Skil 1734 Notice Originale page 12

• Maximum speed control 9
With wheel A 2 the maximum speed can be adjusted from
low to high (A-F)
• Changing direction of rotation 0
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch B
cannot be activated
- the tool functions at limited speed when set for left
rotation
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Changing bits !
! clean and lightly lubricate the SDS+ accessory
before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve D and insert accessory in SDS+
chuck while turning and pushing it until it engages; the
accessory locks in position automatically
- pull accessory to check that it is locked correctly
- remove accessory by pulling back locking sleeve D
! the SDS+ accessory requires freedom of movement
which causes eccentricity when tool is off-load;
however, the accessory automatically centres itself
during operation without affecting drilling precision
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
• Selecting operating mode @
1 = normal drilling/screwdriving
2 = hammer drilling
! select operating mode only when tool is switched
off and plug is disconnected
- the hammer mechanism is activated by applying a slight
pressure on the tool when the drill bit is in contact with
the workpiece
- it takes a short time for the hammer mechanism to reach
full impact power
- best hammer drilling results can be obtained by only a
slight pressure on the tool; drilling performance will not
improve by applying more pressure on the tool
• Adjusting drilling depth #
• Holding and guiding the tool $
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- always use auxiliary handle H (can be adjusted as
illustrated)
- keep ventilation slots J 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
• For drilling in wood, metal and plastic as well as for
screwdriving use an adapter (not standard included) ^
! clean and lightly lubricate the SDS+ adapter
before insertion
- pull back locking sleeve D 2 and insert adapter in
SDS+ chuck while turning and pushing it until it
engages; the adapter locks in position automatically
- pull adapter to check whether is it locked correctly
- set switch F 2 to normal drilling (only activate when
tool is switched off and plug is disconnected)
• 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
• Splinterfree drilling in wood &
• Dustfree drilling in walls *
• Dustfree drilling in ceilings (
• Drilling in tiles without skidding )

MAINTENANCE / SERVICE
• This tool is not intended for professional use
• Always keep tool and cord clean (especially the
ventilation slots)
! disconnect the plug before cleaning
• If the tool 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 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, 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 5 will remind you of this when the need for
disposing occurs
NOISE / VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 88 dB(A) and the sound
power level 99 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration ✱ (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱ when hammer drilling in concrete 12.0 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 different applications, or with different
or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may significantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration
by maintaining the tool and its accessories,
keeping your hands warm, and organizing your
work patterns
