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

• Charge battery only with the charger that is supplied 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

• Batteries may explode when disposed of in fire, so do not

burn battery for any reason

• Do not use charger when damaged; take it to one of the

officially 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

officially registered SKIL Service Stations

• Do not use battery when damaged; it should be

replaced immediately

• Do not disassemble charger or battery

• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries

with the charger
