Auxiliary Handle; Operating Tips - Skil HD182001 Manual Del Propietário

Inserting Bit
For small bits, open the jaws enough to insert
the bit up to the flutes. For large bits, insert
the bit as far as it will go. Center the bit as you
close the jaws by hand. This positions the bit
properly, giving maximum contact between the
chuck jaws and the bit shank.
To tighten chuck, insert the key into each of the
three key holes in succession and firmly tighten
them clockwise. The chuck can be released by
using one hole only (Fig. 3).

Auxiliary Handle

The auxiliary handle will provide additional control, support, and guidance for the tool. The
handle is adjustable to any position around the 360° front housing collar.
To mount the auxiliary handle, rotate the lower portion of the hand grip counter-clockwise to
loosen it. Then push upward on the thumb grip provided and slide the handle completely over
the front housing collar.
To adjust, push upward on the thumb grip, move the handle to the desired position, and
securely tighten the lower portion of hand grip clockwise (refer to Fig. 1).
Depth Gauge
The drilling depth can be pre-set and/or repeated by using the depth gauge.
Setting the depth: After the auxiliary handle is installed, make sure that the bit has been fully
inserted into the chuck before setting the depth gauge.
To adjust the depth, rotate the lower portion of the hand grip counter-clockwise to loosen the
depth gauge, slide the depth gauge to the desired position, and securely tighten hand grip
clockwise (Fig. 1).
Drill/Hammer-Drill Selector Switch
The selector switch allows the tool to be set for various drilling/hammer drilling applications.
Move the selector switch right or left depending on applications, as described below (Fig. 1).
CAUTION
Drill-only action: For drilling in woods, metals, plastics, or other non-concrete materials.
Drill with hammer action: For drilling in masonry, asphalt, tile, or other similar hard
materials.

Operating Tips

You will extend the life of your bits and do neater work if you always put the bit in contact with
the work before pulling the trigger. During operation, hold the tool firmly and exert light, steady
pressure. Too much pressure at low speed will stall the tool. Too little pressure will keep the

Do not operate the selection switch until the tool has come to a complete
stop. Shifting during chuck rotation can cause damage to the tool.
