before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
f) keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) BatterY tool use and Care
a) recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
b) use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
c) when battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys,
nails, screws, or other small metal objects that can
make a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns
or a fire.
d) under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact
accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
6) serVICe
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

voltage indicated on the nameplate of the charger
(chargers with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be
connected to a 220V supply)
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool or unplug charger from
power source
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when the correct accessories are used which can be
obtained from your SKIL dealer
• The tool/charger is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the tool/charger by a person
responsible for their safety

4 Only use the charger indoors
5 Double insulation (no earth wire required)
6 Fail-safe isolating transformer (the power source is
electrically separated from the transformer output)
7 Automatic shut-off when charger gets too hot (thermic
fuse blows and charger becomes useless)
8 Incorrect polarity of the charger connection could cause
a hazard (only charge the battery with the charger
supplied)
9 Do not dispose of the charger together with household
waste material

environment-polluting way
use
• Charging battery @
- battery of new tools is not fully charged
! 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, even though the red
light may still be on (the red light may require more
than 3 hours to turn off)
- 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
40°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
- the nickel-metalhydride battery must be kept separate
from the natural environment and should not be
disposed of as normal domestic waste (symbol 0 will
remind you of this when the need for disposing occurs)
