Maintenance / Service - Skil 1001 Notice Originale

• Explanation of symbols on charger/battery
3 Read the instruction manual before use
4 Only use the charger indoors
5 Double insulation (no earth wire required)
6 Incorrect polarity of the charger connection could
cause a hazard (only charge the battery with the
charger supplied)
7 Automatic shut-of when charger gets too hot (thermic
fuse blows and charger becomes useless)
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 of the cord of the charger,
it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
• Charging battery 0
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- connect charger to power source as illustrated
- insert battery into charger
- red light K will turn on indicating that the battery is
being charged
- red light K will stay on as long as the battery is connected
to the charger and the charger is in the wall socket
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- after 3 hours the charging operation will be completed,
and the battery may be used
- 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
! 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 eiciency
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• On/Of !
• Speed control for smooth starting @
• 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 D is rotated
from 1 to 20; position E will lock up the clutch to permit
drilling or driving heavy duty work
- when turning in a screw, irst 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
1 = LOW SPEED
- high torque
- for screwdriving and drilling large diameters
- for tapping thread
2 = HIGH SPEED
- lower torque
- for drilling small diameters
• 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
• For an optimal use of the tool a steady pressure on the
screw is required, especially while removing
• When screwdriving in hard wood one should pre-drill
a hole
• Splinterfree drilling in wood )
• Dustfree drilling in walls ¡
• Dustfree drilling in ceilings ™
• Drilling in tiles without skidding £

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE

• Keep tool and charger clean
- clean charging contacts in charger with alcohol or
contact cleaner
! 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.skileurope.com)
