User manual SKIL 7455

[. . . ] 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. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. [. . . ] 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 GENERAL ? This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years ? This tool is not suitable for wet sanding ? Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced by a qualified person ? Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic) ? 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 discs 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 ? Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U. 13 Amps) ? The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear ear protection ? 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 ? Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, close-fitting clothes and hair protection (for long hair) 6 ? Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand) ? When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use dust box and keep other persons and combustible material from work area DURING USE ? 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 disc ? 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. 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 ? Backing pads -- never run the tool without backing pad A ! replace damaged backing pads immediately (loosen/fasten 4 pad screws B) !Unplug tool before removing/mounting backing pads ? Mounting of sanding sheet 4 -- mount VELCRO sanding sheet C as illustrated -- if necessary, clean backing pad first !Perforation in sanding sheet should correspond with perforation in sanding foot !The dust suction requires the use of perforated sanding sheets !Replace worn sanding sheets in time ? Dust suction 5 -- empty dust box D regularly for optimal dust pick-up performance For using vacuum cleaner -- remove dust box D by pushing knob E to the left and hold it in that position while pulling dust box D backwards -- connect vacuum cleaner to extension F !Do not use dust box/vacuum cleaner when sanding metal ? Dust level indicator 6 -- empty dust box D when indicator G turns RED -- indicator G only functions when tool is switched on -- be aware that the working of the dust level indicator is not guaranteed when sanding at lower speed settings (7455) ? On/off switch -- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch H 2 forward/ backwards !Before the sanding surface reaches the workpiece, you should switch on the tool !Be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is switched on !Before switching off the tool, you should lift it from the workpiece ? Speed control 7 (7455) For optimal sanding results on different materials -- with wheel J 2 you can set the desired sanding speed -- always adjust speed to grit size used -- before starting a job, find the optimal speed and grit by testing out on spare material ? Holding and guiding the tool 8 !While working, always hold the tool at the greycoloured grip area(s) -- guide the tool parallel to the working surface and move it in circles or in a cross pattern -- 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 K 2 uncovered ? Sanding -- the amount of material removed is determined by the selection of the sanding sheet, the preselected sanding speed 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 ! [. . . ] pe corp si articole de protec?ie a p?rului (n caz de p?r lung) ? Securiza?i piesa de lucru (o pies?dect manual) ? n timpul ?lefuirii de metale sunt mpr??tiate scntei; nu folosi?i caset?pentru praf ?i nu permite?i prezen?a altor persoane sau a unor materiale inflamabile n perimetrul de activitate N TIMPUL FUNC?ION?RII ?
