1. To install accessories, align holes in

holder in desired position. Assure that pin in

holder are engaged into holes in accessory

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

2. To remove accessory, loosen and remove

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

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.

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.

Your Skil Multi-Tasker Tool is intended for

sanding and cutting wooden materials, plastic,

plaster and non-ferrous metals. It is especially

suitable for working close to edges, in tight

spaces, and for flush cutting.

Depending on the accessory used, your tool is

suitable for work that arises during renovation

of new buildings, cleaning of new buildings as

well as for hobby carving.

Below are some typical uses for your Oscillating

Multi Tool.

!.68?*5 @8;4

e.g. carpets & backing, old tile adhesives,

caulking on masonry, wood and other

surfaces.

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.
