Frequently Asked Questions - 2321 AA SKIL

How to change the chuck on the SKIL 2321 AA drill/driver?

To change the chuck, loosen the screw in the chuck (counterclockwise) with a Torx screwdriver, then unscrew the entire chuck. Screw on the new chuck and tighten the screw. Make sure to lock the shaft with an Allen key.

How to adjust the torque setting?

Turn the torque adjustment ring located behind the chuck. The numbers (1 to 15) indicate the torque level. Set it to the number suitable for your screw to avoid damaging the material.

My battery does not hold a charge, what should I do?

Check that the battery is properly inserted and the contacts are clean. Test the battery condition with another charger. If it no longer charges, it probably needs to be replaced.

How to reverse the rotation direction?

Use the rotation direction switch located above the trigger. Push it left for clockwise rotation (screwing) and right for counterclockwise (unscrewing). Do not change direction while the motor is running to avoid damage.

The drill/driver no longer starts, what to check?

Make sure the battery is charged and engaged. Check the carbon brushes (wear/replace if < 6 mm). If the problem persists, consult an after-sales service.

What is the battery type and voltage?

The SKIL 2321 AA drill/driver uses a Lithium-ion 18 V battery. It is interchangeable with other tools in the same SKIL range.

How to clean the drill/driver after use?

Clean the housing with a soft, dry cloth. The ventilation slots can be dusted with a soft brush. Never use chemicals or water.

Can I use accessories from other brands?

Yes, provided they have a shank of 10 mm or less (universal chuck). For drills and bits, use models compatible with drill/drivers.

How to change the carbon brushes?

Unscrew the side caps of the motor (on each side). Remove the worn brushes and insert new ones respecting the direction. Replace the caps. This operation is necessary after approximately 100 hours of use.

The drill/driver heats up abnormally, is it serious?

Slight heating is normal during intensive use. If the heat is excessive, stop the tool and check the ventilation slots. A blockage can cause overheating of the motor. Let it cool before reusing.

SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use an earth leakage circuit breaker. Use of an earth leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
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. A wrench 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 jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry 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 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
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from power source

• after approximately 1 hour the battery is fully charged and green light B stays on after blinking ⑫c

! remove battery from charger after charging period has ended thereby lengthening the service life of the battery

IMPORTANT:

• if green light B does not blink after inserting a battery, 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)
  2) that the battery should be replaced
• the lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time (interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery)
• the lithium-ion battery does not have to be empty before charging (no "memory-effect" as with nickel-cadmium batteries)
• 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
• a significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is worn out and should be replaced

- Changing direction of rotation ⑬

• when not properly set in left/right position, switch A ② cannot be activated
  ! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a complete standstill

- Changing drill bits ⑭

• insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
• use screw bits in combination with a bitholder
  ! do not use bits with a damaged shank
  ! only use sharp bits

- Torque control (VariTorque) 15

• output torque will increase as clutch ring C is rotated from 1 to 19; position D will lock up the clutch to permit drilling or driving heavy duty work
• when turning in a screw, first try VariTorque position 1 and increase until the desired depth has been reached
