Skil MASTERS 2760 Notice Originale page 10

• Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming
(especially when drilling metals); always use auxiliary
handle G 2 and take a secure stance
• Ensure that switch B 2 is in the middle (locking)
position before making any adjustments or changing
accessories as well as when carrying or storing the tool
CHARGING/BATTERIES
• Charge battery only with the charger that is supplied
with the tool
• 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
• Batteries will explode when disposed of in fi re, so do
not burn battery for any reason
• Do not use 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 use battery when damaged; it should be
replaced immediately
• Do not disassemble charger or battery
• Do not attempt to recharge non-rechargeable batteries
with the charger
• 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 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 (green light J turns
on indicating that the charger is receiving power)
- insert battery into charger
- red light K will blink indicating that the battery is
being charged
- after approximately 1 hour the battery is fully charged
and red light K stays on after blinking, at which time
the charger automatically switches to maintenance-
charging
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery
IMPORTANT:
- if red light K starts blinking rapidly, this may mean:
1) 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
2) that the battery should be cleaned or replaced
- 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
40°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 effi ciency
- the battery must be kept separate from the natural
environment and should not be disposed of as
normal domestic waste (symbol 7 will remind you of
this when the need for disposing occurs)
! prior to disposal protect battery terminals with
heavy tape to prevent short-circuit
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool,
it is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• Battery level indicator 9
- shows how much energy the battery has left
- the indicator only shows the energy level of a new
(replaced) battery after having switched on the tool
again
• On/off 0
• Speed control for smooth starting !
• Changing direction of rotation @
- indicator D shows the selected 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
• Selecting operating mode #
1 = normal drilling/screwdriving
2 = impact drilling
! select operating mode only when tool is switched
off
- for drilling in wood, metal and plastic as well as for
screwdriving use adapter L 2
- the hammer mechanism is activated by applying a
slight pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in
contact with the workpiece
