5) BATTERY TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used with
another battery pack.
b) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORDLESS
SCREWDRIVERS
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the charger
(chargers with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be
connected to a 220V supply)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from
power source
• SKIL can assure fl awless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• Hold the power tool only by the insulated gripping
surfaces when performing an operation where the
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
power cord (contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock
the operator)
• Use suitable detectors to find hidden utility lines or
call the local utility company for assistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fi 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 classifi 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
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• Do not activate switch when changing accessories or
carrying the tool
CHARGING/BATTERIES
• Charge battery only with the charger that is supplied
with the tool
• Do not expose tool/charger to rain
• Store tool/charger in locations where temperature will
not exceed 40°C or drop below 0°C
• Batteries will explode when disposed of in fi re, so do
not burn battery for any reason
• Do not use tool/charger when damaged; take it to one
of the offi cially registered SKIL Service Stations for a
safety check
• Do not use charger when cord or plug is damaged; cord
or plug should be replaced immediately at one of the
offi cially registered SKIL Service Stations
• Do not disassemble charger or tool
• Explanation of symbols on charger
2 Read the instruction manual before use
3 Only use the charger indoors
4 Double insulation (no earth wire required)
5 Incorrect polarity of the charger connection could
cause a hazard (only charge the battery with the
charger supplied)
6 Do not dispose of the charger together with
household waste material
7 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
• Charging battery 8
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- connect charger to power source as illustrated
! unplug the charger from the tool after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- while charging, the charger and the battery may
become warm to touch; this is normal and does not
indicate a problem
- do not charge at temperatures below 0°C and over
40°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well
as the charger
