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, 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 SCREWDRIVERS
GENERAL
• 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)
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos
is considered carcinogenic)
• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some
wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic
reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust
extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such
as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and
work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Always disconnect plug from power source before
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool

BEFORE USE

• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)

DURING USE

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the fastener
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord (fasteners
contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• When working, always hold the tool firmly and take
a secure stance (high reaction torque can briefly occur
while driving in and loosening screws)
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug

AFTER USE

• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
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 4
• Switch locking for continuous use 5
• Speed control for smooth starting 6
• Changing direction of rotation 7
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A 2
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Operating the tool
! only use bits with hexagon shaft
! do not use damaged bits
- push bit to end position in bitholder
- guide screw to screwdriving bit (screw is held in place
by magnetic bit holder)
- firmly push tip of screw into workpiece
- press trigger A and push tool forward to start screwing
or unscrewing
- adjust screwing depth, if necessary
• Adjusting screwing depth 8
- rotate sleeve E clockwise for increasing the screwing
depth
- rotate sleeve E counter-clockwise for reducing the
screwing depth
- always test out first on a piece of scrap material
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s) 9
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the tool
do the work for you
- keep ventilation slots H 2 uncovered
• Changing bit holder 0
• Hand strap !
• Belt clip @
