6) SERVICE
a) 
person using only identical replacement parts. This 
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged battery packs. Service 
of battery packs should only be performed by the 
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORDLESS DRILL/
DRIVERS
1) SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ALL OPERATIONS
a) Wear ear protectors when impact drilling. Exposure 
to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, 
when performing an operation where the cutting 
accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring. 
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.
2) SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WHEN USING LONG DRILL 
BITS
a) Never operate at higher speed than the maximum 
speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is 
likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting 
the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
b) Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit 
tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, 
the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without 
contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury.
c) Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do 
not apply excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing 
breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.
GENERAL
• 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 classied 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
• Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos 
is considered carcinogenic)
• Ensure that switch E 2is in the middle (locking) position 
before making any adjustments or changing accessories 
as well as when carrying or storing the tool
ACCESSORIES
• SKIL can assure awless 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
BEFORE USE
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and 
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before 
you start working
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with 
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than 
by hand)
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn 
 Any power tool that cannot be controlled 
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from 
the power tool before making any adjustments, 
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such 
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the 
power tool accidentally.
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 and accessories. Check for 
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage 
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 dierent 
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean 
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and 
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and 
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type 
of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with 
another battery pack.
b) 
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may 
create a risk of injury and re.
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 re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact 
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid 
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged 
 Damaged or modied batteries may exhibit 
unpredictable behaviour resulting in re, explosion or risk 
of injury.
f) 
excessive temperature. Exposure to re or temperature 
above 130°C may cause explosion.
g) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge 
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature 
 Charging 
improperly or at temperatures outside the specied range 
may damage the battery and increase the risk of re.
