Skil 2372 - Manual (Page 10)

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED
TRIGGER SWITCH
Your tool is equipped with a variable speed
trigger switch. The tool can be turned "ON" or
"OFF" by squeezing or releasing the trigger.
The speed can be adjusted from the minimum
to maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure
you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure
to increase the speed and release pressure to
decrease speed (Fig. 3).
STALL PROTECTION
This tool has a stall protection feature built
into it to protect the motor and battery in the
event of a stall. During operation, if you stall
the tool for too long or repeatedly, it will
automatically turn itself off. Simply
release
the trigger switch for 3 seconds, then
squeeze the trigger switch to continue
operation. When the battery becomes close
to empty, the tool may shut down
automatically more frequently than normal. If
this happens, it is time to recharge the battery.
FORWARD/REVERSING
LEVER & TRIGGER LOCK
After tool use, lock trigger in
“OFF” position to help prevent
accidental starts and accidental discharge.
Your tool is equipped with a forward/
reversing lever and trigger lock located above
the trigger (Fig. 3). This lever was designed
for changing rotation of the bit, and for locking
the trigger in an “OFF” position.
FORWARD/REVERSE INDICATOR LIGHTS
Your tool is equipped with lights which
indicate the rotation of the bit.
For forward rotation, (with bit pointed
away from you) move the lever to the far left
and a green indicator light depicting a forward
arrow will light up.
For reverse rotation move the lever to the
far right and the green indicator light depicting
a reverse arrow will light up.
To stop in either direction just release the trigger.
To activate trigger lock move lever to the center
off position (Fig. 3).
The Skil model 2362 Cordless Drill/Driver has a
chuck that accepts only standard 1/4”
hexagonal shank accessories with power
groove. The low RPM capability of this model is
not a deficiency. On the contrary, low speed
means high torque and high torque is a definite
plus for efficient drilling and driving. The low
speed also provides more control to prevent
stripout of the screw and damage to the work
surface.
INSERTING AND REMOVING
ACCESSORIES
To avoid loss of control,
ensure bit is locked in chuck
by pulling on bit after it has been inserted.
Your tool is equipped with a quick release
chuck. To insert an accessory, simply pull
locking sleeve forward, insert desired
accessory into chuck and release locking
sleeve (Fig. 4).
To remove an accessory, pull locking sleeve
forward and simply remove it from the chuck.
One inch bits should only be used along
with a bit holder as shown in figure 4.
