SAFETY
Read and save this instruction manual (pay special
G
attention to the safety instructions at the back)
Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
G
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool
G
When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
G
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
G
capacity of 16 Amps (UK 13 Amps)
In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
G
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
G
when original accessories are used
Before using accessories always compare the maximum
G
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
G
16 years
Be careful not to drill or drive into areas where
G
electrical wires may be contacted; always use
auxiliary handle G2
The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);
G
wear ear protection
If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
G
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
Never use tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced
G
by a qualified person
Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
G
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
G
sudden, dangerous reaction), immediately switch off the
tool
Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming
G
(especially when drilling metals); always use auxiliary
handle G2 and take a secure stance
Always disconnect plug from power source before
G
making any adjustment or changing any accessory

Speed control for smooth starting 5
G
Maximum speed control 6a
G
2 Mechanical speeds 6b
G
! 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 6c can be
G
used as reference
Changing direction of rotation 7
G
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
Normal drilling/screwdriving versus hammer drilling 8
G
! select drilling function only when tool is switched
off
Changing bits 9
G
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
Adjusting drilling depth 0
G
Holding and guiding the tool !
G
! always use auxiliary handle G2
- keep the ventilation slots uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the
tool do the work for you
APPLICATION ADVICE
Use the appropriate bits @
G
! only use sharp bits
When drilling ferrous metals
G
- pre-drill a smaller hole, when a large hole is required
- lubricate drill bit occasionally with oil
When turning in a screw at/near the cross cut end or an
G
edge of wood, pre-drill a hole in order to avoid cracking
of the wood
