d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool's
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) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.
Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or
burns.
6) 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 CORDLESS DRILL/
DRIVERS
• 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
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from
power source
• 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
• 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)
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring
or its own cord (cutting accessory and 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)
• 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
• Ensure that switch B 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

with the tool
• Do not touch the contacts in the charger
• Do not expose tool/charger/battery to rain
• Do not charge battery in damp or wet environments
• Store tool/charger/battery in locations where
temperature will not exceed 40°C or drop below 0°C
• Do not use charger when damaged; take it to one of the

check
• Do not use charger when cord or plug is damaged; cord
or plug should be replaced immediately at one of the
officially registered SKIL Service Stations
