Important - Skil 2531 Notice Originale

8 Do not dispose of the charger together with household
waste material
9 Do not dispose of the battery together with household
waste material
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of the charger to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of the
charger, it must be disposed of safely and not
left unattended
USE
• Combined switch A 2 for on/off and speed control
Control the speed steplessly from zero to maximum by
putting less or more pressure on the trigger
• Charging battery 0
! a lithium-ion battery that is new or has not been
used for a longer period does not develop its full
capacity until after approximately 3 charging/
discharging cycles
- connect charger to power source as illustrated 0a
- green light B will turn on indicating that the charger is
ready for operation 0a
- insert battery into charger as illustrated 0b
! the battery can also remain in the tool while
charging; in that case the tool cannot be
switched on
- green light B will blink indicating that the battery is
being charged 0c
- after approximately 1 hour the battery is fully charged
and green light B stays on after blinking, at which time
the charger automatically switches to maintenance-
charging 0d
! 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 that the battery is too cold or too hot
(charger only charges batteries when its temperature
is between 0°C and 45°C); the charger then
automatically switches to maintenance-charging, until
a temperature between 0°C and 45°C is reached, at
which time the charger will automatically switch to
normal charging 0e
- 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 charge at temperatures below 0°C and over
45°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well as
the charger
- do not remove battery from tool while it is running
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool, it
is best to unplug the charger from its power source
- when the lithium-ion battery is empty, the tool is
switched off automatically
- a significantly reduced working period after charging
indicates that the battery is worn out and should
be replaced
• Changing direction of rotation !
- 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 bits @
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
• Torque control (VariTorque) #
- 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
• Mechanical gear selection $
- set selector F to desired speed
! actuate the gear selector while tool is
running slowly
LOW
- low speed
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
HIGH
- high speed
- lower torque
- for drilling small diameters
• Battery protection
Switches off the tool automatically when
1) the load is too high
2) the battery temperature is not within the allowable
operating temperature range of -10 to +60°C
3) the lithium-ion battery is nearly empty (to protect
against deep discharge)
! do not continue to press the on/off switch after
the tool is switched off automatically; battery may
be damaged
• Spot light G %
Spot light G automatically lights on when activating
switch A 2
• Holding and guiding the tool ^
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- keep ventilation slots H 2 uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool; let the tool
do the work for you
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Use the appropriate bits &
! only use sharp bits
• When drilling ferrous metals
- pre-drill a smaller hole, when a large hole is required
- lubricate drill bit occasionally with oil
• 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
