IMPORTANT: Read Before Using

General Safety Rules For All Battery Operated Tools

Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions ! WARNING listed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the locked or off position before inserting battery pack. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or inserting the battery pack into a tool with the switch on invites accidents.

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 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.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords may create a fire.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used with another battery.

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may create a risk of fire.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. A tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

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 sparks, burns, or a fire.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on another tool.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of shock or injury.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Safety Rules for Cordless Hammer Drills

Unstable support can cause the drill bit to bind causing loss of control and injury. Disconnect battery pack from tool or place the switch in the locked or off position before making any assembly, adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tools may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool

“live” and shock the operator. Do not drill, fasten or break into existing walls or other blind areas where electrical wiring may exist. If this situation is unavoidable, disconnect all fuses or circuit breakers feeding this worksite.

Position yourself to avoid being caught between the tool or side handle and walls or posts. Should the bit become bound or jammed in the work, the reaction torque of the tool could crush your hand or leg.

Wear ear protectors when using the tool for extended periods. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing loss.

If the bit becomes bound in the workpiece, release the trigger immediately, reverse the direction of rotation and slowly squeeze the trigger to back out the bit. Be ready for a strong reaction torque. The drill body will tend to twist in the opposite direction as the drill bit is rotating.

Always use auxiliary handle for maximum control over torque reaction or kick-back.

High torque 3/8" and larger chuck capacity drills are equipped with auxiliary handles. Always wear safety goggles or eye protection when using this tool. Use a dust mask or respirator for applications which generate dust.

Do not grasp the tool or place your hands too close to the spinning chuck or drill bit.

Your hand may be lacerated.

Use thick cushioned gloves and limit the exposure time by taking frequent rest periods. Vibration caused by hammer-drill action may be harmful to your hands and arms.

When installing a drill bit, insert the shank of the bit well within the jaws of the chuck. If the bit is not inserted deep enough, the grip of the jaws over the bit is reduced and the loss of control is increased.

Secure the material being drilled. Never hold it in your hand or across legs.

Some dust created by

Do not use dull or damaged bits and accessories. Dull or damaged bits have a greater tendency to bind in the workpiece.

! WARNING power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

When removing the bit from the tool avoid contact with skin and use proper protective gloves when grasping the bit or accessory. Accessories may be hot after prolonged use.

• Lead from lead-based paints,

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

Check to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the drill before switching the tool "ON". Keys or wrenches can fly away at high velocity striking you or a bystander.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemicallytreated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Do not run the tool while carrying it at your side. A spinning drill bit could become entangled with clothing and injury may result.

Before using battery charger, read all instructions and cautionary markings on (1) battery charger, (2) battery pack, and (3) product using battery.

where temperatures will not exceed 120 degrees F (49 degrees C). This is important to prevent serious damage to the battery cells.

Use only the charger which accompanied your product or direct replacement as listed in the catalog or this manual. Do not substitute any other charger. Use only Skil approved chargers with your product. See

Functional Description and Specifications.

Battery leakage may occur under extreme usage or temperature conditions. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. The battery liquid is caustic and could cause chemical burns to tissues. If liquid comes in contact with skin, wash quickly with soap and water, then with lemon juice or vinegar. If the liquid contacts your eyes, flush them with water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek medical attention.

Do not disassemble charger or operate the charger if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped or otherwise damaged in any way. Replace damaged cord or plugs immediately. Incorrect reassembly or damage may result in electric shock or fire.

Place charger on flat non-flammable surfaces and away from flammable materials when re-charging battery pack.

The charger and battery pack heat during charging. Carpeting and other heat insulating surfaces block proper air circulation which may cause overheating of the charger and battery pack. If smoke or melting of the case are observed unplug the charger immediately and do not use the battery pack or charger.

Do not recharge battery in damp or wet environment. Do not expose charger to rain or snow. If battery case is cracked or otherwise damaged, do not insert into charger. Battery short or fire may result.

Charge only Skil approved rechargeable batteries. See Functional Description and Specifications. Other types of batteries may burst causing personal injury and damage.

Use of an attachment not recommended or sold by Skil may result in a risk of fire, electric shock or injury to persons.

Charge battery pack in temperatures above +40 degrees F (4 degrees C) and below +105 degrees F (41 degrees C).

Operating Instructions

VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLED TRIGGER SWITCH Your tool is equipped with a variable speed trigger switch. The tool speed can be controlled from the minimum to the maximum nameplate RPM by the pressure you apply to the trigger. Apply more pressure to increase the speed and release pressure to decrease speed. This accurate speed control enables you to drill without center punching. It also permits you to use as a power screwdriver. Bits are available for driving screws as well as running bolts and nuts.

The hammer drill position locks up the clutch for hammer drilling.

The clutch ring allows the tool to be set for various drilling /hammer drilling applications. Rotate the clutch ring to the drill or hammer drill symbol depending on the below applications).

FORWARD/REVERSING LEVER &

TRIGGER LOCK Your tool is equipped with a forward/ reversing lever and trigger lock located above the trigger (Fig. 1). This lever was designed for changing rotation of the chuck, and for locking the trigger in an “OFF” position to help prevent accidental starts and accidental battery discharge. For forward rotation, (with chuck pointed away from you) move the lever to the far left. For reverse rotation move the lever to the far right. To activate trigger lock move lever to the center off position. Do not change direction of ! CAUTION rotation until the tool comes to a complete stop. Shifting during rotation of the chuck can cause damage to the tool.

AUXILIARY HANDLE The auxiliary handle will provide additional control, support and guidance for the tool.

To mount, thread handle into hole provided in housing until tight. BRAKE When the trigger switch is released it activates the brake to stop the chuck quickly. This is especially useful in the repetitive driving and removal of screws.

Drilling mode: For drilling in woods, metals, plastics or other non concrete materials.

Hammer drilling mode: For drilling in brick, block, mortar, concrete, asphalt, tile or other similar hard materials.

INSERTING BITS Move reverse switch lever to the center

“OFF” position. Remove battery pack and rotate the clutch ring to the drill bit symbol “ ”. Rotate the chuck sleeve counterclockwise viewing from chuck end, and open chuck to approximate drill bit diameter. Insert a clean bit up to the drill bit flutes for small bits, or as far as it will go for large bits.

GEAR SHIFTING Your tool is equipped with two separate gear ranges, low gear and high gear. Low gear provides high-torque and slower drilling speeds for heavy duty work or for driving screws. High gear provides faster speeds for drilling lighter work. To change speeds slide switch, to the high or low position.

ATTENTION: If your tool appears to be running, but the chuck will not turn, check to make sure the gear shifting switch is pushed fully into desired setting.

CHUCK SLEEVE CLOCKWISE COUNTER CLOCKWISE Close chuck by rotating the chuck sleeve clockwise and securely tighten by hand until a noticeable "click" noise is heard, indicating that the drill bit is firmly gripped in the jaws.

ADJUSTABLE CLUTCH Your tool features 6 clutch settings. Output torque will increase as the clutch ring, is rotated from 1 to 5. The drill “

” position will lock up the clutch to permit drilling and driving heavyduty work, and also enables bits to be changed quickly and easily in the keyless chuck.

Do not use the power of the drill while grasping chuck to loosen or tighten bit. Friction burn or hand injury is possible if attempting to grasp the spinning chuck.

After normal usage, the battery pack requires approximately 3 hours or less charging time to become fully charged. If the battery pack is run-down completely, it may require up to 5 hours charging time to become fully charged.

When the battery pack is fully charged, unplug the charger (unless you're charging another battery pack) and slip the battery pack back into the tool handle.

BATTERY PACK IMPORTANT CHARGING NOTES

1. The battery pack accepts only about 80% of its maximum capacity with its first few charge cycles. However, after the first few charge cycles, the battery will charge to full capacity. 2. The charger was designed to fast charge the battery only when the battery temperature is between 40˚F (4˚C) and 105˚F (41˚C). 3. A substantial drop in operating time per charge may mean that the battery pack is nearing the end of its life and should be replaced. 4. If you anticipate long periods (i.e. a month or more) of non-use of your tool, it is best to run your tool down until it is fully discharged before storing your battery pack. After a long period of storage, the capacity at first recharge will be lower. Normal capacity will be restored in two or three charge/discharge

cycles. Remember to unplug charger during storage period.

5. If battery does not charge properly: a. Check for voltage at outlet by plugging in some other electrical device. b. Check to see if outlet is connected to a light switch which turns power “off” when lights are turned off. c. Check battery pack terminals for dirt. Clean with cotton swab and alcohol if necessary. d. If you still do not get proper charging, take or send tool, battery pack and charger to your local Skil Service Center. See “Tools, Electric” in the Yellow Pages for names and addresses. Note: Use of chargers or battery packs not sold by Skil may void the warranty.

DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC If backing block is not used, ease up on the pressure just before the bit breaks through the wood to avoid splintering. Complete the hole from the opposite side immediately after the point breaks through. If bit binds, reverse the drilling operation to help remove the bit from the work.

DRILLING METAL Make a center punch in the material for easier starting. Use enough pressure to keep the bit cutting. If the bit is allowed to merely spin in the hole, it will become dull within a short time. When drilling a larger hole, it is faster and easier on your power pack to first make a smaller hole and enlarge it to the

required size. Lubricate the tip of the bit occasionally with CUTTING OIL for easier metal drilling. If bit binds, reverse the drilling to help remove the bit from the work.

It is not recommended to drill holes larger than 3/8" diameter through soft steel thicker than 1/8". Drilling through metal rapidly drains energy from your power pack.

DRILLING MASONRY Use carbide-tipped masonry bit for cinder block, mortar, common brick, concrete, soft stone and other materials. The amount of pressure to be used is dependent upon the type of material being drilled. Soft materials require less pressure while the hard materials

need more pressure to prevent the drill bit from spinning.

It is not recommended to drill holes larger than 3/8" diameter in masonry material. Doing so rapidly drains energy from the battery pack.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS This procedure shown in (Fig. 5) will enable you to fasten materials together with your

Cordless Drill/Screwdriver without stripping, splitting or separating the material. First, clamp the pieces together and drill the first hole 2/3 the diameter of the screw. If the material is soft, drill only 2/3 the proper length. If it is hard, drill the entire length. Second, unclamp the pieces and drill the second hole the same diameter as the screw shank in the first or top piece of wood. Third, if flat head screw is used, countersink the hole to make the screw flush with the surface. Then, simply apply even pressure when driving the screw. The screw shank clearance hole in the first piece allows the screw head to pull the pieces tightly together. The adjustable screw drill accessory will do all of these operations quickly and easily. Screw drills are available for screw sizes No. 6, 8, 10 and 12.

FASTENING WITH SCREWS

2. Drill same diameter as screw shank.

3. Countersink same diameter as screw head.

1. Drill 2/3 diameter and

2/3 of screw length for soft materials, full length for hard materials.

Apply a slight even pressure when driving screws.

Service NO USER SERVICEABLE ! WARNING PARTS INSIDE. Preventive maintenance performed by unauthorized personnel may result in misplacing of internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard. We recommend that all tool service be performed by a Skil Factory Service Center or Authorized Skil Service Station. SERVICEMEN: Disconnect tool and/or charger from power source before servicing. BATTERIES Be alert for battery packs that are nearing their end of life. Battery packs typically last from 500 to 1000 charges. If you notice decreased tool performance or significantly shorter running time between charges then it is time to replace the battery pack. Failure to do so can cause the tool to operate improperly or damage the charger. Long term battery storage should be in the discharged state. Battery packs last longer and re-charge better when they are stored discharged. Remember to fully recharge battery packs before using after prolonged storage.

TOOL LUBRICATION Your Skil tool has been properly lubricated and is ready for use. It is recommended that

tools with gears be regreased with a special gear lubricant yearly.

D.C. MOTORS The motor in your tool has been engineered for many hours of dependable service. To maintain peak efficiency of the motor, we recommend it be examined every six months. Only a genuine Skil replacement motor specially designed for your tool should be used.

To avoid accidents, ! WARNING always disconnect the tool and/or charger from the power supply before cleaning. The tool may be cleaned most effectively with compressed dry air. Always wear safety goggles when cleaning tools with compressed air. Ventilation openings and switch levers must be kept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through opening. Certain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household detergents that contain ammonia.
