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 dierent

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 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

• 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)

• 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 classied 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

• 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 qualied 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)

• If the drill bit becomes unexpectedly jammed (causing a

sudden, dangerous reaction), immediately switch o the

tool

• Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming

(especially when drilling metals); always use auxiliary

handle H 2 and take a secure stance

• Alwaysdisconnectplugfrompowersourcebefore

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

• Switch locking for continuous use 5

• Speed control for smooth starting 6

• Maximum speed control 7

With wheel B 2 the maximum speed can be adjusted

steplessly from minimum to maximum

• Changing direction of rotation 8

- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A

cannot be activated

- the tool functions at limited speed when set for left

rotation

! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a

complete standstill

• Selecting operating mode 9

- press button F to unlock switch E

- turn switch E to the desired operating mode until it

snap-locks

! start working only when switch E is locked

1 = normal drilling/screwdriving

2 = impact drilling

3 = chiseling

! select operating mode only when tool is switched

off and plug is disconnected
