b) 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.
c) 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 finger
on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or
wrench before turning the power
tool on. Awrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal
injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) 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
dust-related hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) 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.
b) 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.
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
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 SCREWDRIVERS
• 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
(chargers with a rating of 230V or
240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
• Hold power tool by insulated
gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the
fastener may contact hidden wiring
(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
• 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
• 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)
• Do not use tool/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
• 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
CHARGING/BATTERIES
• Charge battery only with the charger
that is supplied with the tool
• Do not expose tool/charger to rain
