7 Automatic shut-off when charger gets too hot
(thermic fuse blows and charger becomes useless)
8 Do not dispose of the charger together with household
waste material
9 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 0
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
- connect charger to power source as illustrated
- insert battery into charger
- red light H will turn on indicating that the battery is
being charged
- red light H will stay on as long as the battery is
connected to the charger and the charger is in the wall
socket
! remove battery from charger after charging
period has ended thereby lengthening the service
life of the battery

IMPORTANT:

- after 3 hours the charging operation will be completed,
and the battery may be used
- 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
45°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 efficiency
- if you anticipate long periods of non-use for the tool, it
is best to unplug the charger from its power source
• On/Off !
• Speed control for smooth starting @
• Changing direction of rotation #
- when not properly set in left/right position, switch A 2
cannot be activated
! change direction of rotation only when tool is at a
complete standstill
• Changing bits $
- insert the bit as deep as possible in the chuck
! do not use bits with a damaged shank
• Torque control (VariTorque) %
- output torque will increase as clutch ring D is rotated
from 1 to 5; position E will lock up the clutch to permit
drilling or driving heavy duty work
- when turning in a screw, first try VariTorque position
1 and increase until the desired depth has
been reached
• Holding and guiding the tool ^
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s)
- keep ventilation slots F 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
• 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
• 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
• Splinterfree drilling in wood *
• Dustfree drilling in walls (
• Dustfree drilling in ceilings )
• Drilling in tiles without skidding ¡

manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be
carried out by an after-sales service centre for SKIL
power tools
- send the tool or charger undismantled together with
proof of purchase to your dealer or the nearest SKIL
service station (addresses as well as the service
