SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CORDLESS SCREWDRIVERS
• Avoid damage that can be caused by
screws, nails and other elements in
your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Always check that the supply voltage
is the same as the voltage indicated
on the nameplate of the charger
• Hold power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring
(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
ire or electrical shock; damaging a
gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause
property damage or an electrical
shock)
• 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 classiied 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
• In case of electrical or mechanical
malfunction, immediately switch of
the tool or unplug charger from power
source
• SKIL can assure lawless functioning
of the tool only when original
accessories are used
• The tool/charger is not intended for
use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless
they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the tool/
charger by a person responsible for
their safety
• Ensure that children do not play with
the tool/charger
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece
clamped with clamping devices or in a
vice is held more securely than by
hand)
• Do not use tool/charger when
damaged; take it to one of the oicially
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
oicially registered SKIL Service
Stations
• Ensure that switch E 2 is in the
middle (locking) position before
making any adjustments or changing
accessories as well as when carrying
or storing the tool
CHARGING/BATTERIES
• Charge battery only with the charger
that is supplied with the tool
• Do not expose tool/charger to rain
• Store tool/charger in locations where
temperature will not exceed 40°C or
drop below 0°C
• Explanation of symbols on charger
3 Read the instruction manual before
use
4 Only use the charger indoors
5 Double insulation (no earth wire
required)
6 Automatic shut-of when charger
gets too hot (thermic fuse blows
and charger becomes useless)
7 Incorrect polarity of the charger
connection could cause a hazard
(only charge the battery with the
charger supplied)
8 Do not dispose of the charger
