by hand)
•
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)
•
Ensure that direction-of-rotation selector B 2 is in the
middle (locking) position before making any adjustments
or changing accessories as well as when carrying or
storing the tool.
•
Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming
(especially when drilling metals); always use auxiliary
handle J and take a secure stance
ACCESSORIES
•
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
AFTER USE
•
When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill

USE
•
Charging battery
! read the safety warnings and instructions provided
with the charger
•
Removing/installing the battery 2
•
Battery level indicator 7
- press the battery level indicator button G to show the
current battery level 7a
! when the lowest level of the battery indicator
starts flashing after pressing button G7b, the
battery is empty
! when 2 levels of the battery indicator start flashing
after pressing button G7c, the battery is not
within the allowable operating temperature range
•
Battery protection
C
o
C
o
The tool is suddenly being switched off or prevented from
being switched on, when
- the load is too high --> remove load and restart
- the battery temperature is not within the allowable
operating temperature range of -20 to +50
levels of the battery level indicator start flashing when
pressing button G7c; wait until battery has returned
within the allowable operating temperature range
- the battery is nearly empty (to protect against
deep discharge) --> a low battery level or flashing low
battery level 7b is shown by the battery level indicator
when pressing button G; charge battery
! do not continue to press the on/off switch after the
tool is switched off automatically; battery may be
damaged
•
Changing direction of rotation 8
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch B2
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
•
Installing and removing bits 9a & 9b
! clean and lightly lubricate the SDS+ accessory
before insertion
- insert accessory in SDS+ chuck while turning and
pushing it until it engages; the accessory locks in
position automatically
- pull accessory to check that it is locked correctly
- remove accessory by pulling back locking sleeve D
! the SDS+ accessory requires freedom of
movement which causes eccentricity when tool
is off-load; however, the accessory automatically
centres itself during operation without affecting
drilling precision
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
•
Combined switch for on/off q and speed control w
- control the speed steplessly from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the switch B
•
Selecting operating mode e
- turn switch C to the desired operating mode until it
snap-locks
1 = normal drilling/screwdriving
2 = impact drilling
3 = chiseling with rotating chisel
4 = chiseling with fixed chisel
! select operating mode only when tool is switched
off and battery is removed
- the hammer mechanism is activated by applying
a slight pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in
contact with the workpiece
- it takes a short time for the hammer mechanism to
reach full impact power
- best hammer drilling results can be obtained by only a
slight pressure on the tool; drilling performance will not
improve by applying more pressure on the tool
•
Chiseling with fixed chisel r
! switch off the tool and remove the battery
- select "rotating" chiseling mode
- place chisel in desired position
- select "fixed" chiseling mode
•
LED-light t
- LED-light E automatically lights on when activating the
switch B
