! grinding/cutting discs become very hot during
use; do not touch them until they have cooled
down
! always mount backing pad when using sanding
accessories
! never use a grinding/cutting disc without the label
(“blotter”) which is glued onto it
● Mounting of auxiliary handle E 6
● Removing/mounting/adjusting of safety guard F 7
! ensure that the closed side of the protective guard
always points to the operator
● Before using the tool
- ensure that accessory is correctly mounted and firmly
tightened
- check if accessory runs freely by turning it by hand
- test-run tool for at least 30 seconds at highest no-load
speed in a safe position
- stop immediately in case of considerable vibration or
other defects and check tool to determine the cause
● On/off locking switch H 8
- switch on tool 8a
! be aware of the sudden impact when the tool is
switched on
! before the accessory reaches the workpiece, the
tool should run at full speed
- lock switch 8b
- unlock switch/switch off tool 8c
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
! the accessory continues to rotate for a short time
after the tool has been switched off
● Grip ring J 9
For a better grip when working
! always use grip ring J when holding the tool so
that ventilation slots L will not be covered by your
hands
● Speed selection wheel K 2 (9470)
- for determining the right speed table 0 can be used
as reference
! always test out first on a piece of scrap material
● Electronic soft-start (9460/9470)
Ensures reaching the maximum speed smoothly without
a sudden impact when tool is switched on
● Electronic constant speed (9460/9470)
Keeps the speed at a constant level as the load
increases
● Electronic overload protection (9460/9470)
Reduces the speed of the disc automatically in case the
tool is overloaded for a longer period of time
For returning to normal working speed:
- switch off tool
- let tool cool down for 30 seconds
- switch on tool
● Replacing carbon brushes !
This tool is equipped with carbon brushes which pop up
automatically when worn, thus preventing the motor from
being damaged; when the tool stops unexpectedly,
replace the brushes as follows:
! ensure that switch H is in the "O" position
! disconnect the plug
- open the tool with a Torx-15 key (not supplied with the
tool)
- disconnect and remove the worn carbon brushes as
illustrated
- insert and connect the new carbon brushes (supplied
with the tool)
! prevent the spring from popping back by holding
it up with one hand while replacing the carbon
brush with the other hand
- ensure that the wiring is put back as illustrated
! always replace both carbon brushes at the same
time
● Grinding @
- move the tool back and forth with moderate pressure
! never use a cutting disc for side grinding
● Cutting #
- do not tilt the tool while cutting
- always move the tool in same direction as arrow on
tool head, in order to prevent the tool from being
pushed out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner
- do not apply pressure on the tool; let the speed of the
cutting disc do the work
- the working speed of the cutting disc depends on the
material to be cut
- do not brake cutting discs with side pressure
● Holding and guiding the tool
- always hold the tool firmly with both hands, so you will
have full control of the tool at all times
- provide for a secure stance
- pay attention to the direction of rotation; always hold
the tool so, that sparks and grinding/cutting dust fly
away from the body
- keep ventilation slots L 2 uncovered
APPLICATION ADVICE
● Instead of flange B 2 the ”CLIC” quick-clamping flange
(SKIL accessory 2610388766) can be used;
grinding/cutting discs can then be mounted without the
use of accessory keys
