SAFETY
Read and save this instruction manual (pay special
attention to the safety instructions at the back) 3
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
Check voltage indicated on nameplate of tool/charger/
battery
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from
power source
SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
Before using accessories always compare the maximum
allowed r.p.m. of that specific accessory with the r.p.m.
of the tool
This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
Be careful not to drill or drive into areas where electrical
wires may be contacted
Do not activate switch when changing accessories or
carrying the tool
CHARGING/BATTERIES
Charge battery only with the charger that is supplied
with the tool
Do not touch the contacts in the charger
Do not expose tool/charger/battery to rain
Never charge battery outdoors 4
Store tool/charger/battery in locations where
temperature will not exceed 40° C or drop below 0° C
Batteries will explode in fire, so do not burn battery for
any reason
When damaged, and under extreme usage and
temperature conditions, batteries may start to leak
- if liquid comes into contact with the skin, wash quickly
with soap and water, then with lemon juice or vinegar
- if liquid gets into the eyes, flush eyes with clean water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediately
medical attention
When battery is not in tool or charger, it should be kept
away from metal objects such as nails, screws, keys etc.
to prevent short-circuit
Do not use charger when damaged; take it to one of the
officially registered SKIL Service Stations for a safety
check
Do not use charger when cord or plug is damaged; cord
or plug should be replaced immediately at one of the
officially registered SKIL Service Stations
Do not use battery when damaged; it should be replaced
immediately
Do not disassemble charger or battery
Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries
with the charger
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of the charger to the earth terminal of the plug
If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of the
charger, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
Charging battery 6
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- plug charger into power source
- light A will turn on
- insert battery into charger
- light A will blink indicating that the battery is receiving
a charge (6a)
- after approximately 1 hour the battery is fully charged
and light A stays on after blinking, at which time the
charger automatically switches to maintenance-
charging (6b)
! remove battery from charger after charging period
has ended thereby lengthening the service life of
the battery
IMPORTANT:
- if light A does not blink after inserting a battery (6b),
this may mean:
1) that the battery is too cold or too hot (charger only
charges batteries when its temperature is between
0°C and 45°C); the charger then automatically
switches to maintenance-charging, until a
temperature between 0°C and 45°C is reached, at
which time the charger will automatically switch to
normal charging
2) that the battery should be replaced
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
- when you charge the battery for the first time, it only
accepts 80% of its maximum capacity; after several
charges and discharges, however, the batteries
should be at full capacity and deliver maximum
performance
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery efficiency
- the nickel-cadmium battery must be kept separate from
the natural environment and should not be disposed of
as normal domestic waste (symbol 5 will remind you
of this when the need for disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
Combined switch B 2 for on/off and speed control
Control the speed stepless from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the trigger
