SAFETYINSTRUCTIONSFORHAMMERS
• Wearearprotectors (exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss)
• Useauxiliaryhandle(s),ifsuppliedwiththetool
(loss of control can cause personal injury)
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool
• Securetheworkpiece (a workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and
ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete
standstill
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used
• Use only accessories with an allowable speed matching
at least the highest no-load speed of the tool
• This tool should not be used by people under the age of
16 years
• Usesuitabledetectorstofindhiddenutilitylinesor
callthelocalutilitycompanyforassistance (contact
with electric lines can lead to fire or electrical shock;
damaging a gas line can result in an explosion;
penetrating a water pipe will cause property damage or
an electrical shock)
• Holdpowertoolbyinsulatedgrippingsurfaces,

cord (a cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock)
• Donotworkmaterialscontainingasbestos (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); wearadustmaskandworkwithadust
extractiondevicewhenconnectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such
as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with
additives for wood conditioning; wearadustmaskand
workwithadustextractiondevicewhen
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the
materials you want to work with
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do
not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it
replaced by a qualified person
• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the
voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with
a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a
220V supply)
• If the drill bit becomes unexpectedly jammed (causing a
sudden, dangerous reaction), immediately switch off the
tool
• Be aware of the forces that occur as a result of jamming
(especially when drilling metals); alwaysuseauxiliary
handleH2 and take a secure stance
• Alwaysdisconnectplugfrompowersourcebefore
makinganyadjustmentorchanginganyaccessory
WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire
in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool,
it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended
USE
• On/off 4
• Switch locking for continuous use 5
• Speed control for smooth starting 6
• Maximum speed control 7
With wheel B 2 the maximum speed can be adjusted
steplessly from minimum to maximum
• Changing direction of rotation 8
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A
cannot be activated
- the tool functions at limited speed when set for left
rotation
