GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious
injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE
REFERENCE
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work area safety
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and / or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

4
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving
parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dustrelated hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
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.
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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
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.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
SAFETY RULES FOR DRILLS
Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory
contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give
the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
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 wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or
respirator for applications which generate dust.
Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent rest periods.
Vibration caused by hammer-drill action may be harmful to your hands and arms.

5
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.
Never leave the trigger locked “ON”. Before plugging the tool in, check that the trigger
lock is “OFF”. Accidental start-ups could cause injury.
Position the cord clear of rotating bit. Do not wrap the cord around your arm or wrist.
If you lose control and have the cord wrapped around your arm or wrist it may entrap you and
cause injury.
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.
Do not use the switch “Lock-ON” feature in situations where drill bit binding is likely.
(For example: just before the bit is ready to break through the material, anytime when
using a “Hole Saw”, auger bits etc.) When the bit binds, the drill’s body will twist or kick-
back in opposite direction and the release of the trigger “Lock- ON” may be difcult.
Be aware of the location and setting of the switch “Lock-ON” button. If the switch is
locked “ON” during the use, be ready for emergency situations to switch it “OFF”, by rst
pulling the trigger then immediately releasing it without pressing the “Lock-ON” button.
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 before
switching the tool “ON”. Keys or wrenches can y away at high velocity striking you or a
bystander.
Do not run the drill while carrying it at your side. A spinning drill bit could become
entangled with clothing and injury may result.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS
GFCI and personal protection devices like electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear will further
enhance your personal safety.
Do not use AC only rated tools with a DC power supply. While the tool may appear to
work, the electrical components of the AC rated tool are likely to fail and create a hazard to
the operator.
Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery hands cannot safely control
the power tool.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body leaves it unstable and may lead to
loss of control.
Develop a periodic maintenance schedule for your tool. When cleaning a tool be careful
not to disassemble any portion of the tool since internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched or safety guard return springs may be improperly mounted. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.

6
Risk of injury to user. The power cord must only be serviced by a Skil Factory Service Center
or Autho rized Skil Service Station.
WARNING 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 chemicallytreated 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 lter out
microscopic particles.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
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. 1).
Reversing Switch Lever
The reversing switch lever is located above the trigger switch and is used to reverse rotation
of the bit. The reversing switch should only be activated when the motor is “OFF” and when bit
is at a complete standstill (Fig. 1).
To use tool in “Forward” rotation move lever to left side of tool, to “Reverse” the rotation of the
bit move the lever to the right side of the tool.
CAUTION Do not change direction of rotation until the tool comes to a complete stop.
Shifting during rotation of the chuck can cause damage to the tool.
Drill Level
Your tool is equipped with drill level located on top of the housing that will allow you to
accurately enter the workpiece in a horizontal position (Fig. 1).
USING THE LEVEL: Place drill bit where hole is to be drilled, position drill so the bubble in the
level is centered between the lines, then start drilling the hole, once the bit has entered the
workpiece check from time to time to be sure the bit is maintaining the horizontal position.
Inserting Bit
For small bits, open jaws enough to insert the
bit up to the utes. For large bits, insert the
bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as you
close the jaws by hand. This positions the bit
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten, hold the chuck collar rmly with one
hand and securely tighten the chuck sleeve
with the other hand (Fig. 2).
WARNING To prevent friction burns, or
possible hand injury, do not
loosen or tighten the chuck by using the power
of the drill.

Installing Chuck
Always keep the spindle threads, the threads of the chuck and securing screw free of debris.
To install a chuck, reverse “removing the chuck” procedure.
Operating Tips
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 rmly 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.
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.

14
Drilling Wood
Be certain workpiece is clamped or anchored rmly. 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 utes.
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.
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 rst, 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.
WARNING 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.
Wire Brushes
Work with brushes requires high speeds.
Brushing Pressure
1. Remember, the tips of a wire brush do the work. Operate the brush with the lightest
pressure so only the tips of the wire come in contact with the work.
2. If heavier pressures are used, the wires will be overstressed, resulting in a wiping action;
and if this is continued, the life of the brush will be shortened due to wire fatigue.
3. Apply the brush to the work in such a way that as much of the brush face as possible is in
full contact with the work. Applying the side or edge of the brush to the work will result in
wire breakage and shortened brush life.
15°
CORRECT: Wire tips doing the work. INCORRECT: Excessive pressure can
cause wire breakage.

15
MAINTENANCE
Service
WARNING Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized person nel may
result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could
cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Skil Factory
Service Center or Autho rized Skil Service Station.
TOOL LUBRICATION
Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated and is ready to use. It is recommended that tools
with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant at every brush change.
CARBON BRUSHES
The brushes and commutator in your tool have been engineered for many hours of
dependable service. To maintain peak efciency of the motor, we recommend every two to six
months the brush es be examined. Only genuine Skil replace ment brushes specially designed
for your tool should be used.
Cleaning
WARNING To avoid accidents always dis connect the tool from the power
supply before cleaning or performing any main tenance. The tool may
be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety gog gles when
cleaning tools with compressed air.
Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not
at tempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
CAUTION Certain cleaning agents and sol vents damage plastic parts. Some of
these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachlo ride, chlo rinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and house hold detergents that contain ammonia.
ACCESSORIES
WARNING If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size
conductors that is capable of carrying the current necessary for your
tool must be used. This will prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating.
Grounded tools must use 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong plugs and receptacles.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

AVERTISSEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX CONCERNANT LA SÉCURITÉ
DES OUTILS ÉLECTROPORTATIFS
AVERTISSEMENT Veuillez lire tous les avertissements et toutes les consignes
de sécurité. Si l’on n’observe pas ces avertissements et ces
consignes de sécurité, il existe un risque de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou de blessures
corporelles graves.
CONSERVEZ TOUS LES AVERTISSEMENTS ET TOUTES LES
CONSIGNES DE SÉCURITÉ POUR RÉFÉRENCE FUTURE.
Dans les avertissements, le terme « outil électroportatif » se rapporte à votre outil branché sur
le secteur (avec l) ou à votre outil alimenté par piles (sans l).
Sécurité du lieu de travail
Maintenez le lieu de travail propre et bien éclairé. Les risques d’accident sont plus élevés
quand on travaille dans un endroit encombré ou sombre.
N’utilisez pas d’outils électroportatifs dans des atmosphères explosives, comme par
exemple en présence de gaz, de poussières ou de liquides inammables. Les outils
électroportatifs produisent des étincelles qui risquent d’enammer les poussières ou les
vapeurs.
Éloignez les enfants et les visiteurs quand vous vous servez d’un outil électroportatif.
Vous risquez une perte de contrôle si on vous distrait.
Sécurité électrique
Les ches des outils électroportatifs doivent correspondre à la prise. Il ne faut
absolument jamais modier la che. N’utilisez pas d’adaptateur de prise avec des outils
électroportatifs munis d’une che de terre. Le risque de choc électrique est moindre si on
utilise une che non modiée sur une prise qui lui correspond.
Évitez tout contact du corps avec des surfaces reliées à la terre tels que tuyaux,
radiateurs, gazinières ou réfrigérateurs. Le risque de choc électrique augmente si votre
corps est relié à la terre.
N’exposez pas les outils électroportatifs à la pluie ou à l’humidité. Si de l’eau pénètre
dans un outil électroportatif, le risque de choc électrique augmente.
Ne maltraitez pas le cordon. Ne vous en servez jamais pour transporter l’outil
électroportatif, pour le tirer ou pour le débrancher. Éloignez le cordon de la chaleur, des
huiles, des arêtes coupantes ou des pièces mobiles. Les cordons abîmés ou emmêlés
augmentent les risques de choc électrique
Si vous utilisez un outil électroportatif à l’extérieur, employez une rallonge conçue pour
l’extérieur. Ces rallonges sont faites pour l’extérieur et réduisent le risque de choc électrique.
S’il est absolument nécessaire d’utiliser l’outil électroportatif dans un endroit humide,
utilisez une alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur de fuite de terre (GFCI). L’utilisation
d’un disjoncteur GFCI réduit les risques de choc électrique.
Sécurité personnelle
Restez concentré, faites attention à ce que vous faites, et servez-vous de votre
bon sens lorsque vous utilisez un outil électroportatif. N’employez pas d’outils
électroportatifs quand vous êtes fatigué ou sous l’emprise de drogues, d’alcool ou de
médicaments. Quand on utilise des outils électroportatifs, il suft d’un moment d’inattention
pour causer des blessures corporelles graves.

Utilisez des équipements de sécurité personnelle. Portez toujours une protection
oculaire. Le port d’équipements de sécurité tels que des masques antipoussières, des
chaussures de sécurité antidérapantes, des casques de chantier et des protecteurs d’oreilles
dans des conditions appropriées réduira le risque de blessure corporelle.
Évitez les démarrages intempestifs. Assurez-vous que l›interrupteur est dans la
position arrêt (Off) avant de brancher l›outil dans une prise de courant et/ou un bloc-
piles, de le ramasser ou de le transporter. Le transport d’un outil électroportatif avec le
doigt sur la gâchette ou le branchement de cet outil quand l’interrupteur est en position de
marche (ON) est une invite aux accidents.
Enlevez toutes les clés de réglage avant de mettre l’outil électroportatif en marche. Si
on laisse une clé sur une pièce tournante de l’outil électroportatif, il y a risque de blessure
corporelle.
Ne vous penchez pas. Conservez toujours une bonne assise et un bon équilibre. Ceci
vous permettra de mieux maîtriser l’outil électroportatif dans des situations inattendues.
Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez pas de vêtements amples ou de bijoux.
Attachez les cheveux longs. N’approchez pas les cheveux, les vêtements ou les gants
des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux longs risquent
d’être happés par les pièces en mouvement.
Si l’outil est muni de dispositifs permettant le raccordement d’un système d’aspiration
et de collecte des poussières, assurez-vous que ces dispositifs sont raccordés et
utilisés correctement. L’utilisation d’un dépoussiéreur peut réduire les dangers associés à
l’accumulation de poussière.
Utilisation et entretien des outils électroportatifs
Ne forcez pas sur l’outil électroportatif. Utilisez l’outil électroportatif qui convient à la
tâche à effectuer. L’outil qui convient à la tâche fait un meilleur travail et est plus sûr à la
vitesse pour lequel il a été conçu.
Ne vous servez pas de l’outil électroportatif si son interrupteur ne parvient pas à le
mettre en marche ou à l’arrêter. Tout outil électroportatif qui ne peut pas être commandé
par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.
Débranchez la che de la prise ou enlevez le bloc-pile de l’outil électroportatif avant
tout réglage, changement d’accessoires ou avant de ranger l’outil électroportatif. De
telles mesures de sécurité préventive réduisent le risque de démarrage intempestif de l’outil
électroportatif.
Rangez les outils électroportatifs dont vous ne vous servez pas hors de portée
des enfants et ne permettez pas à des personnes qui ne connaissent pas l’outil
électroportatif ou qui ignorent ces consignes de s’en servir. Les outils électroportatifs
sont dangereux dans les mains d’utilisateurs inexpérimentés.
Entretenez les outils électroportatifs. Vériez que les pièces mobiles sont alignées
correctement et ne coincent pas. Vériez qu’il n’y a pas de pièces cassées ou d’autre
circonstance qui risquent d’affecter le fonctionnement de l’outil électroportatif. Si l’outil
est abîmé, faites-le réparer avant de l’utiliser. De nombreux accidents sont causés par des
outils électroportatifs mal entretenus.
Maintenez les outils coupants affûtés et propres. Les outils coupants entretenus
correctement et dotés de bords tranchants affûtés sont moins susceptibles de coincer et sont
plus faciles à maîtriser.
Utilisez l’outil électroportatif, les accessoires et les embouts d’outil, etc. conformément
à ces instructions, en tenant compte des conditions de travail et des travaux à réaliser.
L’emploi d’outils électroportatifs pour des tâches différentes de celles pour lesquelles ils ont
été prévus peut résulter en une situation dangereuse.
