1. To install accessories, align holes in
accessory with locating pins on accessory
holder in desired position. Assure that pin in
holder are engaged into holes in accessory
and securely tighten with with hex bolt
provided (Fig. 2).
Your accessories can be engaged into
accessory holder 12 positions 30 degrees
apart.
For intermediate position an adapter is
provided that will allow you to attach the
accessory in any position. Use of adapter will
also allow you to use most competitor
accessories.
2. To remove accessory, loosen and remove
hex bolt and remove accessory from holder
(Fig. 2).
"#""#"
First install rubber backing pad to tool. Your
tool uses hook-and-loop backed sandpaper,
which firmly grips the backing pad when
applied with moderate pressure.
To change, mere ly peel off the old sandpaper,
remove dust from the backing pad if
necessary, and press the new sandpaper in
place (Fig. 2).
After considerable use the backing pad
surface will become worn, and the backing pad
must be replaced when it no longer offers a
firm grip. If you are experiencing premature
wear of the back ing pad facing, decrease the
amount of pressure you are applying during
operation of the tool.

Thank you for purchasing the Skil Multi-Tasker.
This tool was designed to tackle a wide
variety of Skil Multi-Tasker projects. The Skil
Multi-Tasker tackles tasks that are tedious,
time consuming or simply next to impossible
to achieve with any other tool. The
ergonomic housing is designed for you to
hold and control in a comfortable manner
during operation.
It comes with an assortment of accessories
that are specifically designed for remodeling
work where you need precision and control.
Your Skil Multi-Tasker has a robust electric
motor, is comfortable in the hand, and is
made to accept a large variety of accessories
including flush cut blades, scraper blades,
grout removal wheels and sanding pads.
Accessories come in a variety of shapes and
permit you to do a number of different jobs.
As you become familiar with the range of
accessories and their uses, you will learn just
how versatile your Skil Multi-Tasker.
Visit www.Skil.com to learn more about what
you can do with your Skil Multi-Tasker
#$"
This Skil Multi-Tasker Tool is intended for dry
sanding of surfaces, corners, edges, for
scraping, for sawing soft metals, wood and
plastic components, and for grout removal
using the applicable tools and accessories
recommended by Skil (See page 13).

Getting the most out of your oscillating tool is a
matter of learning how to let the speed and the
feel of the tool in your hands work for you.
The first step in learning to use the tool is to
get the “feel” of it. Hold it in your hand and feel
its weight and balance (Fig. 3). Depending on
the application, you will need to adjust your
hand position to achieve optimum comfort and
control. The unique comfort grip on the body of
the tool allows for added comfort and control
during use.
When holding tool, do not cover the air vents
with your hand. Blocking the air vents could
cause the motor to overheat.
!## Practice on scrap material first
to see how the tool’s high-speed action
performs. Keep in mind that your tool will
perform best by allowing the speed, along with
the correct accessory, do the work for you. Be
careful not to apply too much pressure.
Instead, lower the oscillating accessory lightly
to the work surface and allow it to touch the
point at which you want to begin. Concentrate
on guiding the tool over the work using very
little pressure from your hand. Allow the
accessory to do the work.
Usually it is better to make a series of passes
with the tool rather than to do the entire job
with one pass. To make a cut, for example,
pass the tool back and forth over the work. Cut
a little material on each pass until you reach
the desired depth.

The tool is switched "ON" by the slide switch
located on the topside of the motor housing
(Fig. 1).
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" slide the switch
button forward to the “I” .
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF" slide the switch
button backward the “0” .
Hold the tool with both
hands while starting the tool,
since torque from the motor can cause the
tool to twist.
%!" #!
The Skil Multi-Tasker is equipped with a
variable speed control dial (Fig. 4). The speed
may be controlled during operation by
presetting the dial in any one of six positions.
$"#'#!#
Your tool is equipped with a dust port for dust
extraction. To use this feature, insert dust
port adapter into dust port, attach vacuum
hose into the adapter, then connect the
opposite end of the hose to a shop vacuum
cleaner (Fig. 5).
!#" "
The Skil Multi-Tasker consists of an AC
universal motor and oscillating mechanism to
perform applications such as cutting, grout
removal, scraping, sanding and more.
The Skil Multi-Tasker has a high oscillating
motion of 12,000 - 22,000 /min (OPM). The
high speed motion allows the Skil Multi-
Tasker to achieve excellent results. The
oscillating motion allows the dust to fall to the
surface rather than slinging particles into the
air.
# Speed is affected by voltages
changes. A reduced incoming voltage will
slow the OPM of the tool, especially at the
lowest setting. If your tool appears to be
running slowly, increase the speed setting
accordingly. The tool may not start at the
lowest switch setting in areas where outlet
voltage is less than 120 volts. Simply move
the speed setting to a higher position to
begin operation.

Scrapers are suitable for removing old coats of
varnish or adhesives, removing bonded
carpeting, e.g. on stairs/steps and other
small/medium size surfaces.
Wide scrapers are for large area removal,
narrow for use in hard-to-reach areas.
Select a medium to high speed.
Turn the tool on and place desired accessory
on the area where material is to be removed.
Begin with a flat angle and light pressure. The
stroke motion of accessory only occurs when
pressure is applied to the material to be
removed.
Excessive pressure can gouge or damage the
background surfaces (e.g,. wood, plaster).
Work with the accessory away from the body.
Never position hand near or directly in front of
working area. Always hold the tool with both
hands and wear protective gloves.
"
Sanding accessories are suitable for dry
sanding of wood, metal, smaller surfaces,
corners and edges and hard to reach areas.
Profiles and grooves may be finished using
the tip or edge of the selected accessory,
which should occasionally be rotated during
use to distribute the wear on the accessory
and backing pad surface.
Always be certain that smaller workpieces
are securely fastened to a bench or other
support. Larger panels may be held in place
by hand on a bench or sawhorses.
SANDING: Open-coat aluminum oxide
sanding sheets are recommended for most
wood or metal sanding applications, as this
synthetic material cuts quickly and wears
well.
The following suggestions may be used as a
general guide for abrasive selection, but the
best results will be obtained by sanding a
test sample of the workpiece first.
Grit
Application
Coarse For rough wood or metal
sanding, and rust or old
finish removal.
Medium For general wood or metal
sanding
Fine For final finishing of wood,
metal, plaster and other
surfaces.
Extra fine For final sanding of bare
wood, smoothing old paint,
or preparing a finished
surface for recoating.
With the workpiece firmly secured, turn tool
on as described above. Contact the work
with the tool after the tool has reached its full
speed, and remove it from the work before
switching the tool off. Operating your tool in
this manner will prolong switch and motor
life, and greatly increase the quality of your
work.
Move the tool in long steady strokes parallel
to the grain using some lateral motion to
overlap the strokes by as much as 75%. DO
NOT apply excessive pressure - let the tool
do the work. Excessive pressure will result in
poor handling, vibration, and unwanted
sanding marks.
"&
Sawing accessories are suitable for sawing
thin sheet steel, wood and plastics.
Select a high oscillating speed.
