c) 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.
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 dierent
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) 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 HAMMERS
• Wear ear protectors (exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss)
• Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool
(loss of control can cause personal injury)
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• When you put away the tool, switch o the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch o the tool and disconnect the plug
• SKIL can assure awless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• If the drill bit becomes unexpectedly jammed (causing a
sudden, dangerous reaction), immediately switch o
the tool
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to re or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord (a cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock)
• 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)
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualied person
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with
a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
• Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming
(especially when drilling metals); always use auxiliary
handle G 2and take a secure stance
• Alwaysdisconnectplugfrompowersourcebefore
making any adjustment or changing any accessory
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut o the cord of this tool,
it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
• On/o 4
• Maximum speed control 5
With wheel B the maximum speed can be adjusted from
low to high (1-6)
• Activating rotation switch C 6

- turn switch C along the bottom side to position “1” until
it snap-locks
! do not turn switch C along the upper side
! start working only when switch C is locked
