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.

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.
