! intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead
to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to
increased wear of the tool and the sanding sheet
! never use the same sanding sheet for wood and
metal
