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

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

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 inuence 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

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the o-position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying

the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the switch on

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

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

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and o. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

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.

SAFETY GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all

instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions

may result in electric shock, re 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)

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 ammable

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

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.

Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk

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.8

• Ensure that children do not play with the tool/charger

• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with

clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory or fastener may contact hidden wiring

or its own cord (cutting accessory and fasteners

contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts

of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an

• Use suitable detectors to nd 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)

• 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

• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the

materials you want to work with

• Ensure that switch B

is in the middle (locking)

position before making any adjustments or changing

accessories as well as when carrying or storing the tool

• Charge battery only with the charger that is supplied

• Do not touch the contacts in the charger

• Do not expose tool/charger/battery to rain

• Do not charge battery in damp or wet environments

• Store tool/charger/battery in locations where

temperature will not exceed 40°C or drop below 0°C

• Do not use charger when damaged; take it to one of the

ocially registered SKIL Service Stations for a safety

• Do not use charger when cord or plug is damaged; cord

or plug should be replaced immediately at one of the

ocially 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

EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS ON CHARGER/BATTERY

Read the instruction manual before use

Only use the charger indoors

Double insulation (no earth wire required)

Fail-safe isolating transformer (the power source is

electrically separated from the transformer output)

Automatic shut-o when charger gets too hot (thermic

fuse blows and charger becomes useless)

Incorrect polarity of the charger connection could cause

a hazard (only charge the battery with the charger

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any

other condition that may aect 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

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specied by the

manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type

of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with

another battery pack.

b) Use power tools only with specically designated

battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may

create a risk of injury and re.

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

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact

accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid

contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help.

Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair

person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
