Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Abattery operated tool with integral
batteries or a separate battery pack must
be recharged only with the specified
charger for the battery. Acharger that may
be suitable for one type of battery may create
arisk of fire when used with another battery.
Use battery operated tool only with
specifically designated battery pack. Use
of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. Amoment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry,
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is in the locked or off position before
inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or inserting the
battery pack into a tool with the switch on
invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. Awrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enable better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
on or off. Atool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or place
the switch in the locked or off position
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

Safety Rules for Cordless Drills/Drivers
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tool's
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool may create a risk of
injury when used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel may result in a risk of injury.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
shock or injury.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the
cutting tools may contact hidden wiring.
Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the
operator.
Do not drill, fasten or break into
existing walls or other blind areas where
electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is
unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit
breakers feeding this worksite.
Always use auxiliary handle for maximum
control over torque reaction or kick-back.
High torque 3/8" and larger chuck capacity
drills are equipped with auxiliary handles.
Always wear safety goggles or eye
protection when using this tool. Use a
dust mask or respirator for applications
which generate dust.
Secure the material being drilled. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs.
Unstable support can cause the drill bit to
bind causing loss of control and injury.
Disconnect battery pack from tool or
place the switch in the locked or off
position before making any assembly,
adjustments or changing accessories.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Position yourself to avoid being caught
between the tool or side handle and walls
or posts. Should the bit become bound or
jammed in the work, the reaction torque of
the tool could crush your hand or leg.
If the bit becomes bound in the
workpiece, release the trigger
immediately, reverse the direction of
rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to
back out the bit. Be ready for a strong
reaction torque. The drill body will tend to
twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is
rotating.
Do not grasp the tool or place your hands
too close to the spinning chuck or drill
bit. Your hand may be lacerated.
When installing a drill bit, insert the shank
of the bit well within the jaws of the
chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep
enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is
reduced and the loss of control is increased.
Do not use dull or damaged bits and
accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a
greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.
When removing the bit from the tool avoid
contact with skin and use proper
protective gloves when grasping the bit or
accessory. Accessories may be hot after
prolonged use.
Check to see that keys and adjusting
wrenches are removed from the drill
SM 1619X00347 11-04 11/9/04 10:43 AM Page 3

Battery/Charger
before switching the tool "ON". Keys or
wrenches can fly away at high velocity
striking you or a bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at
your side. Aspinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
This tool may be used with sanding and
polishing disks, grinding wheels, wire
wheel and wire cup brushes. These
accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning
label. Wheels and other accessories running
over rated speed can fly apart and cause
injury.
Avoid bouncing and snagging the wheels,
discs or brushes especially when working
corners, sharp edges, etc. This can cause
loss of control and kickback.
Use a stud sensor to determine where
studs may be located. The stud sensor
may also be able to detect other objects
hidden in a wall such as conduit, gas or
water pipes. If you are uncertain about
the work area call the local utility
company for assistance before beginning
the project. Striking or cutting into a gas
line will result in explosion. Water entering
an electrical device may cause electrocution.
Cutting into live electrical wiring may cause a
shock hazard.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
•Lead from lead-based paints,
•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

out of handle base (Fig. 1). To insert battery,
align battery and slide battery pack into tool
until it locks into position. Do not force.
CHARGING BATTERY PACK
(STANDARD CHARGER)
Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then slide battery pack into charger
(Fig. 6). The charger’s green light will turn
“ON”. The green light remains ‘‘ON’’ as long as
charger is plugged in, and does not shut off.
After normal usage, the battery pack requires
approximately 3 hours or less charging time
to become fully charged. If the battery pack
is run-down completely, it may require up to
5hours charging time to become fully
charged.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slide the battery
pack back into the tool handle.
SM 1619X00347 11-04 11/9/04 10:43 AM Page 10

Plug charger cord into your standard power
outlet, then slide the battery pack into charger
(Fig. 7).
The charger’s green indicator will begin to
“BLINK”. This indicates that the battery is
receiving a fast charge. Fast-charging will
automatically stop when the battery pack is
fully charged.
When the indicator light stops “BLINKING”
(and becomes a steady green light) fast
charging is complete.
When you begin the charging process of the
battery pack, a steady green light could also
mean the battery pack is too hot or too cold.
The purpose of the light is to indicate that the
battery pack is fast-charging. It does not
indicate the exact point of full charge. The
light will stop blinking in less time if the
battery pack was not completely discharged.
When the battery pack is fully charged,
unplug the charger (unless you're charging
another battery pack) and slip the battery
pack back into the tool handle.

IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES
1. The battery pack accepts only about 80%
of its maximum capacity with its first few
charge cycles. However, after the first few
charge cycles, the battery will charge to full
capacity.
2. The charger was designed to fast charge
the battery only when the battery
temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and
105˚F (41˚C).
3. A substantial drop in operating time per
charge may mean that the battery pack is
nearing the end of its life and should be
replaced.
4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month
or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to
run your tool down until it is fully discharged
before storing your battery pack. After a long
period of storage, the capacity at first recharge
will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored
in two or three charge/discharge cycles.
Remember to unplug charger during storage
period.
5. If battery does not charge properly:
a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging
in some other electrical device.
b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a
light switch which turns power “off” when
lights are turned off.
c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt.
Clean with cotton swab if necessary.
d. If you still do not get proper charging,
take or send tool, battery pack and charger
to your local Skil Service Center.
Note: Use of charger’s or battery packs not
sold by Skil will void the warranty.

DRILL BITS
Always inspect drill bits for excessive wear.
Use only bits that are sharp and in good
condition.
TWIST BITS: Available with straight and
reduced shanks for wood and light duty metal
drilling. High speed bits cut faster and last
longer on hard materials.
CARBIDE TIPPED BITS: Used for drilling
stone, concrete, plaster, cement and other
unusually hard nonmetals. Use continuous
heavy feed pressure when employing carbide
tip bits.
DRILLING WOOD
Be certain workpiece is clamped or anchored
firmly. Always apply pressure in a straight line
with the drill bit. Maintain enough pressure to
keep the drill “biting”.
When drilling holes in wood, twist bits can be
used. Twist bits may overheat unless pulled out
frequently to clear chips from flutes.
Use a “back-up” block of wood for work that is
likely to splinter, such as thin materials.
You will drill a cleaner hole if you ease up on
the pressure just before the bit breaks through
the wood. Then complete the hole from the
back side.
You will extend the life of your bits and do
neater work if you always put the bit in
contact with the work before pulling the
trigger. During the operation, hold the tool
firmly and exert light, steady pressure. Too
much pressure at low speed will stall the
tool. Too little pressure will keep the bit from
cutting and cause excess friction by sliding
over the surface. This can be damaging to
both tool and bit.
DRILLING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
The trigger controlled variable speed feature
will eliminate the need for center punches in
hard materials. The variable speed trigger
allows you to slowly increase RPM. By using
aslow starting speed, you are able to keep
the bit from “wandering”. You can increase
the speed as the bit “bites” into the work by
squeezing the trigger.
DRIVING WITH VARIABLE SPEED
Variable speed drills will double as a power
screwdriver by using a screwdriver bit in the
drill mode. The technique is to start slowly,
increasing the speed as the screw runs
down. Set the screw snugly by slowing to a
stop. Prior to driving screws, pilot and
clearance holes should be drilled.
FASTENING WITH SCREWS
This procedure shown in (Fig. 12) will enable
you to fasten materials together with your
Cordless Drill/Screwdriver without stripping,
splitting or separating the material.
First, clamp the pieces together and drill the
first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the
material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper
length. If it is hard, drill the entire length.
Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the
second hole the same diameter as the screw
shank in the first or top piece of wood.
Third, if flat head screw is used, countersink
the hole to make the screw flush with the
surface. Then, simply apply even pressure
when driving the screw. The screw shank
clearance hole in the first piece allows the
screw head to pull the pieces tightly together.
The adjustable screw drill accessory will do
all of these operations quickly and easily.
Screw drills are available for screw sizes No.
6, 8, 10 and 12.
2. Drill same
diameter as
screw shank.
3. Countersink
same diameter
as screw head.

DRILLING METAL
There are two rules for drilling hard materials.
First, the harder the material, the greater the
pressure you need to apply to the tool. Second,
the harder the material, the slower the speed.
Here are a couple of tips for drilling in metal.
Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally with
cutting oil except when drilling soft metals such
as aluminum, copper or cast iron. If the hole to
be drilled is fairly large, drill a smaller hole first,
then enlarge to the required size, it’s often
faster in the long run. Maintain enough
pressure to assure that the bit does not just
spin in the hole. This will dull the bit and greatly
shorten its life.
DRILLING MASONRY
Soft materials such as brick are relatively easy
to drill. Concrete however, will require much
more pressure to keep the bit from spinning. Be
sure to use carbide tip bits for all masonry work.
Before using an accessory,
be certain that its maximum
safe operating speed is not exceeded by the
nameplate speed of the tool. Do not exceed
the recommended wheel diameter.
RUNNING NUTS AND BOLTS
Variable speed control must be used with
caution for driving nuts and bolts with socket
set attachments. The technique is to start
slowly, increasing speed as the nut or bolt runs
down. Set the nut or bolt snugly by slowing the
drill to a stop. If this procedure is not followed,
the tool will have a tendency to torque or twist
in your hands when the nut or bolt seats.

Service
NO USER SERVICEABLE
PARTS INSIDE. Preventive
maintenance performed by unauthorized
personnel may result in misplacing of
internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard. We recom-
mend that all tool service be performed by a
Skil Factory Service Center or Authorized Skil
Service Station. SERVICEMEN: Disconnect
tool and/or charger from power source before
servicing.
BATTERIES
Be alert for battery packs that are nearing
their end of life. If you notice decreased
tool performance or significantly shorter
running time between charges then it is time
to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so
can cause the tool to operate improperly or
damage the charger.
Long term battery storage should be in
the discharged state. Battery packs last
longer and re-charge better when they are
stored discharged. Remember to fully re-
charge battery packs before using after
prolonged storage.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated
and is ready for use.
D.C. MOTORS
The motor in your tool has been engineered
for many hours of dependable service. To
maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we
recommend it be examined every six months.
Only a genuine Skil replacement motor
specially designed for your tool should be
used.
Cleaning
To avoid accidents, always
disconnect the tool and/or
charger from the power supply before
cleaning. The tool may be cleaned most
effectively with compressed dry air. Always
wear safety goggles when cleaning tools
with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must
be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do
not attempt to clean by inserting pointed
objects through opening.
Certain cleaning agents
and solvents damage
plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning
solvents, ammonia and household detergents
that contain ammonia.

Vous devez lire et comprendre toutes les instructions. Le non-respect, même
partiel, des instructions ci-après entraîne un risque de choc életrique, d'incendie et/ou
de blessures graves.
CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS
AVERTISSEMENT
!
Aire de travail
Veillez à ce que l'aire de travail soit propre et bien
éclairée. Le désordre et le manque de lumière
favorisent les accidents.
N'utilisez pas d'outils électriques dans une
atmosphère explosive, par exemple enprésence de
liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les
outils électriques créent des étincelles qui pourraient
enflammer les poussières ou les vapeurs.
Tenez à distance les curieux, les enfants et les
visiteurs pendant que vous travaillez avec un outil
électrique. Ils pourraient vous distraire et vous faire
faire une fausse manoeuvre.
Sécurité électrique
Un outil à pile avec piles incorporées ou bloc-pile
distinct doit être rechargé uniquement avec le
chargeur indiqué pour la pile. Un chargeur qui peut
être adéquat pour un type de pile peut créer un risque
d'incendie lorsqu'il est utilisé avec une autre pile.
Utiliser un outil à pile uniquement avec le bloc-pile
désigné spécifiquement. L'emploi de toute autre pile
peut créer un risque d'incendie.
Sécurité des personnes
Restez alerte, concentrez-vous sur votre travail et
faites preuve de jugement. N'utilisez pas un outil
électrique si vous êtes fatigué ou sous l'influence de
drogues, d'alcool ou de médicaments. Un instant
d'inattention suffit pour entraîner des blessures graves.
Habillez-vous convenablement. Ne portez ni
vêtements flottants ni bijoux. Confinez les cheveux
longs. N'approchez jamais les cheveux, les
vêtements ou les gants des pièces en mouvement.
Des vêtements flottants, des bijoux ou des cheveux
longs risquent d'être happés par des pièces en
mouvement.
Évitez la mise en marche accidentelle. Assurez-vous
que l'interrupteur est en position de blocage ou
d'arrêt avant d'insérer le bloc-pile. Il est dangereux
de transporter l'outil avec le doigt sur l'interrupteur ou
d'insérer le bloc-pile dans un outil alors que
l'interrupteur est en position de marche.
Enlevez les clés de réglage ou de serrage avant de
démarrer l'outil. Une clé laissée dans une pièce
tournante de l'outil peut provoquer des blessures.
Ne vous penchez pas trop en avant. Maintenez un bon
appui et restez en équilibre entout temps. Un bonne
stabilité vous permet de mieux réagir à une situation
inattendue.
Utilisez des accessoires de sécurité. Portez toujours
des lunettes ou une visière. Selon les conditions,
portez aussi un masque antipoussière, des bottes de
sécurité antidérapantes, un casque protecteur et/ou un
appareil antibruit.
Utilisation et entretien des outils
Immobilisez le matériau sur une surface stable au
moyen de brides ou de toute autre façon adéquate. Le
fait de tenir la pièce avec la main ou contre votre corps
offre une stabilité insuffisante et peut amener un
dérapage de l'outil.
Ne forcez pas l'outil. Utilisez l'outil approprié à la
tâche. L'outil correct fonctionne mieux et de façon plus
sécuritaire. Respectez aussi la vitesse de travail qui lui
est propre.
N'utilisez pas l'outil si l'interrupteur ne le met pas
en marche ou à l'arrêt. Un outil qui ne peut être
contrôlé par l'interrupteur est dangereux et doit être
réparé.
Débranchez le bloc-pile de l'outil ou mettez
l'interrupteur en position de blocage ou d'arrêt avant
d'effectuer tout réglage, de changer les accessoires
ou de remiser l'outil. Ces mesures de sécurité
préventives réduisent le risque d'une mise en marche
accidentelle de l'outil.
Rangez les outils hors de la portée des enfants et
d'autres personnes inexpérimentées. Les outils sont
dangereux dans les mains d'utilisateurs novices.
Lorsque le bloc-pile n'est pas en usage, tenez-le à
l'écart d'autres objets métalliques tels que
trombones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous, vis ou
autres petits objets métalliques susceptibles
d'établir une connexion d'une borne à une autre. Le
court-circuitage des bornes de batterie ensemble peut
causer des étincelles, des brûlures ou un incendie.

Prenez soin de bien entretenir les outils. Les outils de
coupe doivent être toujours bien affûtés et propres.
Des outils bien entretenus, dont les arêtes sont bien
tranchantes, sont moins susceptibles de coincer et plus
faciles à diriger.
Soyez attentif à tout désalignement ou coincement
des pièces en mouvement, à tout bris ou à toute autre
condition préjudiciable au bon fonctionnement de
l'outil. Si vous constatez qu'un outil est endommagé,
faites-le réparer avant de vous en servir. De
nombreux accidents sont causés par des outils en
mauvais état.
N'utilisez que des accessoires que le fabricant
recommande pour votre modèle d'outil. Certains
accessoires peuvent convenir à un outil, mais être
dangereux avec un autre.
Réparation
La réparation des outils électriques doit être confiée à
un réparateur qualifié. L'entretien ou la réparation d'un
outil électrique par un amateur peut avoir des
conséquences graves.
Pour la réparation d'un outil, n'employez que des
pièces de rechange d'origine. Suivez les directives
données à la section « Réparation » de ce manuel.
L'emploi de pièces non autorisées ou le non-respect
des instructions d'entretien peut créer un risque de
choc électrique ou de blessures.
Consignes de sécurité pour perceuses/tournevis sans cordon
Tenez l'outil par les surfaces isolées de préhension
en exécutant une opération au cours de laquelle
l'outil de coupe peut venir en contact avec les fils
cachés. Le contact avec un fil sous tension rendra
les pièces métalliques exposées de l'outil sous
tension et causera des chocs à l'opérateur. Ne percez,
fixez et ne rentrez pas dans des murs existants ou
autres endroits aveugles pouvant abriter des fils
électriques. Si cette situation est inévitable,
débranchez tous les fusibles ou les disjoncteurs
alimentant ce site.
Utilisez toujours la poignée auxiliaire pour un
contrôle maximal sur la réaction de couple ou le
rebond. Les perceuses de 10 mm à haut couple et les
perceuses avec mandrin à plus grande capacité sont
équipées de poignées auxiliaires.
Portez toujours des lunettes à coques latérales ou
des lunettes de protection en utilisant cet outil.
Utilisez un respirateur ou un masque anti-
poussières pour les applications produisant de la
poussière.
Assujettissez l'ouvrage à percer. Ne le tenez jamais
dans votre main ou par-dessus vos jambes. Un
support instable peut faire gripper le foret,
provoquant ainsi une perte de contrôle et des
blessures.
Débranchez le bloc-pile de l'outil ou placez
l'interrupteur à la position de blocage ou d'arrêt
avant d'effectuer tout assemblage ou réglage ou de
changer les accessoires. Ces mesures de sécurité
préventives réduisent le risque d'une mise en marche
accidentelle de l'outil.
Placez-vous de manière à éviter d'être pris entre
l'outil ou la poignée latérale et les murs ou les
montants. Si le foret se coince ou grippe dans
l'ouvrage, le couple de réaction de l'outil pourrait
écraser votre main ou votre pied.
Si le foret grippe dans l'ouvrage, relâchez la
gâchette immédiatement, inversez le sens de
rotation et appuyez lentement sur la gâchette pour
faire ressortir le foret. Soyez prêt à un fort couple de
réaction. Le corps de la perceuse aura tendance à
tordre en sens opposé à mesure que le foret tourne.
Ne saisissez pas l'outil et ne placez vos mains trop
près du foret ou du mandrin en rotation. Votre main
pourrait être lacérée.
En installant un foret, insérez la tige du foret bien à
l'intérieur des mâchoires du mandrin. Si le foret
n'est pas inséré assez profondément, la prise des
mâchoires sur le foret est réduite et la perte de
contrôle est accrue.
N'utilisez pas de forets et d'accessoires émoussés
ou endommagés. Les forets émoussés ou
endommagés ont tendance à gripper dans l'ouvrage.
En retirant le foret de l'outil, évitez tout contact
avec la peau et utilisez des gants protecteurs
appropriés en saisissant le foret ou l'accessoire.
Les accessoires peuvent être chauds après une
utilisation prolongée.
Assurez-vous que les clés de serrage et de réglage
sont retirées de la perceuse avant de mettre l'outil
en marche. Les clés de serrage ou de réglage
peuvent être projetées à grande vitesse et frapper une
personne présente ou vous-même.
Ne faites pas fonctionner la perceuse en la portant
àvotre côté. Un foret en rotation pourrait
s'emmêlever à vos vêtements, ce qui pourrait causer
des blessures.

Cet outil peut être utilisé avec les disques de
ponçage et de polissage, les meules, les brosses à
coupe métallique et à meule métallique. Ces
accessoires doivent être au moins prévus pour la
vitesse recommandée sur l’étiquette
d’avertissement de l’outil. Les meules et les autres
accessoires fonctionnant à une vitesse supérieure à la
vitesse nominale peuvent voler en éclats et causer des
blessures.
Évitez de faire rebondir et de heurter les meules,
les disques ou les brossses, surtout lorsque vous
travaillez sur des angles, des arêtes vives, etc. Ceci
peut causer une perte de contrôle et un rebond.
Les localisateurs de poteaux peuvent détecter
d’autres objets en plus des poteaux comme par
exemple des fils électriques ou des tuyaux en métal
ou en plastique. Si l’outil entre en contact avec un fil
sous tension, ses pièces exposées en métal seront
également sous tension et produiront un choc
électrique à l’utilisateur.
Normalement, les poteaux sont espacés soit de 16 po,
soit de 24 po et mesurent 1 1/2 po de largeur.
Méfiez-vous si vous trouvez des objets plus
rapprochés ou d’une largeur différente. Coupez
toujours l’électricité avant d’effectuer des travaux à
proximité de fils électriques.
Les travaux à la machine
tel que ponçage, sciage,
meulage, perçage et autres travaux du bâtiment
peuvent créer des poussières contenant des produits
chimiques qui sont des causes reconnues de cancer,
de malformation congénitale ou d’autres problèmes
reproductifs. Ces produits chimiques sont, par
exemple :
•Le plomb provenant des peintures à base de plomb,
•Les cristaux de silices provenant des briques et du
ciment et d’autres produits de maçonnerie, et
•L’arsenic et le chrome provenant des bois traités
chimiquement.
Le niveau de risque dû à cette exposition varie avec la
fréquence de ces types de travaux. Pour réduire
l’exposition à ces produits chimiques, il faut travailler
dans un lieu bien ventilé et porter un équipement de
sécurité approprié tel que certains masques à poussière
conçus spécialement pour filtrer les particules
microscopiques.
Chargeur de pile
Avant d'utiliser le chargeur de pile, lisez toutes les
consignes et tous les marquages d'avertissement
sur (1) le chargeur de pile, (2) le bloc-pile et (3) le
produit utilisant la pile.
N'utilisez que le chargeur qui accompagnait votre
produit ou remplacement direct, comme indiqué
dans le catalogue ou ce manuel. Ne substituez aucun
autre chargeur. N’utiliser que les chargeurs approuvés
par Skil avec votre produit. Voir Description
fonctionnelle et Spécifications.
Ne désassemblez pas le chargeur et ne l'utilisez pas
s'il a reçu un choc violent, s'il est tombé ou s'il a
été endommagé par ailleurs. Remplacez
immédiatement les cordons ou les fiches abîmés.
Un remontage incorrect ou des dommages peuvent
provoquer un incendie ou des secousses électriques.
Ne rechargez pas la pile dans un environnement
mouillé ou humide. N'exposez pas le chargeur à la
pluie ou la neige. Si le boîtier de la pile est fissuré
ou endommagé par ailleurs, ne l'insérez pas dans le
chargeur. Il pourrait y avoir un incendie ou un court-
circuit de pile.
Ne charger que des piles rechargeables approuvées
par Skil. Voir Description fonctionnelle et
Spécifications. Les autres types de piles peuvent
éclater causant ainsi des blessures et des dommages.
Chargez le bloc-pile à des températures de plus de 4
degrés C (+40°F) et de moins de 41 degrés C
(+105°F). Rangez l'outil et le bloc-pile à des
endroits dont la température ne dépasse pas 49
degrés C (+120°F). Ceci est important pour prévenir
des dommages considérables aux éléments des piles.
Il peut y avoir une fuite de pile dans des conditions
extrêmes d'utilisation ou de température. Évitez tout
contact avec la peau et les yeux. Le liquide de pile
est caustique et pourrait causer des brûlures
chimiques aux tissus. Si le liquide vient en contact
avec la peau, lavez rapidement à l'eau savonneuse,
puis au jus de citron ou au vinaigre. Si le liquide vient
en contact avec les yeux, rincez-les à l'eau pendant au
moins 10 minutes et sollicitez des soins médicaux.
Posez le chargeur sur une surface plate
inflammable et à distance de matériaux
inflammables lorsqu’on recharge un bloc-piles. Le
chargeur et le bloc-piles s’échauffent pendant la
charge. Le coussinet de mousse souple et autres
surfaces isolantes empêchent la circulation normale
de l’air, ce qui peut provoquer une surchauffe du
chargeur et du bloc-piles. S’il y a dégagement de
fumée ou si le boîtier fond, débranchez le chargeur
immédiatement et n’utilisez ni le chargeur, ni le bloc-
piles.
L'utilisation d'un accessoire non recommandé ni
vendu par Skil peut causer des risques d'incendie,
de chocs électriques ou de lésions corporelles.

Lorsque les piles ne sont
pas dans l’outil ou le
chargeur, gardez-les à l’écart d’objets métalliques.
Ainsi, pour éviter un court-circuitage des bornes, NE
PLACEZ PAS les piles dans la boîte à outils ou dans la
poche avec des clous, des vis, des clés, etc. Ceci peut
provoquer un incendie ou des blessures.
NE METTEZ PAS LES PILES AU FEU ET NE LES
EXPOSEZ PAS À UNE CHALEUR ÉLEVÉE. Elles peuvent
exploser.
Entretien des piles
Ne tentez pas de
désassembler le bloc-piles
ou d’enlever tout composant faisant saillie des
bornes de piles, ce qui peut provoquer un incendie ou
des blessures. Avant la mise au rebut, protégez les
bornes exposées à l’aide d’un ruban isolant épais pour
prévenir le court-circuitage.
