Safety Instructions For Hammer Drills - Skil F0156480 Serie Manual De Instrucciones

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAMMER DRILLS

Wear ear protectors with hammer drills (exposure to
●
noise can cause hearing loss)
Use auxiliary handles supplied with the tool (loss of
●
control can cause personal injury)
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
●
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool
●
When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
●
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
●
capacity of 16 Amps (UK 13 Amps)
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
●
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
●
when original accessories are used
Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
●
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
This tool should not be used by people under the age of
●
16 years
Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
●
is considered carcinogenic)
Take protective measures when during work dust
●
can develop that is harmful to one's health,
combustible or explosive (some dusts are considered
carcinogenic); wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip
extraction when connectable
Be careful not to drill or drive into areas where electrical
●
wires may be contacted; always use auxiliary handle
The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);
●
wear ear protection
If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
●
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
Never use tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced
●
by a qualified person
Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
●
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with
a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
If the drill bit becomes unexpectedly jammed (causing a
●
sudden, dangerous reaction), immediately switch off the
tool
Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming
●
(especially when drilling metals); always use auxiliary
handle and take a secure stance
Always disconnect plug from power source before
●
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
●
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this
●
tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
On/Off 3
●
Switch locking for continuous use 4
●
Speed control for smooth starting 5
●
Maximum speed control 6
●
With wheel C the maximum speed can be adjusted from
low to high (1-5)
- switch on the tool
- lock the switch
- turn wheel C to select maximum speed
2 Mechanical speeds 7
●
! change speed only when tool is switched off
1 = LOW SPEED
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
2 = HIGH SPEED
- lower torque
- for drilling small diameters
For determining the optimal speed table 8 can be used
●
as reference
Changing direction of rotation 9
●
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A
cannot be activated
- indicator G shows the selected direction of rotation
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
Normal drilling/screwdriving versus hammer drilling 0
●
- indicator H shows the selected drilling function
! select drilling function only when tool is switched
off
Changing bits !
●
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
Adjusting drilling depth @
●
Holding and guiding the tool #
●
! always use auxiliary handle (can be adjusted as
illustrated)
- keep the ventilation slots uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the
tool do the work for you
