battery
● In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from

● 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

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
● Charging battery 5
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
! remove battery from charger after charging period
has ended thereby lengthening the service life of
the battery
IMPORTANT:
- 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 charge at temperatures below 0° C and over
40° C; this will seriously damage the battery as well
as the charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
- when you charge the battery for the first time, it only
accepts 80% of its maximum capacity; after several
charges and discharges, however, the batteries
should be at full capacity and deliver maximum
performance
- do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a
few minutes of operation; this may result in a
reduction of operating time and battery efficiency
- the nickel-cadmium battery must be kept separate from
the natural environment and should not be disposed of
as normal domestic waste (symbol 6 will remind you
of this when the need for disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
● On/Off 7
● Speed control for smooth starting 8
● Changing direction of rotation 9
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
● Changing bits 0
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
