Skil 2236 Notice Originale page 7

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
45°C; this will seriously damage the battery as well
as the charger
! 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 nickel-cadmium 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
• On/Off & Changing direction of rotation 9
• Changing bits 0
- push bit to end position in bitholder
! never use bits shorter than 30 mm
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
• Automatic spindle-lock
Allows you to manually tighten or loosen screws,
when necessary !
• Two handle positions @
1 - for normal screwdriving
2 - for screwdriving in hard-to-reach places
- for optimal results when tightening/loosening
screws manually
APPLICATION ADVICE
• Use the appropriate bits #
! do not use damaged bits
• 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
• For more tips see www.skileurope.com
• Vibration level
The vibration emission level stated at the back of this
instruction manual 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 maintainted accessories, may
signifi cantly increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may
signifi cantly 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
