  If your Skil Power Tool won't start, there are several potential causes: * The power cord may not be properly plugged in. Ensure the tool is connected to a functioning power source. * The fuse in your power source might have blown, or the circuit breaker could have tripped. Replace the fuse or reset the breaker. If this happens repeatedly, stop using the tool and have it checked by an authorized Skil service center. * The cord could be damaged. Inspect it carefully, and if you find any damage, have it replaced by a qualified Skil service center. * The switch might be burned out. In this case, have the switch replaced by an authorized Skil service center.

  If your Skil Power Tool isn't reaching its full speed, it could be due to: 1. Using an extension cord that's either too long or doesn't have a sufficient gauge. Replace it with a suitable extension cord. 2. Low house voltage. In this case, it's best to contact your electric company to resolve the issue.
