c) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
d) 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.
e) 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 DRILL/
DRIVERS
● 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)
● 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
● 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
● Be careful not to drill or drive into areas where electrical
wires may be contacted
● Ensure that switch F 57is 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 touch the contacts in the charger
● Do not expose tool/charger/battery to rain
● Never charge battery outdoors 3
● Store tool/charger/battery in locations where
temperature will not exceed 40° C or drop below 0° C
● Batteries will explode in fire, so do not burn battery for
any reason
● When damaged, and under extreme usage and
temperature conditions, batteries may start to leak
- if liquid comes into contact with the skin, wash quickly
with soap and water, then with lemon juice or vinegar
- if liquid gets into the eyes, flush eyes with clean water
for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediately
medical attention
● When battery is not in tool or charger, it should be kept
away from metal objects such as nails, screws, keys etc.
to prevent short-circuit
● Do not use 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
● Do not use battery when damaged; it should be replaced
immediately
● Do not disassemble charger or battery
● Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries
with the charger
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
● Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of the charger to the earth terminal of the
plug
● If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of the
charger, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended
USE
● Combined switch A 5 for on/off and speed control
Control the speed stepless from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the trigger
● Charging battery 6
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- plug charger into power source
- light B will turn on
- insert battery into charger
- light B will blink indicating that the battery is receiving
a charge (6a)
- after approximately 1 hour the battery is fully charged
and light B stays on after blinking, at which time the
charger automatically switches to maintenance-
charging (6b)
! remove battery from charger after charging period
has ended thereby lengthening the service life of
the battery
IMPORTANT:
- if light B does not blink after inserting a battery (6b),
this may mean:
1) that the battery is too cold or too hot (charger only
charges batteries when its temperature is between
0°C and 45°C); the charger then automatically
switches to maintenance-charging, until a
temperature between 0°C and 45°C is reached, at
which time the charger will automatically switch to
normal charging
2) that the battery should be replaced
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- ensure that the outside surface of the battery is clean
and dry before inserting into charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
