bits can snap during use. Dull bits require
more force to push the tool, possibly causing
the bit to break.
Never touch the bit during or immediately
after the use. After use the bit is too hot to
be touched by bare hands.
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
Authorized Skil Service Station.
Never lay the tool down until the motor
has come to a complete standstill. The
spinning bit can grab the surface and pull the
tool out of your control.
Never use bits that have a cutting
diameter greater than the opening in the
base.
