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. Unmodied 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 a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 inuence 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.

WARNINGS - WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below 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) power tool.

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 bystanders9 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may aect 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 dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Recharge only with the charger specied 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 specically 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 or a re. 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 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 jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 o. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.

• This tool is not intended for professional use

• Keep tool and charger clean ! unplug charger from power source before cleaning

• If the tool/charger should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL power tools - send the tool or charger undismantled together with proof of purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL service station (addresses as well as the service diagram of the tool are listed on www.skil.com) ENVIRONMENT

• Do not dispose of electric tools, batteries, accessories and packaging together with household waste material (only for EU countries) - in observance of European Directive 2012/19/EC on waste of electric and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility - symbol

will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs ! remove the batteries before disposal of the tool

• Removing/disposing of batteries

! only remove the batteries if they are completely empty - protect battery terminals with heavy tape to prevent short-circuit - dispose of the batteries at an ocial collection point for batteries - batteries may explode when disposed of in re, so do not burn battery for any reason this is normal and does not indicate a problem - do not charge at temperatures below 0°C and over 45°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well as the charger ! a battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full capacity until after approximately 5 charging/discharging cycles - do not repeatedly recharge the battery after only a few minutes of operation; this may result in a reduction of operating time and battery eciency - the battery must be kept separate from the natural environment and should not be disposed of as normal domestic waste (symbol

will remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs) - if you anticipate long periods of non- use for the tool, it is best to unplug the charger from its power source

• Changing direction of rotation

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

cannot be activated ! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a complete standstill

! do not use bits with a damaged shank

• Automatic spindle-lock Allows you to manually tighten or loosen screws, when necessary

! do not use damaged bits ! only use bits with hexagon shaft

• When turning in a screw at/near the cross cut end or an edge of wood, pre- drill a hole in order to avoid cracking of the wood

• For an optimal use of the tool a steady pressure on the screw is required, especially while removing13

• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound pressure level of this tool is <70 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB) and the vibration <2.5 m/s² (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)

• The vibration emission level has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned - using the tool for dierent applications, or with dierent or poorly maintained accessories, may signicantly increase the exposure level - the times when the tool is switched o or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may signicantly reduce the exposure level ! protect yourself against the eects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns
