ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
Do not use this grinder as an abrasive cutoff machine. Operations for which the power
tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use type 1, 1A (ISO41), 27A cutting wheels, type 11 cup wheels, type 28 and 29
flap wheels or diamond wheels. Using wheel without a suitable guard designed specifically
for it can cause serious injury.
Use only type 27 grinding wheels, sanding discs and wire brushes. 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

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.
